Gimli Icelandic Horses is the name of our horse stables that we ​share here in the fields of West Zealand. We have both had ​Icelandic horses for many, many years now and have collected a few ​over the years, both at home and in Iceland. We share a passion for ​the Icelandic horse, for breeding fine horses, for riding horses at all ​levels and for educating both horse and rider to the level that suits ​them best.

In the Netherlands (where we both come from) Kimbel has had a ​riding school and training and sales stable with only Icelandic ​horses and she has more than 20 years of experience in training & ​teaching. Romi has taken the judge programme under DI's auspices ​and has been a judge for a few years. Unfortunately, due to lack of ​time, she can no longer devote her scarce time to it.

Gimli Islandsheste is a collaboration between Kimbel and Romi and ​is based at Romi's home in West Zealand. Here she has several ​hectares of grass for both horses and sheep, as well as a lunging ​round pen and small oval track for training and teaching. Kimbel ​and Romi share the stable name and have some horses in the ​community and some in individual ownership.

We have both worked a lot with heart rate monitors (both Polar and ​the new Hylofit) and heart rate training for horses and we are very ​interested in everything related to (re)training, endurance training ​and horse fitness in general. We have therefore gathered a number ​of products in our webshop Equinics.
