The “Landsmót” National Horse Show in Iceland - next place to heaven Landsmót hestamanna - Nationalschau der Pferde - auf Wolken schweben It is the middle of the night, but it is light as day. The sun refuses to set. It may hide for a moment behind a mountain or a hill, but then it swiftly returns and surrounds the night in mystical light. I sense an adventure. It’s been an amazing day. I feel like I’ve seen all the world’s greatest horses. The Icelandic horse is of course the most beautiful one. Tomorrow I am going to buy myself a filly. I am sure she will bring me luck. She will become one of the greatest and produce many great horses for me.
I step out of the tent and into the night – into adventure. Maybe I’ll meet old friends? Maybe new ones? Maybe I’ll find love? The music from the big white tent is carried in the breeze through the summer night. People sit outside their tents and caravans with a dim light from their gas cooker, chatting and singing! Almost everyone is a good singer. Horses bow their heads in little paddocks just by, content and safe. Where am I? This must be heaven!
Birna Ósk Ólafsdóttir and Smyrill frá Stokkhólma managed to hold her position at the top in the semi-finals children. Good for her. Here are the results.
Ţorvaldur Árni Ţorvaldsson and Rökkvi frá Hárlaugsstöđum are in the first place after the preliminaries in tölt las night. It was known beforehand that Viđar Ingólfsson and Tumi frá Stóra-Hofi would not give up easily, but they ended second with a score of 8,43. The finals will be exciting.
Between six and seven thousand guests were at the opening ceremony of Landsmót 2008 last night. The weather was excellent and the ceremony was a great success
