The Fine Print

• Participants must be USIHC members throughout the entire program.
• Horses must be Icelandic horses, registered with a FEIF registry or DNA Verified through USIHC cooperation with UC Davis (available January 1, 2021).
• Horses need not be owned by the participants.
• Each member can only enter once.
• Members participate as individuals or in teams.  Teams can only have a maximum of 6 riders.  Regional clubs may have more than one team.
• Once participants join a team they must remain with the group for the rest of the ride.  Changing teams is not allowed mid-ride.
• Logged time transfers if participants join a team.
• Participants may start any time during the ride.
• Progress is logged in hours ridden and converted to distances using a 4 MPH conversion.
• Paid riding time is not eligible.
• Participants must log their hours by logging into www.icelandics.org with your USIHC Member login, select the “Ride” tab to find Sea 2 Shining Sea Ride. Hours must be entered in decimal format and you can log hours weekly or daily, the new week begins on 12:00 AM Wednesday Eastern and ends Tuesday at 11:59 PM Eastern.  If you accidentally log hours incorrectly you can log negative hours (ex: -2.5) to adjust your hours.
• Participants must record hours weekly by Tuesday 11:59 PM (ET).  Failure to record, results in lost hours.
• Participants submitting more than 20 hours for a week, must provide details for the long hours by e-mailing s2ss@icelandics.org.
• Rider of the Month - All riders participating in the Sea 2 Shining Sea program for 2021 season have agreed to have their names put in a hat for a random drawing to determine Rider of the Month.  Each month a different name will be drawn.  A write-up of the Rider of the Month will go in The Icelandic Horse Quarterly.  This is to help the Sea 2 Shining Sea participants get to know each other better.
