![In memory of Gunnar Bjarnason
A group of horsemen in Iceland has built a monument at
Hvanneyri in Iceland with the support of FEIF to honor the
memory of Gunnar Bjarnason, (1915-1998). Gunnar was one
of the most important persons in the history of the Icelandic
horse in the 20th century. He was the chief horse breeding
consultant for Iceland in the years 1940-1961, and a key
person in promoting the Icelandic horse in Europe and North-
America. Gunnar was also one of the founders of the
Icelandic Equestrian Association and later FEIF. The monument is made out of
stainless steel and rock, and forms the profile of a horse´s head on a foundation of
rocks. The artist is Bjarni Þór Bjarnason, and the foundation was made by Unnsteinn
Elíasson.

discussions at the recent conference in Strasbourg. Two major issues were discussed
in the Leisure Riding Committee: - What characterized the ideal leisure riding horse? -
How do we preserve the ability to access nature for riders in future? Both issues
seemed to be highly relevant in all participating member countries. Hopefully the results
of the result of the survey will be useful in identifying solutions and approaches to
secure access. It is the hope of the Leisure Riding Committee that responses will be
received end of September this year for further processing. Meanwhile the Leisure
