We have taken our breeding mares to the following stallions this summer: Þruma frá Hólshúsum to Kvistur frá Skagaströnd Þula frá Neðra-Seli to Krákur frá Blesastöðum Vakning frá Ási to Fróði frá Staðartungu Garún frá Sauðárkróki to Glymur frá Innri-Skeljabrekku Fasta frá Hofi to Álfur frá Selfossi Glóð frá Árbæ to Hróður frá Refsstöðum Álaborg frá Feti to Hróður frá Refsstöðum Selma frá Sauðárkróki to Hákon frá Ragnheiðarstöðum Gnípa frá Hólum to Álfur frá Selfossi Hrund fra Arbæ to Álfur frá Selfossi (Birgitta and Anna Breeds her) Platina fra Holtsmula to Kvistur frá Skagaströnd |

Platina fra Holtsmula
was shown June 8 by Jacob Sigurdsson. She did well considering her
young age and went to 2 class overall (7.80). Platina has a very
special color being the only silver dapple Orri daugther, and most
likely she is also carrying the palmino gene! Thus with a very
strong pedigree she will become a very precious breeding mare. She
has big movements and lots of pace as well so she should be a shore
bet for first prize if shown again after gaining a year or two and
some more strength. I am considering to bring her home to Norway and
breed her myself, but I will sell her if I get the right of fer from the right person. She stands out from any crowd with her big white mane and silver dapple color-big with a long and good neck.    |

My precious Visa fra
Sundsberg that I bought as a 1 yrs old marefoal after having seen
her and her beautiful mother Vaka fra Österaker (later Sweden's WC
horse), was shown in Waangen June 9'th this year. She has been
trained by Vignir that also showed her and she really came through
for us scoring total 8.15 only 4 yrs old. Highest scoring 4 yrs old
mare in Sweden this year together with Birgitta's Gidja. And Visa
with blup 124 before the show proves to become an amazing five
gaiter-equally strong in all 5 gaits and with conformation score 4
yrs old of 8.26! Visa will stay in training by Vignir for another
year to be shown again and the taken to Garri fra Reykjavik if all
goes well. As I had hoped for Visa will become my core breeding mare
outside Iceland and I am very thankful to Vignir for successfully
training and showing her and to Birgitta for letting me buy this
precious foal in the first place and for our close collaboration and
great friendship ever since. We also hold several precious mares
together and will hopefully work even closer together in the future.     |

I have bought the last
half of my perhaps most precious breeding mare Alaborg fra Feti
(8.25 4 yrs old and 3 place at Landsmot) including her first
offspring Hamborg fra Feti (e. Stíganda frá Leysingjastöðum). She
looks very good and is currently in training by Elli and Vidja at
Langholt. This means that I own three offspring after Alaborg
(Hamborg (e Stigandi), Alvar( e Frakki) and Anna (e. Aron) enabeling
me to build this great breeding mare.   In addition I bought the last half of Fasta fra Hofi (8.16) from Jon and Eline. She looks like she will become a very strong breeder with good necks and strong riding qualities after her father Numi.I have currently two offspring after her; Fregn after Sær fra Bakkeroti and Frost after Krummi fra Blesastadir). Fasta is currently by Alfur. In addition Hannes, Inga and I have bought two beautiful daugther of the young promising stallion Hattur fra Thufum belonging to Mette Manseth and Gisli ( 8.44 6 yrs old). Both from Gudmundur at Saudakrokir. Hugmynd is after one of his best breeding mares Vidja fra Saudakroki (a. Otur and Ösp) and will be started by Mette Manset this winter. Röskva is after Sletta fra Saudakroki (a. Angi and Hervör)-so both comes with excellet pedigree. Hugmynd seems to have the better movements-but Röskva is particularely well built and aiming for a high conformation score.   In adition Brana fra Blesastadir will be stared by Elli and Vidja this winter. She belongs to Birgitta and myself and holds great promise.  Among the boys reykur is attending nuemrous mares, the same with Hakon, including our own Selma fra Saudakriki. Håkon, Prymur and Alvar will be stated next winter.      |

Our handsome palmino stallion after Askur and 1 prize Atli daugther Dama fra Örvik Ljomi fra Sundsberg has also been shown this summer. He got his first mares at Lian last year and Camilla Havik subsequently trained and shown him this summer. Ljomi got 8 for conformation but had a bad day at the riding field and was not able to show what he is good for (7.7), amongst others five clear good gaits including a strong pace. Ljomi will be further trained this winter by Sigurstein Sumarlien at Lian and will be shown again coming spring.    |

