RESULTS: FINAL TOURNAMENT MEISTARADEILD LÍFLANDS 2025

The final tournament of Meistaradeild Líflands 2025 took place in a packed HorseDay Arena at Ingólfshvoll on Friday, April 4th. With the last points of the season up for grabs, the tension was undeniable as the nation's top riders took the stage. Competitions were held in Tölt T1 and Flying Pace through the arena, with outcomes undecided until the final sprints of the evening.​​

TÖLT: ÁSMUNDUR AND HLÖKK CLAIM VICTORY WITH A MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE

Ásmundur Ernir Snorrason and Hlökk frá Strandarhöfði captivated both judges and spectators with a powerful and elegant performance. They secured a convincing win in the tölt with a score of 9.06, earning valuable points in the individual competition. Notably, this is the highest score ever awarded in Tölt in the history of Meistaradeild. In second place were Þorgeir Ólafsson and Aspar frá Hjarðartúni, delivering an impressive performance in their first competition with a score of 8.61. Third place went to Gústaf Ásgeir Hinriksson on the graceful Assa frá Miðhúsum, scoring 8.44. These outstanding tölt horses and riders truly set the tone for the evening.​
Team Sumarliðabær won the team competition in Tölt, leading the overall team standings with 290 points before the pace race. Hjarðartún held second place with 280.5 points, and Top Reiter was in third with 257 points.

In the individual standings, Ásmundur Ernir reclaimed the top spot with 51 points. Þorgeir was in second place with 43.5 points, and Eyrún Ýr, who led before the evening, moved to third place. With such close margins in both the individual and team competitions, it was clear that strong performances in the Flying Pace would determine the ultimate winners of Meistaradeild Líflands 2025.​​

FLYING PACE: KONRÁÐ VALUR AND KASTOR SPEED TO VICTORY

In the Flying Pace, split seconds separated the top riders. Konráð Valur Sveinsson on Kastor frá Garðshorni á Þelamörk raced across the finish line with a time of 5.64 seconds, securing the win. His teammates followed closely, with Eyrún Ýr Pálsdóttir and Friðsemd frá Kópavogi in second place at 5.76 seconds, and Árni Björn Pálsson and Ögri frá Horni I in third at 5.85 seconds. Topriter won the team competition in flying pace with full house or 60 points!

INDIVIDUAL COMPETITION 2025

After the Flying Pace, anticipation was high as the points were tallied to see if the standings would shift. Ásmundur, who had led before the pace race, unfortunately did not score in the flying pace, which proved costly. With Eyrún's excellent performance in the pace race, earning her 10 points, she secured the overall individual victory with 53 points, becoming the champion of Meistaradeild Líflands 2025. Eyrún Ýr had a fantastic and consistent season, earning points in all but one event. Just two points behind her was Ásmundur Ernir with 51 points. Ásmundur also had a successful season with the most wins—three in total—but not scoring in any pace events proved costly. Only half a point behind Ásmundur was Þorgeir Ólafsson with 50.5 points, rounding out the top three in the individual competition after an intensely competitive season.​

TEAM COMPETITION 2025

The team competition in Meistaradeild Líflands 2025 was fiercely contested throughout the season, with the final outcomes decided at the last tournament. After an exhilarating evening filled with suspense, the riders from Sumarliðabær secured the team victory with 323 points. The competition was so tight that only six points separated them from the next team, Topreiter, who made a strong showing in the Flying Pace with maximum points but ultimately fell short. Hjarðartún closely followed in third place with 313.5 points, maintaining pressure on the top spots until the end. The strength, focus, and team work of the Sumarliðabær team made the crucial difference. They demonstrated consistency throughout the season and rose to the occasion when it mattered most, clinching the victory.


Meistaradeild Líflands 2025 concluded with a bang - a full house, electrifying atmosphere, and riders giving their all and showing once again that Meistaradeild is one of the strongest competitions in the Icelandic horse world today. Now begins the anticipation for the next season, and it will be hard to top the energy, boldness, and team spirit we’ve witnessed throughout this winter.

The Meistaradeild board would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the riders, team owners, sponsors, and not least the volunteers who made this season possible. None of this would have happened without you!

Finally, we congratulate all riders and team owners on their achievements this season.

Thank you from all of us.
