After the great success of its first series of online talks with some “big names” from the world of Icelandic horses, bringing great expertise into the homes of participants and sharing very personal stories, EYJA continues with a new season this upcoming week. The first guest on April 11 will be Norwegian superstar Nils-Christian Larsen with a great variety of well-known personalities and topics to follow (see below). Every one of these talks consists of a two-part format: first EYJA’s Henning Drath will interview the guests about their own personal history and opinions on the overall subjects of their individual sessions, then the talk is opened up to all participants for Q&A, so everyone has a unique chance to ask the experts all they’ve ever wanted to talk to them about. Getting your ticket for the whole series is available here at 99 Euros (you will receive fresh Zoom login data 24h before every single event, and recordings of all sessions will be available to all registered participants afterwards as well), a single ticket for the session with Nils can be purchased here for 15 Euros.
