2024 Highlights ✨
We’re excited to shine a spotlight on Kentigern Octavo, who set out with a goal last year to make it onto the national ranking list—and he didn’t just make it, he earned 1st place in V5!
The USIHC National Ranking is a points-based system that ranks riders in different Icelandic horse competition classes across the United States. It is managed by the United States Icelandic Horse Congress (USIHC) and includes results from sanctioned competitions throughout the year.
Riders earn points based on their performance in various disciplines, such as tölt, four-gait, and five-gait tests, and are ranked accordingly. The rankings help track competitive progress, recognize top riders, and provide a benchmark for those striving to improve.
Achieving 1st place in a ranking class, like V5, means consistently strong performances across competitions—an impressive accomplishment!
With his talented mare and , Kentigern’s hard work and dedication truly paid off. We couldn’t be prouder of his accomplishments and the partnership he’s built with these amazing horses.
Congratulations, Kentigern! We can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store for you!
