Selma fra Saudakroki has benn swimming
and walking on the treadmill for
2 weeks now. It did her well last year. We are still waiting
for her to
find pace-her full brother, the stallion Brjann fra
Saudakroki aslo took
some time finding it... Tölt is excellent and trot is also
improving so
she develops well -only 5 yrs old. She is now by Siggi Matt

training before spring shows...." |

26.02.08. Just came home from a great visit to Stockholm, Sweden,
following up on my horses there. Rune, Birgitta and Anna picked me
up at the airport and we drove straight to Johanna
and Vignir.Vignir showed us Isar and some of his early offsprings
that Birgitta bought on Iceland and later took
home. They are from not shown mothers with low BLUP and is picked to
get an idea about how strong a breeder Isar really is. With
his amazing pedigree we would think that he will become a strong
breeder as well as being a superb individual-but time will show if
we are right. Anyway, the young Isar daugthers
looked great and will hopefully be shown later this summer. My Visa
fra Sundsberg (BLUP 124), only three yrs old and also
after Isar looked great and will be started by Vignir and Johanna in
September. I am also taking my two 1 yrs old Isadora and Gullinn to
Vignir and Johanna to get an optimal upbringing
until they are ready to be started in 2-3 yrs time. My two stallion
prospects-Hugur now being castrated, looked great
as well. They have been sucessfully started by Johanna and Vignir
and are up for sale. I have decided not to keep stallions abroad-its
just too difficult . We also visited Susanna and family at Gröna
Gangen and looked at all their beautiful horses-many of which comes
from Holtsmula. I was fortunate to buy Platina fra
Holtsmula from Susanna a couple of years ago-she is now in training
at Iceland-looking good-so I am very thankful that
she trusted me to buy this promising youngster-only silver dapple
orri daugther!

28.01.08. Iceland: First of all big thanks to Hannes and Inga that
is taking so good care of our precious horses on Iceland and runs
our common business Hamarsey ehf.! Sara fra
Saudakroki is back in training at Langholt (Elli and Vidja). She
received 1 prize last year and hopefully she will
qualify for Landsmot this coming summer. Also Garun fra Saudakroki,
that we share with Gudmundur and Audur, is in training at Langholt.
She is after the famous breeding mare Gnott fra Saudakroki (mother
of Galsi and Glymur++) and Gari fra A. She is only four with a lot
of willingness, powerful backsteps and so far medium action. We
expect a lot from her but she is young and we will not rush her. If
we feel she is ready Elli will show her this
coming spring in 4 yrs class. Platina fra Holtsmula, my silver
dapple Orri daugther (the only!) was started by
Elli and Vidja in september 2007 and proved to be very talented with
lots of action went to Gunnar Augustsson (that successfully prepared
our Selma fra Saudakroki last year) for further training in
beginning of January -together with another Orri daugther Thula fra
Nedra Seli -also 4 yrs old. Gunnar also took on
further training of Selma-in order to show her again this year
before we put her into breeding and is now also our
nabour at Hamarsey. Platina is now taken to Sigurssteinn for further
training (winner of WC in pace this summer), Thula is still
by Gunnar and Selma is opened up by Siggi Matt before we take her
back to Gunnar. Vaka fra Rip, the Isar daugther that I own togeteher
with Birgitta Ibert is in training by Kristin and Brandur at
Kirkjubærklostur-also 4 yrs old-So a lot of horses in training right
now-hopefully we get at least qualified for
Landsmot this year-I will bring my whole family there and that had
been fun!

Sweden: Big thanks to Märtha and Magnus for taking so good care of
my two boys! and thanks to Johanna and Vignir for excellent training
of the two-and Birgitta Ibert for always keeping an eye on our
horses and for great hospitality when I visit!!Ljomi and Hugur, my
two stallion prospects were started by Vignir and
Johanna in September 07. Hugur is shy and somewhat tense -also under
rider -and we decided to castrate him in order to
get him calmer and more cooperative. He is truely beautiful, big,
long legged with thick double mane covering his mule-great legs
and hooves so its not with light heart I castrate him -but its for
the best and on Vignirs advice. Ljomi, my
palmino Askur son, is very cooperative with a great character and
also with good movements and strong pedigree
(after a 1 prize Atli mother). Visa, my beautiful black Isar
daugther (after best six yrs mare in Sweden last year and VC
participant-Vaka fra Østeråker is now going in a
big heard by Vignir and Johanna and to be started in September.
Katla fra Holtsmula, orri daugther is being
trained by Hinni and to be shown in April/May. Hinni will
also ride her in coming Icetölt event in March. 
Hugur and Märtha, des 07 | 
Ljomi des 07 |
Norway: Litla-Mari is by Stein and Camilla at Lian and will be
started by Camilla in September. Looks great and I have big
expectations for this Askur daugther after
Heiddis från Fällan (very strong 1 pr mare after Svalur). Our
vallak, Ask fra Holabakken -after Asi fra Jor was
sold to a very nice Norwegian family (!) due to my daugthers moving
to Oslo and starting at the University. |
