SE2007207365 – Isadora fra Karlsro
Red dun (6400), (EeAaDdssCCf-), BLUP 115

 Isadora is a young breeding mare prospect out of the first prize winning Sunna fra Blikastöðum. Sunna scored 8.5 for tölt and trot and 9 for temperament and legs (quality) and looks beautiful with long well set neck and lots of mane and tail. She is after one of my favourite stallions Stígur fra Kjartansstöðum after legendary Terna fra Kirkjubæ  and Náttfari fra Ytra-Dalsgerði . He is father of the famous stallions like Odur and Adam and particularly recognized for being a strong breeder of  five great  and correct gaits. Terna is perhaps Icelands strongest breeder of great stallions including Stigur, Huginn, Tyvar, Trur, and Töfri!-and Nattfari after legendary  Sörli fra Sauðárkróki is father to numerous famous offspring. Nattfari got 9.08 for his riding skills and 10 for pace back in 1978 and has passed his enormous riding talent on to a lot of offspring. 

Isadora is daugther of Ísar fra Keldudal , one of the most promising young stallions outside Iceland today.  Ísar is very willing but with a sweet character and an incredible ability to relax when nothing is asked from him. He has great gaites scoring 8.61 total earlier this year with 9 for trot, pace, gallop, spirit and general impression and 8.5 for tölt! In addition he has a high breeding index (125) with very strong pedigree on both sides. Isar is out of the superb mare Ísold fra Keldudal following a long line of remarkable breeding mares including both Hrund fra Keldudal and Nös fra Stokkhólma. Isold is after Hrafn fra Holtsmúla and received honours award for her offspring at Landsmot this year (2006) and both Hrund and Nös have previously earned their honours award. The first five offspring of her daughter Hrund all received first prize. Isold’s grandmother Nös have given birth to eight (!) 1 prize winning offspring, becoming a breeding legend on Iceland. Isar’s father Keilir fra Miðsitju  won the Sleipnir Cup at this years Landsmot-given to the most successful stallion during a Landsmot year. Keilir’s mother is the famous Krafla fra Sauðárkróki and his father is one of Icelands most influential stallions: Ófeigur fra Flugumýri  followed by a long list of excellent stallions; Kolskeggur fra Flugumýri, Gustur fra Sauðárkróki and Sörli fra Sauðárkróki to mention a few, as well as the honours award winning  breeding mares; Perla fra Reykjum, Fluga fra Sauðárkróki and Síða fra Sauðárkróki in addition to the already mentioned Krafla. 

Isadora has a beautiful wll set neck and extraordinary movements –being very well developed for her young age. I fell for this and the combination of Isar and Stigur that should throw five very strong gaits that I am after in my breeding. Thanks to Thorvald and Anna-Lena at Knalta islandshestar for letting me buy this young and talented prospect.
