Óskum gleðilegra jóla og farsældar á komandi ári


God Jul Och Ett Gott Nytt År God Jul, Gledelig Jul Hyvaa joulua Gledhilig jol og eydnurikt nyggjar! Merry Christmas Glædelig Jul Ætla reyna breyta út af vananum og gera smá jólakort. Hér kemur jólakortið í ár í aðeins öðruvísi útgáfu en vant er. Endilega horfið á videoið hér að neðan og Gleðileg jól.



Á þessum tíma fyrir ári vorum við á fullu að byggja upp hesthúsið sem hafði verið notað sem svínahús áður. Það var ansi mikil vinna og komu margir góðir að við uppbygginguna sem er þó ekki lokið að fullu, þó komin ansi góð mynd á það. Sjá myndir af nýja hesthúsinu að Stafholtsveggjum :)

Í ár hafa Vestlendingar tekið mikið að sér og verður komandi ár líklega viðburðarríkt fyrir okkur Vestlendinga. En fyrir þá sem ekki vita þá verður næsta sumar fjórðungsmót á Kaldármelum. Húnvetningum og Skagfirðingum verður boðið að taka þátt í mótinu eins og á síðasta fjórðungsmót sem gerir umgjörðina og hestakostinn að sjálfsögðu öflugri fyrir vikið.

Ekki nóg með að Vestlendingar hafi tekið að sér að halda fjórðungsmót, heldur tóku hestamannafélögið Faxi í samstarfi við hestamannafélagið Skugga að sér að halda Íslandsmót. Mikið, skemmtilegt og óvenjulegt sumar fyrir höndum því mörg ár eru liðin frá því að íslandsmót hefur verið haldið á Vesturlandi. Lít ég á þetta sem tækifæri fyrir okkur Vestlendinga að vinna vel að því að byggja upp öflugt og gott framtíðarkeppnissvæði, þannig nú er bara að spíta í lófana og....

Hvetjum sem flesta sem eiga áhugaverð hross út í haga að taka þau inn, koma þeim í þjálfun eða í form og mæta sterk til leiks á komandi sumri !!! Þannig að mót sumarsins verði sem glæsilegust og sýni allan þann glæsilega hestakost sem í boði er.

Good traininghorses

Through the years we have had some very nice and intresting horses, I´ve put pictures of some of them and hopefully I´ll have time soon to put in some more of them.
22.des

Styttist í jólin... Beautiful sunrise in the morning.....

Sólarupprásin að Stafholtsveggjum var falleg í morgunsárið.

The horses we have been training lately or are in training are for example out of Sveinn Hervar f.Þúfu, Glymur f.Flekkudal, Óm f.Kirkjuferjuhjáleigu, Þokki f.Kýrholti, Tígull f.Gígjarhóli, Forseti f.Vorsabæ, Kiljan f.Steinnesi, Dynur f.Hvammi, Baugur f.Víðinesi, Sólbjart f.Flekkudal, Alur and Auð f. Lundum, Dofra f.Steinnesi and some more... Two daughter´s of Dofri had both some things that remined on him.




On the picture is Agnar and Dofri f.Steinnesi in group of four year old stallions on a breedingshow in Kaldármelar...
Stafholtsveggir 2 is only bit more tha an hour drive from Reykjavík, don´t hasitate to contact if you are looking for a horse to buy or you want us to help you in some way

Finally homepage again !!

Our website has been under construction. Now finally I´ll be able to do something. I´ll put in pictures and infos on other places at our website step by step. So please have a look later.

It is always nice to see horses that we have been training are doing well after they get a new owner. One of them is Hrímnir f.Ósi. We had Hrímnir in training when he was four and five years old. You could then really she what a genious this horse was. He did well at his first breedingshow but after the second year when he was showed in group of five year old stallions he got more strength to do more and ended up with great notes in breeding...

9,5- 9,5- 5- 9- 9- 9- 8,5 = 8,49 for gaits.

This picture is taken when Hrímnir got those notes only five years old. Rider is Agnar Þór Magnússon. .

Two years later Hrímnir was in A-finals in B-flokkur in landsmót. And became a icelandic champion in fourgait.




Our site has been down for a while. But now it is fixed again and news can start to fload ;)

We have been braking in young horses, working with some older ones, taking hair of the sheeps, training dogs, writing articles, teaching our young girl, selling horses and so on.

We sold our young four year old stallion Aragon f. Lambanesi. Aragon is very promising young stallion that wil probably and hopefully be showed again both in breeding and for competitions. Aragon will fly to Germany tomorrow i think. We congratulate new owners with this great horse!

We took our 3year old stallions for only month now, and we look very much forward to take them in again. We have one son of Elding f.Lambanesi and Forseti f.Vorsabæ, one son of Kiljan f.Steinnesi and Sveifla f.Lambanesi and one out of Glampi f.Vatnsleysu son and HöfðaGusts daughter.

This picture is of our young stallion out of Elding and Forseti. The picture was taken when he was two year old.



We have started with our young ones and one is from our Elding f.Lambanesi and Forseti f.Vorsabæ 2. The main reason why we used Forseti f.Vorsabæ three years ago is because of three mares we had that year in training. All of those mares got 1.prise and went to Landsmót that year. Two of them here above are Hylling f.Flekkudal, picture is taken when she was 5 year old in A-finals in icelandic championship. The other one is Hilda f.Bjarnarhöfn that was showed again and got at her last breedingshow 8,44 for building and 8,60 for gaits, therefrom she got 9 for pace and 9 for temprament. So now it is intresting to see what we will have;)
Our stallion Aragon f.Lambanesi got 1.prise for gaits 4 year old ;) He got 8,14 for gaits and total 7,99. Great gaits! A future competitionhorse in fivegait. Judges notes for Aragon´s ridingabilities where: Good spped, high action, log strides, eager, enthusiastic and big movements.
This summer was landsmót in Reykjavík. It was a great competition in all ways :) We went there with some horses and they did pretty good. Like this mare here beside, Nótt f.Ósi was in the breedingshow in group of 5 year old mares and got two times 9 in for her ridingabilities :)
Hrói f.Flekkudal, the gray one did well in landsmót in group of 4 year old stallions and ended in top 10 in Landsmót. After first breedingshow round last summer he and one another 4 year old stallion where the highest ones for gaits. He got 8,30 for gaits 8,5 for tölt, trot,canter,temprament,form under rider and slow tölt. Hrói is already sold :/ and will be missed in the stable.

Svikahrappur f. Borganesi, the black one was in group of 5 year stallion. He did very well and expressed himself well in landsmót

We went to a competition in Miðfossar and got some awards ;) One of the mare that we had with us to the competition was chosen from the judges to be the best mare on that competition. Those award are given after one of the judge try out some of the competitionhorses. This award is called Glettubikarinn.
Last year in februar this litle princess came to the world ;)
Last summer we moved from the stable Staðarhús what we have been renting over four years. Now we have our stable not far away in surrounding called Stafholtstungur since last summer. We have already changed a big part of it to horsestable, but it was a pigstable before.

I got graduatet from the Agricultural University of Iceland this year :) Many of us that graduated dressed up in the Icelandic national custume. So now I have a B.Sc. - degree in Agricultural Sciences.


Finally new homepage!!!
It will to beginn with be in international language and with the time in some other/s to.
