Blönduós
föstudagur, 15 ágúst 2008

Again we went to Blönduós to pick up our mares, Rut, Jódís og Þota, and we came a little late so we only saw 2 stallions that where entering the track. One of this stallion was Fengur from Sauðárkrókur and Anna Kristín owns a mare after him, Gola. The other stallion was after a stallion we much like, Parker from Sólheimar and his name is Prímus. I took few pictures of Fengur to show Anna and I will put them here as well.

We went to Blönduós today to watch our mares Þota and Jódís being shown at a breeding show. We thought they did well but the judges did not think so. Þota did though surprise us on high score for combination. They can still rais their score on Friday and ofcourse we will show them again next spring. Rider was and is Tryggvi Björnsson. We will put out their judgement with their catagory. Here are pictures taken today in the sun at Blönduós.

Randver
föstudagur, 08 ágúst 2008

Yesterday  a horse threw Auðbjörn off so he broke a bone in his right hand ( he is left handed ) so now he is out of the pictures in riding and showing horses this month. The plan was to show few mares but now we are only going to show possibly 3 mares at least we drove them to Blönduós to Tryggvi Björnsson for him to show them if he thinks they are ready. The mares are Rut, Jódís and Þota and the other ones thet we planned on showing like Gusa ad Næla will have to wait until next spring. We have now sold Randver and yesterday I had to go and take him from all his mares and have him vet checked. I was a little nervus on doing this on my own, but knowing Randver it was a pice of cake. He was so calm and nice and didnt make a sound even though I just took him from over 20 mares. This is a horse we will always remember and have big respect for as well. Back on sale is Viska Þokki daughter because of unsurtent buyer that we had her reserved for. So if you want a potential breeding/riding/competition mare maybe Viska is what you want. Foals after Askur are also for sale, many good colors and they are all looking very well. Wery long and well raised neck and slim body. Good colors. The former owner and breeder told me last night that when Askur was a foal he one this foal competition in Skagafjörður and than also last winter a 2 year old son of Askur one this competition between 1-4 year old youngsters. So his offsprings are looking very good and promising as himself. Here are pictures of few of his offsprings.

Family day.....
miðvikudagur, 06 ágúst 2008

Early this summer María mentioned to us if we could do or have alike a  "family riding day" and today we did that. First I drove with the girls, Anna and Auður down to the river on our field and we made this small fence for the horses to stay in while we would eat our lunch. Than we got ready and everyone had their on horse and rode alone. Auðbjörn was on Selur, María was on Stormur, Anna Kristín was on Oddur, Auður Karen was on Sókrates, Fia was on Sprettur and I rode my Glæsir. But the most exiting part for the girls was to ride across the river and back. I staid behind to take pictures but not on my usual big camera, I took the small one. After that we rode just a little more and let the horses in the fence we made earliere and ate our lunch.

Look at new pictures of Stilling, under hryssur/mares, that I took before we let her go free up in the mountain, she is in foal with Randver now. Drottning is sold and we also have a new mare Heljarþröm from Ytri-Hofdalir , after Skorri from Gunnarsholt and Lísa from kot, and she has given four 1. price mares already. Soon I will take pictures of her and put her on out page and than we also got Sæla mothers back , Birta from Hraukbæ born 1987, and she is as well in the mountains now in foal with Askur. I dont have any pictures of her yet. I will add her on my page soon under " hryssur/mares " and Heljarþröm will be under " unghryssur/young mares "

audurmaria_and_anna.jpgmaria_anna_and_audur.jpgthe_girls_and_our_fellihysi.jpg

We came home last night and we had a wonderful time with our kids at Ásbyrgi on a camping place. The weather was just awesome, over 20+ and than some. So now it is just teh usual thing to attend to our horses and start training again, but Hilde and Fia where here while we went away for few days. Than Hilde went home to Norway this morning ( but flew from Akureyri last night ) and she wont be back until the 18th of August. We have decided to sell few mares that are not much trained but ridden though on a very faire and low price, email us about them.
