Askja at LM2014 We are proud breeders and owners of our Askja from Mykjunesi - IS2008286725. You can truly say that she is a special mare in our eyes. At Landsmót in Hella 2014 she score 8.72 for riding abilities - 9.5 for spirit, 9 for tölt, slow tempo tölt and pace. This spring she also got 9.5 for pace. Amazing individual with perfect spirit, good and clear gates as well much movements and charisma. This winter she was trained by Davíð and showed by his brother Siggi Matt.
Askja showed it right away as a youngster what she was capable of. Bylgja Gauksdóttir trained her the first two years and did a fantastic job like she always does. They qualified at LM2012 in Reykjavík and participated in 4 years old class of mares. The Askja got 9 for pace, 8.5 for tölt and more trades. She reached good 1.price only 4 years old.

Now there is time to put Askja into breeding but this is bitter sweet as she is such a fantastic horse to train and be around in the stable. Davíð has often come home this year with a big big smile after riding our black queen. :) As well as she could be a good FIPO sport horse for F1, pace test, speed pace and so on. But we can´t wait to get an offspring of our Askja but she is pregnant with Ölnir from Akranes the winner of 5 years old stallions at LM2014. Exciting times ahead with our favourite Askja!
