Congratulations to Dynjandi frá Dalvík and his owners Will and Ásta Covert on the awarding of the first ever Diamond level Lifetime Achievement Medals in Four Gait and Tolt (T1). Dynjandi and his rider Ásta represented the United States beautifully in both national and international level competition, including but certainly not limited to, earning a silver medal in Four Gait Combination and a bronze in Tolt T1 at the 2009 World Championships and topping the World Ranking list in 2012 in T1.

In order to earn a Diamond level USIHC Lifetime Achievement Award, a rider or horse must have earned a score above 7.5 in a particular discipline at least 6 times. Dynjandi went far beyond this in his career, earning scores of up to 9.0 in T1.

A big congratulations to Dynjandi, Ásta and Will on this spectacular achievement.
