![]() Þjórsá in February 2012 Þjórsá is a young mare turning four this summer, so born 2008. She is after Föl from Ás II which has bloodline out of Feykir from Hafsteinsstaðir, sheá gets her grey color from him. Þjórsá´s father is Jakob from Árbær, a promising stallion after Aron from Strandarhöfuð. Þjórsá is turning out to be a little star - at least our little star. We are excited to watch her and she how she progresses. She has a fantastic tölt and good balance for a such a young horse, as well as high movements. At the moments she is trained as a fourgater but we thank she has a pace. HERE is a short video taken in April. Þjórsá is now trained for 4 months by her trainer Bylgja Gauksdóttir which is doing a great job with her!! Add Comment Last month we went and took a look at our young stallion, Dagfari from Eyland which is turning four years old this summer. He looks great and has much softness and very high leg actions. He seems to take very much after his mother, Vera from Ingólfshvoli which was a high spirited mare with 9 for tölt and spirit. One of Rut´s favorite to ride! Endless power and speed in all gates. Our impression is that Dagfari will be a really good competition horse and we are excited for the upcoming years with him! But for now we are aiming towards a breeding show this spring or summer. The pictures are taken in March 2012. Dagfari has been broken in and trained very well by Bylgja Gauksdóttir which is also the rider on the photos. The promising Askja.. 03/22/2012
![]() Askja in march 2012 Askja from Mykjunes is a promising youngster after Akkur from Brautarholt and our 1.price mare, Elja from Þingeyrar. We are very impressed by Askja! She shows all gates, is very cooperative and sweet but has much power. She is only turning four next spring but has the character of a much older and mature horse. We have high expectations for Askja! The pictures is taken in March 2012 after only three months of training. Stallion speculations.. 03/02/2012

Winter wonder land...! 01/24/2012
![]() Tími after Trúr and Dögg Now we have had snow for two month straight.. Very cosy but as we often have wind here in Iceland, snow storm is not a rare thing! As I write this we have a big snow storm! Due to this we started to give hey to the horses at the field much sooner than usually and took the foals from their moms in the beginning of January! They are now in a "foal upbringing" at Hrafnkellstaðir where Jóhanna and Haraldur spoil them rotten :) Most of our horses are getting into shape. We have many young horses this winter. The princess in the stable is Hátíð from Fellskoti, our 1.price Aronsdaughter and younger sister of Hnokki from Fellskot. The king of the stable is defiantly Boði from Sauðárkróki, our fourgater.. he starts very good and that gives great prospect for the upcoming year - hope we have more time for competitions this year than last! The young horses, now going on forth and fifth year are very exciting. The siblings Tími and Hrafnkatla from Mykjunes are starting well, their father is Trúr from Auðsholtshjáleiga. Then we have the youngsters (3 years) after Akkur from Brautarholt, Álfur from Selfoss, Aron from Strandarhjáleiga and Jakob from Árbæ. They all start well but we are especially fond of our Askja after Akkur and the first price mare Askja from Þingeyrar. You can read more about the 2008 vintage HERE. The spring is coming.. or what??! 03/14/2011
![]() Hnáta from Hábær There was nothing that reminded us that the spring is coming last weekend in Eyland.. except our BIG pregnant mares. Then we realized that there is only one and a half month until we will get our first foals in Eyland! And it is still snow and frost here in Iceland! Our first price princesses Hnáta from Hábær and Spes from Stóra-Hof will be first to give birth to their foals. And if our calculations are right, they are due in the first days of Mai. Hmmmm the time flies, it is like yesterday we were picking them up from the stallions and now it is time again to pick stallions for the again. We will get many foals this summer, in total eight foals - six after 1.price mares!! So we are looking forward to the spring! On the picture is Hnáta from Hábær. She is VERY pregnant these days and is due on 1st of May! We are very excited to see her first foal but Hnáta is a fantastic mare with 9.5 for trot and 9 for tölt, spirit, form under rider, gallop and chanter! The amazing Byr! 02/16/2011
![]() Byr from Mykjunes II Byr is getting in to good shape after short winter training. Byr has amazing elements.. Words that pop in to our mind are; big movement, soft gates and a gorgeous, stunning stallion!! Byr has something extra..
Byr is after Kjarkur from Egilsstaðabær and Dögg from Dalbær. Dögg is after Trostan from Kjartansstaðir and the Náttfari daugter, Dóttla from Stóra-Hof. The owners and breeders of Byr are Davíðs parents, Matthías and Selma. Byr has received 8.41 for confirmation and will be shown in a full elevation next spring. The plan was to show him last spring but due to the flue we had to cancel that. But Byr wasn´t bored last summer, he covered around 45 mares and of them about half are 1.price mares! We are very happy and grateful how many brought fantastic mares to Byr last summer. We are very excited to see the foals next summer! This picture was taken some weeks ago.
