The FEIF 2010 Feather Prize awarded to a young Dutchman

The FEIF Feather Prize was awarded recently at the Youth Cup in Denmark. The prize was awarded to the Dutch girl Bo Cavens who was riding the horse Týrson vom Saringhof which many remember from WC 2009 where he was the winner in the finals in T2 with the rider Yoni Blom in the saddle.

The FEIF Feather Prize is a prize awarded in order to encourage good horse riding manner and sportsmanship, a sort of an ode to light and supple horse riding. The prizewinner is a good example for all riders, in the world of Icelandic horses, everywhere.

The FEIF Feather prize was award for the first time in 2002. Like mentioned here above, the object with this prize award is to encourage professional, light and good horse riding.
