Today we went to Melgerðismelar to compete at the Bæjarkeppni that is held every year. The weather was ok. but way to few came to compete. However I and the girls Anna and Auður went all with new horses. I rode my son new horse Blær for the first time and he was in competition for his first time also. Anna rode her young and promising mare Gola and Auður her rode her new horse Hrólfur that she likes so much. Tomorrow we will go to Akureyri to hand over Minning from Naustum that we sold yesterday.

The video I took of Þrístikla at the breeding show is up now and also video I took of Auður horse, Hrólfur , rider her father, sometime in July before he left and came back yesterday. Auður fell in love with Hrólfur when he came here for sale process ( pictures and video ) but we had to let him go and than yesterday her dream came true and we where able to buy him.

Now there are 4 new horses at Hólakot. We bought 50% in Maístjarna with our friends at farm Hrafnagil. Maístjarna is already with Hófur and they will have the first foal from her. Than my son has bought himself a riding horse, named Blær and he also invested in a young beautiful and promising mare called Viðja . Than last but not least Auður bought her dream horse, Hrólfur . He is fantastic and they will be great couple I can say. These pictures I took of them on there first riding trip together today and they are perfect match and good friends already.

These pictures Sabine send me of Randalín that we once owned. She came her with her boyfriend visiting us and rode with my friend Unni because we where doing hay all day.

Now all of our mares are back home pregnant with stallions but we havent checked Þota and Skíma ( both with our Hófur ) or Dúdda and Jörp    ( both with our Dalur ) but Þota and Skíma will be checked on Tuesday but we will leave Jörp and Dúdda be until sometime in September. If you look at our mares you can see with each mare where they have bin but the stallions we have used this year are: Dalur from Hólakot, Hófur from Varmalæk, Glymur from Innri-Skeljarbrekka, Kvistur from Skagaströnd, Hugi from Hafsteinsstaðir, Kiljan and Tristan from Árgerði, Gígjar from Auðsholtshjáleiga, Asi from Lundum, Kapall from Komma, Hlekkur from Lækjarmót, Bragi from Kópavogur, Dósent from Brún and Ómur from Kvistum. Than we rented both Glíma and Von  and Glíma went to Álfur from Selfoss and Von is with Fengur from Sauðárkrókur. Big competition is held at Melgerðismelar this weekend and all of the girls are going to compete but the weather is not very nice at the moment and will not be over the weekend either, so not so exiting. Than yesterday Auðbjörn was kicked by a young horse that came here in training,  and I drove him to the hospital today and now he is on crutches. I have to work at the competition at least something tomorrow. School will start next week and Anna and María have bought their school stuff and are both ready for new school year. Auður has to wait another year but wanted a school bag as well. Still few things are left to do before the faull and winter will come.Few pictures I found randome in my pictures album.

Þrístikla was shown on Wednesday by Auðbjörn and it went ok. She got 7.91 for comformation and 7.60 and total score 7.72 She is 4 gaited and she got 8.5 for trot and willingness and back and croup, proportions and hooves. Þrístikla will be ridden this winter and we aim on showing her again and hoping for some 9 in riding.  I took video of her at the breeding show that I will put out with her assestment as soon as possible.

New mare for sale check here and look at Maístjarna. Today Þrístikla will be shown at a breeding show and we are hopeful but we will see what will happen.

MAÍSTJARNA IS SOLD

We are back ! We came home last night even though the original plan was to come home today, but Anna started to throw up and the weather was not so nice so we just packed our things and drove home. We had wonderful time and parked our trailer at Stóra-Sandfell where they have good camping area in between trees in there forest. Stóra-Sandfell is only 16 km away from Egilsstaðir so if you are in the area looking for a camping place, check this out. I didnt take many pictures and the only pictures  took where of Kárahnjúkar and I think the pictures " say it all ".

Back to horses. Ariane and Tobias that  bought Kofri from us send us these pictures of him and this they wrote :

" Today we took pictures of KoFrieS! Here I have a few for you. :-)

He is just a great horse, makes it very fun and is very pretty! Hopefully Orion comes after his father. "

They bought Óríon and he is after Kofri and Blesa .

Two new sale horses are out on my page now, Birta and Spilling.  I and Anna Kristín went out for a ride in this beautiful warm weather we had here today and Anna was riding her mare Gola for the second time and she is so very nice.  I rode my horses, Glæsir , Gróði and Bratti. And because Anna only went for two rides she snapped my camera and took pictures of me riding Bratti.

Than after this nice riding we had we went for a walk into the hills to look at the twins and the few other horses that are with them.  After little while we found them but first I want to show the nice seenary we had on the first hill closest to home.

You see Hólakot farm and down Eyjafjörður.

Than here few pictures of the horses.

Take a look at new pictures of Sæludís taken few days ago when she and her mother came home from stallion Asi from Lundum and ofcourse Sveifla is pregnant.

Yesterday we did sonar test here many mares and again Dalur has 100% so with these 8 yesterday they are 14 total he has served now and 3 are with him still, our two oldys, Dúdda and Jörp and than Sif only recently went to him. We are not going to sonar test Dúdd and jörp until end of August or in September so it will be more easy to see for the vet, when it is often more difficult with older mares. They have not bin checked so far. It is possible to bring mares to Dalur at any time and they can come with foal by there side and not, and it docent matter if you have just bin using them as riding mares either, everything is welcome and he dose not unwelcome any of them ! From Hófur we could confirm 12 mares so far so that is also a good outcome. Because we where so busy I didnt have the time to put out the pictures I took of my kids and my cousins when tehy where leaving and coming back from a riding trip day before yesterday. But here they are. And remember if you put your arrow over all our pictures you get text and explanation with each photo. 

I think the story and the pictures speaks for it selfs when I say these horses are perfect and most valable I think.

Tomorrow I am going to my home town not so far away from here, Dalvík, to meet my class mates from school and have some fun day with them and that will be so nice ;)
