The document provides updates from several equestrian organizations: 1) FEIF and Mustad announce a new partnership to improve hoof care for Icelandic horses, including developing a new horseshoe and organizing an educational seminar. 2) Registration is complete for the 2013 World Championships in Berlin, with 163 participants across several competitions and 44 horses in the breeding show. 3) Team rosters and participants are provided for several countries competing in the World Championships, including defending champions and reserve riders.

1. Please find below the latest news from FEIF, the International Federation of Icelandic
Horse Associations. FEIF is bringing people together in their passion for the Icelandic
horse. More information can be found on our website: www.feif.org . For mobile users:
m.feif.org .
FEIF and Mustad
FEIF and Mustad are very pleased to announce a partnership
between these two organisations with the purpose to improve
hoofcare for the Icelandic horse.
Mustad will financially support and assist FEIF with advice
and recommendations concerning scientific and commercial
aspects; for the better of the Icelandic horse.
Mustad continuously searches for improvements to provide
better hoofcare for all horses. As Icelandic horses are such a
breed of their own with very specific hoof-features, Mustad
has developed a new horse shoe for Icelandic horses. This shoe is explicitly produced
for Icelandic horses to provide comfort and support for the horse. The Mustad DM IS
shoe does meet the specifications set out in FIPO and FIZO.
Therefore FEIF recommends the horse shoe: Mustad DM IS.
FEIF and Mustad will also join forces by organizing a seminar that will take place in
2014 or 2105 with the main topic: shoeing Icelandic horses. The findings of the FEIF
HOOF STUDY will be addressed during this seminar.
The Board of FEIF are very pleased with this partnership, and we are very much looking
forward to the cooperation with Mustad.
Mustad will also be present in the exhibition area at the World Championships 2013 in
Berlin.
