Sporthestar do take horses in for training. The trainers at Sporthestar are graduated from the trainer association (FT) and/or educated from the Icelandic Equestrian College in Hólar. Each horse is trained individually with horse friendly training methods.
We take in horses for advanced training
.
Áframhaldandi vinna með hest fer eftir því hvort verið sé að stefna með hrossið á kynbótasýningu að vori, keppni og/eða til að eiga góðan og þjálan útreiðarhest. Áframhaldandi þjálfun felst í vinnu við að bæta og samhæfa skilning fyrir ábendingum knapans. Bæta gangtegundir og auka lið- og léttleika hestsins.
We take in youngsters and work on respect, trust, teach them to be caught, being lead. With older we do more advanced work.
Í fortamningarferlinu eru hross á aldrinum 1-4 vetra undirbúin undir áframhaldandi tamningu. Unnið er með að hrossið öðlist virðingu og traust gagnvart manninum, læri að teymast og hægt sé að taka upp fætur. Því eldra sem hrossið er því meira bætist við í námsferlinu.
We brake in young horses.
Í frumtamningarferlinu er haldið áfram að vinna í að traust og virðing sé milli manns og hests. Hestur er vanin á að bera hnakk, beisli, teymdur, sest í hnakkk, járnaður og riðið. Hversu hratt hestur lærir fer eftir einstaklingnum hverju sinni sem og hefur áhrif hvort hestur hefur eitthvað verið meðhöndlaður eða ekki.
We have space for 30 horses inside our stable in Garðshorn á Þelamörk. Mostly one horse in each box so each horse can have exactly what he needs and will not get bothered from other horse by eating or relaxing.

Gunni the owner putted a pinto mare that is Svikahrappur´s mom together with Glymur and wanted to have silverdapple pinto mare. But.... what out of it came was this black stallion. The meaning of svikahrappur is that he is a cheater, because he cheated on color and of a gender.

One of a favorite horse...Birna went with Þengill to the 3rd. year in Hólar (ridingteacherlevel). He did very well there and also on the competition she went on with him. In the beginning of the winter he one morning was very strange. To make a long story short he had worms in his head what is very rare. A mare kicked teeth out of him out on the fields and sometime after that worms from the ground got up to his head. So he had to be put down to early...
