Panel discussion at the Virtual Education Seminar of LH

After the four main speakers of the conference have finished their lectures, we have the fifth night on November  2nd of panel discussions with well known professionals. The panel speakers will each summon up what they found most important from the lectures, and then answer questions from the seminar participants.  The goal was to have a panel of experts with a broad experience in the sport and culture of the Icelandic horse. In the group we have four countries represented, we have very experienced and successful horse trainers, riding-teachers, sport and breeding judges, national team trainers, world champions, Icelandic champions, Nordic champions and German champions and Landsmót winners but first of all well renowned horse people.
