The FEIF Conference 2013 was the largest in our Conference-history with 112 registered participants from 11 different member countries. The annual meetings of sport, breeding, youth, education and leisure riding took place. And apart from that participants could enjoy different presentations, e.g. ‘Characterisation of leisure horses’ (Sylvie Rizo), ‘Definition of gaits’ (Þorvaldur Kristjánsson), or ‘A roadtrip to a new sport judges guideline’ (Þorgeir Guðlaugsson).
