Karl Áki Sigurðsson horse breeder What did you think of the event? It really was a more success than I dared to hope. The day was great and luckily organizers went on with it, in these strange times we have had. The event gave us breeders a chance to see a lot of horses and we collected a lot of information for our thoughts into the next breeding year. Do you think this event will be annual from now on? I couldn’t say, but I do ask myself if we shouldn’t have some similar event in the years between Landsmót. Do you think this arrangement, where the breeding horses are only presented and not judged, would suit an event like Landsmót in the future? Yes, I think so, but to be honest I hope it does not evolve that way, since I’m one of them who doesn’t want to shorten Landsmót down at all, not one hour! This is the week that I look forward to every two years and I really don’t want to change a thing about it, and I don’t understand the debate to shorten everything, because I like them just the way they are.
