OK I was not sure where to put this so I´ll just put it here cuz this is about breeding horses... so here it goes

The biggest horse event in Iceland was held last week (the whole week) and I was there the whole time

and I really want to shear so Im gonna show you the ones that charmed me the most

OK the horse that really made my week is Krummi (Raven) frá Blesastöðum (His breeders where also eleceted breeders of the year) he made 8.80 for talent and came in 5th place in the hardest class "7 years old and older stallions"
He radiated on the field and I feelt like I could feel his strength

Sigur (victory) frá Hólabaki just left me speech less with his beautiy
can you belive his color? he is DARK sorrel and I think he is flaxen also

Seiður (sorcery) frá Flugumýri came in 1 place in his class "4 y/o stallions" and really deserved it

More to come below!!!

Blær (breeze) frá Torfunesi already a respected stallion came and did not let any one down

This littel girl competed with the big guys, lol she got so far up in the hunt for the best gaiter that all that was left where the most beautifullist of stallions to compete with, her name is Lady

inclueding her brother Þytur (whistling)

and Glymur (echo) frá Innri-Skeljabrekku

Grunnur (foundation) frá Grund is belived to be the biggest Icelandic stallion (not the biggest horse) he was just amazing, I really liked him for his roughness

MORE TO COME BELOW!

Dimmir (dark) frá Álfhólum made it to the Landsmót witch was fun cuz friends of mine are breeding there mare to him for free this year for a favor in return

The respected stallion Álfur (elf) frá Selfossi came in 5th in his class "6 y/o stallions"
he is a blast this one!

WARNING! Famous stallions below!

Some very famous stallions where for show this weekend and one of them is THE stallion .. if you ever have looked into breeding of this breed you know one of them.. none other then Orri frá þúfu!

Keilir frá Miðsitju

And now you can see the master....

LOVE the pictures! I know your mare is being bred soon...she is with the stud...thanks for sharing the pics of the BIG Icelandic show! Great Pictures, of Beautiful horses...I have had the privilige of riding Icelandic ponies/horses, and they are the nicest tempermented of any horse that I have ridden...

The first time I had the oppurtunity to ride one....I just tacked her up, and went with a friend on a trail ride...what a dream...now i kick my self in the behind for not buying her when I had the chance...for a pittley 2 hundred bucks! Papered and all... nice liver chestnut with a flaxen mane....if I had the chance to aquire one like that again...I would not turn it down...the friend that had that mare, also had an older one that she drove..what a nice old mare she was....god rest her soul....

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the show, and some of the best of the Icelandic breed! some people may not know that they are gaited, and can carry a lot of weight.....for a 14 plus hand pony/horse!
