The final day of the FEIF Youth Camp started in the class room again with a lecture on horse health by Úndina Thorgrimsdóttir and a presentation by Johannes Armplatz about the latest research into the maximum rider‘s weight an Icelandic horse can comfortably carry. The latter presentation ended with a fun quiz on the topic, which proved how attentively the participants had been listening. In the afternoon the whole camp took a bus trip to see some of the wonders of Borgarfjördur: boundless hot water rising up from the ground, and equally plentiful water tumbling down in the two waterfalls of Barnafoss and Hraunfoss. A climb up Grábrók offer an insight into the crater of an old volcano. A poster session rounded off the day. Team presentations explored how the 5 domains of horse welfare are implemented in different countries. As is custom, the day and the week came was rounded off with a great party and some amazing dancing on display. Come the morning, it is time to say farewell, but we are confident that the friendships that emerge from here will last well into the future.
