Sara, in the beginning by hand. And north in Iceland Sandra has started training Vakning (see below). In addition Gnipa, Hrund and Fasta are

25.10.07. Trip to Iceland to visit my horses in the south and east.

10.10.07. One of my favorite stallions outside Iceland is Isar fra
Keldudal, owned by my good breeding friends
Birgitta and Rune Ibert. The combination of Isar and a talented mare out
of one of my absolute
favorite stallions
on Iceland Stigur fra
Kjartanstadir (father of Odur and Adam amongst other great horses and
with 5 very correct gaits)
was to har to
resist. I therefore bought the three month old beautiful Isadora fra
Karlsro after Isar and 1 prize Stigur
daugther
Sunna fra Blikastodum. The youngster seems to be well built, strong and
well raised with good neck and with
great movements. Thanks to Anna-Lena and Thorvald for trusting me to buy this
beautiful young mare. I will take good
care of her, and hopefully she will become one of my breeding mares in
the future.....

raised and moving beautifully.

09.10.07. The three years olds Pula fra Nedra Seli and Garun fra
Saudakroki are brought to Elli and
Vidja at Langholt to be started. Then a brak until they will be put into
training in January next year with
the intention of qualifying them for Landsmot next year if all goes
well-but its a long way there and we also need
quite a bit of good fortune to reach this ambitious goal.

Platina fra Holtsmula also a three yrs old Orri daugther and bred by
Siggi and Lisbeth, will join them
this coming week.They all three have strong pedigrees with lots of
talent behind them so it will be very interesting
to follow them-and eventually see which one is most talented.....
10.09.07. Gnipa did not come through for us this time. The weather was
bad and all energi was gone. Her scores were 7.94 for
conformation and 7.47 for riding, total 7.66. She expects a foal after
Stali next summer and we then plan to show her again
spring 2009.
03.09.07: Daniel was not able to improve Gasellas score on the overview
and she ended up with 8.06 total (8.03 conformation
and 8.08 riding skills). Even though we do think Gasella can do much
better, she received 1 prize and we put her into breeding.
It begins to be late to become pregnant but we take her directly
to the four gaited Orri son Sveinn- Hervar and hope for the best.