Katla fra Holtsmula, my
black beautiful orri daugther (8.28 in conformation) also came
through for us this year at Strömsholm, June 24, reaching 1 class.
She is after the 1 class Toppur daugther Vera fra Holtsmula (with 8.30 for riding score!) and thus has a very strong pedigree. Katla is now pregnant with Isar fra Keldudal ( to strengthen her trot and pace) and will be brought home to Norway and become our (Ivar Lindstad and myself) prime breeding mare at Torstad (www. torstad.no). I look forward to work closely with her and her offspring in the future and Katla will also become my daughter Camilla's riding/competition horse. Orri is the strongest stallion in the world with more than 100 1 prize offspring! The strongest of these offspring often show talent very early -and receive 9 for gallop 4 yrs old (a sign of willingness and later speed in gaits)- and our Katla is one of them. Thanks to Hinni for training her and letting me buy her, to Johanna for further developing this horse and to Vignir for the last training part and for showing her with such success. And Birgitta for taking Katla home to her farm until we can bring her to Norway (She is pregnant and I want the pregnancy to be settle for 60 days before such a long transport.    |

Garun fra Saudakroki
has been by Magnus and Svanny at Holtsmula. She has a lot of
willingness and is not yet strong enough to carry that through into
good gaits so she was shown only for conformation June 2 and got
8.34, with amazing 9 for neck and 8.5 for back and hooves. She is a
beauty! and the pedigree does'nt come much stronger with the
legendary Gnott fra Saudakroki as mother (mother to Galsi and Glymur
++) and Gari fra A as father-honors award winning stallion with the
highest conformation score on Iceland until now. We own Garun
together with Gudmundur at Saudakroki-that was not willing to sell
her to us altogether....Garun is for sale if the right buyer turns up-hopefully an experienced rider and serious breeder-she is first class breeding material!   |

Our "black beauty"
Linda fra Feti on Iceland after Sveinn Hervar went to 1 class
(8.04)as 4 gaiter with 9 for trot, spirit and general impression-on
a bad day...! Lindas mother Filipia fra Feti and inbred of Ofeigur fra Flugumuri got 8.24 in riding skills as 4 yrs old! so definately had inhereded Ofeigurs extreme riding talent and passed that on to Linda. Last time I saw Elli showing her to me (in april 09) she was going 9 in tölt and 9.5 in trot. Hannes has been competing on her in 4 gaits very successfully this summer/autumn and after a well deserved rest she will go back into training with Elli aiming at Landsmot next year. Together with our Hrodur daughter Sara fra Saudakroki, also competing with great success this summer with Inga in the saddle. I watched them coming third in A final in Sörlimot winning the slow tölt par of the competition -before famous riders like Siggi Mat. Linda will be shown among Sveinn Hervar's best offspring on next years Landsmot, like Sara did with Hrodur last year when he won the Sleipnir cup.    |

Results from our horses
being shown in breeding shows this spring: Gnipa fra Holum was shown by Thordur Thorgeirsson May 25 and received 1 prize for building 8.11, including 9.5 for hooves! and 2 prize for riding, overall 7.87. Gnipa is pregnant with Alfur fra Selfossi. gnipa is a very interesting breeding mare, big black and beautiful and with an extremely strong pedigree-both parents being Landsmot winners (mother is the Kolfinnur daughter Pula fra Holum that won Landsmot in 2000 with total score 8.46! and father is the famous Orri son Nagali fra Thufu with 8.44! as four gaiter in 2002, also doing great in competitions in Germany and foundation of the Kvistir breeding farm on Iceland. We are considering selling Gnipa if we get the right offer and the right person to buy her. She has big movements and strong positive willingness and is also very nice to handle on the ground (not unimportant when breeding her).Gnipa got a beautiful marefoal after Landsmot winner Stali fra Kjarri (total 8.76!) with exceptional movements; Gnott fra Hamarsey that could follow if the buyer wants to bring forward every offspring of his breeding mare to build her the proper way. Both Gnipa and Gnott is situated on Iceland on our farm there Hamarsey (ref. www. hamarsey.is)    |
