What is the FEIF YouthCup?
The FEIF YouthCup (FYC) is a unique event that combines sport, education, and international friendship. Participants not only compete but also learn and build strong connections with riders from other countries. The event promotes team spirit, respect, and cultural exchange, fostering long-term friendships and a shared passion for the Icelandic horse.

Date & Venue
The FEIF Youth Cup 2026 will be held in Rieden GER from the 13th – 19th of July 2026.
After the cancellation of two YouthCups due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are excited to bring back this important tradition and strengthen our sport with a renewed international youth gathering.
Our goals for the YouthCup 2026 include:
- Reconnecting and inspiring the next generation of Icelandic horse lovers
- Filling all available spots again (up to 86 participants)
- Avoiding conflicts with national championships where possible – ideally holding youth nationals before the YouthCup
