Our Breedingmare got awarded

Now at this time one year ago we where among 10 other farms nominated as breeders of the year... We got that honor to be awarded as “Breeders Of the year in IcELAnd” 2014.

We showed many breeding horses this year but not many from our own breeding. We showed three and was one of them awarded yesterday for being the highest 4 year old mare (Garún f. Garðshorni á Þelamörk) in our region by HEÞ (Hrossaræktarsamband Eyfirðinga- og Þingeyinga) the other one (Vissa f.Lambanesi) was also high judged but not born in this region, we where breeding in the west at the time she was born.

All together that four year old mare, Garún is among the highest three 4 year old mares that where showed this year in Iceland. To be able to be awarded breeder of the year in iceland you need to show at least 4 horses.. Maybe another day Winking We planed to put Garún to stallion but it didn´t work this time so she will be taken in for training around desember/januar and will probably be showed again.

Sheep Festival in the East

Last weekend we went to the east to sheep Festival last weekend. It was a great weekend with great people. There we brought two sheeps with us back home from Jói & Fjóla á Gunnarsstöðum to get new good blood into our herd.

Stallions used & sold

We brought some breeding mares to interesting stallions this year. We used Hersir f.Lambanesi, Skýr f.Skálakoti, Erill f.Einhamri & Jarl f.Höskuldsstöðum for example.

This Handsome Stallion jarl f.Höskuldsstöðum is one of the stallion we used this year for our highest judged mare (Vissa). We sold Jarl newly to Germany & wish new owner all the best with this great horse in the future....

Horse round-up


Laufskálarétt is horse-round up located in Skagafjörður. We went there not long time ago and bought our self a breeding mare from my cousin Jón í Neðri-Ási, that is actually where I (Birna) bought my first mare I planed to put into breeding Winking Great tour we went over there. We got one breeding mare, foal & a foal in the stomach of the breeding mare & had a great day & evening there. Always fun to do such unexpected things Winking




Nordic-Horse-Festival

I was looking through pictures/videos and found this nice video that was made last winter. This was a nice weekend we had here in the north and the first time we made some kind of a breeding show together with some horses out of our breeding Winking

It was very much fun for us. Vissa did not get foal last year so she was inside, Hersir fra Lambanesi was in training in the West & came over to partisipate on the stallionshow and then we took one young mare to just show a bit with them.
Hersir & Vissa are out of Elding f.Lambanesi, so they are brother & sister. Now Hersir is going this summer to Belgium and Vissa & Garún where both by stallion. So first and last time that those horses come together
Winking

Var að gramsa í tölvunni og fann þetta skemmtilega vídeo sem Drífa Gestsdóttir tók fyrir okkur sl. vetur..

Last winter we and other five farms in the north part of Iceland had a open day.
This was a interesting & good weekend and a good reason to come to the north and visit all of us Winking This was the first time this weekend took place here in the north & will hopefully be every year.
