What is most important for you in training?

It’s of course different between horses and on what stages they are in training but I focus a lot on forward thinking and lightness.

Bruni frá Hafsteinsstöðum, memorable horse that I competed on and won Landsmót 2011 in the young rider class.

Who is your biggest inspiration among other riders or teachers? There are many good riders that are a good inspiration to me but the last years I have been going regularly to clinics with Julio Borba and each time I get super inspired by him.

It is hard to name just one favorite book but Balancing act is a really good book to look into regularly.
