The USIHC National Team is designed to elevate the Icelandic horse sport within the US by nurturing our top Icelandic horse equestrians through community building, educational opportunities, financial support, and inspirational role modeling. This effort aims to enhance our presence on the international stage, particularly in World Championship competitions.

Riders have the opportunity to qualify every six months by meeting the listed rider requirements by January 1st or June 1st of the current calendar year. Once initially qualified, team members remain eligible for the team for a 12-month time span. After the 12-month time span, riders must meet the eligibility requirements for the USIHC National Team on the January 1st or June 1st deadlines.
