Turning 60 is a milestone - let's celebrate with friends, family, and of course, our furry friends!

​Turning 60 is a milestone meant to be celebrated in grand style! It's a time to gather friends and family to recognize a life well-lived and the journey ahead.

​When you think of the last milestone birthday party you attended, a large, crowded reception area with many dressed up people likely comes to mind.

Well, our Steinunn does it differently!

For her 50th birthday, she rode across Iceland with friends and family, a journey that took 19 days, starting from Fontur Lighthouse on the Langanes Peninsula in northeast Iceland to Reykjanes Lighthouse in the southwest.

Making happy memoriesFor her 60th birthday, she had another plan! Being an avid supporter of the local riding club Sóti on the Álftanes peninsula, her beautiful home, she organized a special competition for "riders of the best age," which includes riders aged 60 and older and their grandchildren.

​On May 1st, which is also the official Icelandic day dedicated to the Icelandic Horse, and in beautiful spring weather, a cheerful crowd filled the competition area of Sóti Riding Club. They enjoyed light refreshments and cheered on the stately horsemen and their grandchildren. Happy faces could be seen everywhere, marking a great start to the upcoming competition season.

​Steinunn couldn’t have chosen a better way to celebrate her special day, and guests agreed this should become an annual event called “Pollamót,”where young and elderly come together to celebrate friendship and the Icelandic horse!Celebrating a 60th birthday is about enjoying every moment surrounded by those who mean the most to you. It’s a time to cherish each other and the love for our horses that binds us together.
