Most of the mares are
home. Now most of the mares in Flagbjarnarholt are home from stallions this summer. Me and Pétur went with 5 mares to stallions and 4 of them are home in foal and getting fat for the winter. Gjósta frá Laufás is in foal with Krákur frá Blesastađir 1A. A great four gaited stallion that got 8.40 for rideabilities, 8.24 for conformation and in total 8,34 only 4 years old. For that he received second place in stallions four years old on Landsmót 2006. We are very exited about this and think it is a good match.
Hnáta and Tromma booth whent to Sćfari frá Hákot and are home in foal with him. He is big and handsome and very impressive five gaited stallion. We took two mares to him because hi was leaving Iceland to participate in the World Championships in Switzerland this year.
Las weekend we got Hera
home from Mjölnir frá Hlemmiskeiđ. A beautiful four years old Then we still have Kolfinna with Ljóni frá Ketilsstađir a promising fivegatied stallion from the strong breeding line of Ketilsstađir. Surtsey frá Feti, Svennis mare is also home in foal with Oliver frá Kvistir a son of Aron frá Strandarhöfđa and the half brother of Landsmót winner in 5 years old stallions last year Ómur frá Kvistir. He didn't give his brother anything after and received nothing less than 8.93 for rideabilitis, 8,28 for conformation and in total 8,67. Gyđja is also with him and Harpa is with Vilmundur frá Feti but they haven't been confirmed in foal till now. The pictures are of Mjölnir frá Hlemmiskeiđi.

Horse trip
Last weekend we whent on a horse trip with a big group around the south. The trip took form Friday to Sunday and those who whent all the way rood over 100 km. We came in on Saturday with our two horses Viđir and Tromma and went about 80 km in all. We took turns in riding our being in the car. We also lend some horses when we needed to. This group that rides together is always getting bigger and now there where 74 horses and around 30 people on Saturday when we where the most. It was a great trip with god company, god horses, god weather and beautiful surroundings. You can see more pictures from the trip under pictures.

Tromma frá Flagbjarnaholti. This is a young mare from our breeding called Tromma. Shier is Fáni frá Kálfholti and dame is Ösp frá Enni a daughter of Otur frá Sauđarkróki. I was training her this winter and now lately I have had her on green grass in Grindavik along with Víđir my other riding horse. She is getting better every day and this weekend I'm taking her on a horsetrip around the south.

Sindri frá Flagbjarnarholti Hnáta a daughter of Máni frá Ketilstöđum got a foal last week. The father is Fróđi frá Stađartungu a great five gaited horse. Sindri has a light conformation and shows all gaits. Sindri was suppose to be a mare but I didn't get my wish this time. There for I'm going to use Fróđi again and get a mare from him next time. We are happy about Sindri and he got named after an old horse that was my favourite one when I was a child. So Sindri has a lot to live op to in the future.

Hátíđ frá Flagbjarnarholti Hátiđ also came last week. It's shire is Natan frá Ketilstöđum and dame is Hera frá Götu a daughter of Óđur frá Brún. At first she looked a lot like her mother but when we looked closer we could se that she has higher legs and the neck is better than her mothers was in same age.
Hátid goes around in pace both slow and fast tempo "very fast" with big steps and a lot of movements in the hind legs. I'm never nerves about this movments because when you start training this kind of horses the tölt is high and god, and Hátíđ shows high leg action in the front. The trot usually comes when the foal is strong enough to be able to control it's movements more. The pace you don't have to worry about. The only thing I'm a little unhappy about is the gallop, it is low. Hátiđ is a strong five gaited mare we are happy about.

Skuggi frá Flagbjarnarholti. Pétur got this handsome black male foal last week. We where lucky that Helga a friend of us so that something's was wrong and checked it. The foal was laying on it's back stuck in a small rift in the land. It would have died if she wouldn't have helped it on it's feet and to it's mother. Skuggi is it's name and his shire is Mídas frá Kaldbak and his dame is Kolfinna a daughter of Kolfinnur frá Kjarnholtum. He shows both tölt and trot and he runs in high canter. We are very happy about him and even though Pétur was hoping for a mare this time, he knows he is getting a promising future competition horse.

Austri frá
Flagbjarnarholti. Svenni, Peturs brother got this beautiful black male foal last week. His name is Austri and his shier is Ţóroddur frá Ţóroddstöđum and dame is Surtsey frá Feti. He mostly shows tölt and pass and is like his mother very strong nerved around people but you can se on his eyes that he is full of willingness when he needs to.
31.05.09 Gersemi frá Flagbjarnarholti
We got this beautiful mare last week and we named her Tign.Tign shier is Gaumur frá Auđholtshjáleiga and dame is Gjósta frá Laufási a daughter of Gustur from Hóli. We are very happy about Tign. She is big and jumps around in light canter and trot.
My birthday is to day
and... last Tuesday I got a foal from Gjósta and Gaumur frá Auđholtshjáleiga. A black mare with a star. We are going to take a look at her tomorrow and I'm very.....very excided. It is not every day you will get a mare like this almost on your birthday. Svenni has also gotten a black male foal, after Surtsey and Ţóroddur frá Ţóroddstöđum.

Rammur frá Flagbjarnarholti our future stallion. He is 3 years old and we
took him inside last week to check him out. We are very satisfied with him
he sows all gaits with high leg action, wide steeps and a lot of power. He
is very lively to be around and you get the feeling that he is an
intelligent horse.

Springtime and little

Everywhere there is a green grass plan there are sheep's with lambs. I love this time in the year and the family whent for a visit to a friend of us that has 16 sheep's. The boys helped with taking the sheep's inside and then we study the lambs.
