Sea 2 Shining Sea is a yearlong virtual ride on Icelandic Horses. This 4,000 mile ‘ride’ takes you a tour of Icelandic Horse Farms in the USA. The ride begins on January 1, 2025 ending December 31, 2025. Hours may be logged beginning January 7, 2025. Each checkpoint will count for 330 miles or about 82 hours of riding.
Riders can participate as individuals or teams. All participants must be US Icelandic Horse Congress members throughout the ride to log their hours. Participants log their time riding which is converted to distance at 4 miles-per-hour. This is easier for everyone to record. If you are riding as part of a team you should log your individual time. The website credits your rides to the team you joined. Teams may have up to six riders.
Horses used in the ride must be Icelandic Horses, either fully registered or having obtained a participation number from USIHC after being DNA verified. Registered horses do not have to be registered in the United States, any FEIF member country’s registry or WorldFengur is acceptable.
The Sea 2 Shining Sea ride is for leisure riders. You participate by riding or driving your Icelandic horse however you like – if you are not being paid for the time. If a team would like to continue additional challenge they may continue logging hours beyond the 4,000 miles to see how far they can go!
