The photo competition winners

We are pleased to announce the winners of our Photo competition 2011. We must admit that it was very hard for us to pick the three best ones and we all had at least 30 photos that went into the finals. Thanks to all who participated - we were amazed by how many excellent photos we got. Please continue taking good pictures and we hope to see you next summer on another Íshestar tour - Einar, Steinunn and Axel Jón.

People´s choice award goes to Catharina Modahl-Nilsson for the sweet photo of her daughter watering the horse. They rode together on our Trail of Hope. Catharina will receive a little something from Íshestar.



The third place goes to Carla Blekking from Holland for her beautiful photo, taken on the Kjölur tour. This photo shows stunning landscape, beautiful colors and the movement of the horses towards the photographer. Carla wins an Íshestar fleece jacket from 66°N. Congratulation Carla!



The second place goes to Carl Hagerling from Sweden for his “artistic” photo. The movement in this photo is well preserved and shows the horse from a different angle. Carl participated in the Snæfellsnes Beach Ride in August. He wins an Íshestar jacket from Mountain Horse. Congratulation Carl!



The winner is……….Marianne Welch from USA for her charming photo of the young horse Gustur and his rider. Both horse and rider are relaxed and the picture shows trust between them. Good framed photo. Marianne rode on a special edition of our Diamond Circle in the North of Iceland. She wins a free 5-8 days riding tour... with Íshestar of her own choice. Congratulations Marianne and welcome back to Iceland!

Testimonials

I read in the brochure that security, quality and personal service have always been Íshestar´s trademarks and I must say after this tour that it couldn´t be more true! Staff that made us feel welcome and superb horses helped make this our best holiday ever. We will be back!
