Sea 2 Shining Sea is a yearlong virtual ride on Icelandic Horses. This 5,000 mile ‘ride’ uses 20 checkpoints in 4 regions of the US starting January 1, 2021 ending December 31, 2021. Each checkpoint will count for 250 miles or 62.5 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 we will convert 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. We will take care of crediting your rides to the correct group. Teams can only have a maximum of six riders.
The horses used in the ride must be registered Icelandic Horses. They 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. The route is designed stage stop style. The checkpoints do not make one continuous trail but are actual places that you can go and ride your horse in the USA during the year 2021. Local clubs may host rides at some of the locations, these will be announced on the S2SS FB page and you are welcome to join!
Once the week is over, you need to start your hours at zero again. Please, do not carry hours forward between weeks. Since this ride is aimed at leisure activities, we expect your weekly total will be under 20 hours. If you have a big week, you will need to e-mail your hours to us with a short description of what you did during the week. Lastly, hours count when you are doing an activity (riding or driving) with your horse…not watching someone’s lesson or auditing a clinic. It is one on one with a horse.
