UNICORN DREAMS: KIDS SHINE AT GENTLE GIANTS-SPONSORED HORSE EVENT
Few things are more iconic in Iceland than our world-famous horses (and the whales of course). Gentle Giants is proud to sponsor the equestrian tournament held last weekend at the Þjálfi horse club’s oval track near Húsavík.
As part of the event, a riding course for kids was skilfully led by Oddný Lára, daughter of our captain Guðni. Among the young riders was Luna, the six-year-old daughter of our assistant manager, Daniel. She beamed of pride when showing tölt – a unique gait of the Icelandic horse – during the tournament, on the back of a hornless unicorn called Boggi.
Supporting our local community is something Gentle Giants holds close to heart. Contributing to this weekend’s equestrian event was an honour – especially when witnessing the joy and excitement in the eyes of the young riders.
