The Tölt Tales – Details, episodes & analysis

We managed to spend some time with Elina Enzian, one more amazing person gravitating around our favorite horses. Elina is helping people all over Sweden with loading and help owners to change behavior of their horses.

We had a lot of fun of getting to know more Elina and her background, her technique as well as her passion for the icelandic horses.

For out latest episode, we visited Nils Christian Larsen, in the middle of Jutland near Herning, where he showed us around his amazing establishment Kronholt. Nils is a professional rider, trainer and colour breeder of Icelandic horse, but also has a passion for "big horses" and is an educated chef.

We had the pleasure to ask him about the nickname "Mr.10", being a member of the norwegian national team and that learning is a journey.

Come and join us!

For the last episode of our 1st season we welcome our first scientist. Since the creation of this podcast we wanted to invite people beyond skilled riders; so we talked with Linda Andersson, a horse nerd and veterinarian at Saxtorp Hästklinik, and with Zola Runsten, a farrier specialised in Icelandic horses.

In this episode we now talk with Heiðrún, our first scientist focused on genetics behind the gaits of Icelandic horses. She recently passed her doctoral thesis at SLU on genetic regulation of ability and quality of gaits in Icelandic horses, but listen to her she will explain that better!!

Here the link to her paper:
