Competition

The Rules for Icelandic Horse Competitions are named FEIF Sport Rules and Regulations. They serve the organization of international, national and other Icelandic horse sport events. The FEIF Sport Rules and Regulations are also valid for all World Championships for Icelandic horses.The FEIF Sport Rules and Regulations describe requirements for horses, equipment, and riders and define the different tests in oval track classes (gaited tests), pace track classes (pace test and pace race), and some other classes like trail, flag race, and cross country. Guidelines for sport judges are published in a separate document.

National Ranking is based on scores from both virtual and live National Ranking (NR) shows from the past two years.
