Pace rider of the year 2020

Konráð Valur Sveinsson

Konráð and Kjarkur frá Árbæjarhjáleigu in flying pace.

“It is a good feeling, always enjoyable to receive recognition for your achievements on the track,” says Konráð Valur, who now is the Pace rider of the year, third year in a row. His results last year were amazing. He has the best time of the year in 100m pace and 3rd best in 250m and 150m! But what was your highlight of the season? “I think it is just the big picture, the whole season with Kjarkur frá Árbæjarhjáleigu II. He is the horse that has been with me through many competitions and many seasons in a row in training. A truly magnificent horse. The new pace horses are of course very exciting, it is a great feeling to realize you were right when it comes to picking out a top pace horse.” Konráð became Reykjavík Champion in 250m and 100m pace last year and he was the winner of the Pace games (Skeiðleikar) last year. He showed up with new, very fast horses last year, for example he sat four horses that went the 100m under 8 seconds: Kjarkur frá Árbæjarhjáleigu II (7,32), Dama frá Hekluflötum (7,56), Tangó frá Litla-Garði (7,81), and Kastor frá Garðshorni á Þelamörk (7,86). But what does it take to be a top pace rider year after year? “I think for me, it is having people around me who believe in the same things I do and are ready to discuss them. In that way you can keep on improving in all areas of riding, training or caring for the horses. Then you also have to keep the focus and don’t be afraid to try new things to see what is truly working and what not.” The WC in Herning is this year and Konráð is the World Champion in 100m pace, so he has earned a right to compete there. What horse will you take to Denmark? “There are a few five gaited horses and pace horses I can choose from, Kastor, Kjarkur, Tangó and Laxnes. These are the horses I will be competing on this summer. Then anything can happen, new opportunities, horses, you’ll never now. My goal for each season is to do better than last time and break a record,” says Konráð Valur.
