Bruno Podlech

Since the first Icelandic horses arrived on the continent in the fifties, they have taken the hearts of horse lovers by storm. Bruno Podlech (1949-2009) was connected to the horses from the island of fire and ice from the very beginning. The renowned breeder, farrier, IPZV Trainer A, breeding horse judge, and two-time World and Vice World Champion is considered an expert whose work shaped the handling of the Icelandic horse. Under his leadership, "Wiesenhof" developed into one of the leading stud farms for Icelandic horse breeding and training.
