A letter from Jennie Boerema of Icelandic Horses New Zealand:
Good Afternoon,
A couple of weeks ago we gave a demo with two of our Icelandic Horses on the Scandinavian festival in Auckland, together with Kenneth Husted and his horses.
Over there we met some members of the New Zealand Icelandic Society and received a card from your Society with your contact details. Some of the members were really happily surprised to meet the horses from their home country Down Under!
We are owning and breeding Icelandic Horses in New Zealand since 2003. That year we emigrated from the Netherlands to New Zealand and since we are pasionate about the Icelandic Horse, there was no doubt about bringing with us two of our younger horses. We are owning and breeding Icelandics already since 1984.
Two years ago we imported our Iceland born and bred mare through Denmark and last year our first foal to our young stallion was born; Áki frá Skógarrönd.
Every other month I send around a Newsletter to people interested/owning an Icelandic Horse in New Zealand and Australia (see underneath), with information on Icelandic Horses around the world.
Next year we try to organise a tour to Iceland with a riding course at Hólar University.
If you are interested in receiving our Newsletters, please let us know.
If you organise an activity where the horses would fit in, we are happy to discuss the posibilities with you for giving a demo.
Kind Regards,
Jennie Boerema
