Filma is one of the mares we own on Iceland. Black & beautiful, great tolt in all tempi, has a lovely character and is a very caring mother for her foals. She had been trained for judgement when we bought her in 2020, and during the actual show she received great notes. With 9 for slow tolt, 9 for form under rider and a 9 for neck, shoulder and withers, she makes a lovely four gaited horse and we are looking forward to follow the development of the foals we have after her.
Filma has been used as a breeding mare before we bought her, and because they also wanted to show her at a breeding show, her previous owners choose to use other mares as surrogate, so they could keep riding Filma. That worked really well, and she has quite a few offspring already.
One of her earlier foals has been judged: Kvíkur frá Nautabúi, a nice 4 gaited stallion, with good movements and nice confirmation.
Our own Brímí, after the great Alfaklettur, is a very nice looking 2 year old now, also with nice confirmation and good, neck and shoulder, and with loooots of natural tolt!
Filma herself could wish for a bit more mane, so we sent her to Skyr this year, not that she herself will get more, but maybe she also will be happy giving some (more) to one of her kids.

We bought Hylling as a young mare, because we were looking for a mare with more pace than our other breeding mares. Hyllings father & mother both have a 9 for pace, so we gambled, bought her and got her trained and judged. She has very nice gaits, but unfortunate no (real) pace, so she was judged as a fourgaiter.
Hylling father is Þráinn, who this year at landsmot got an honorary prize for offspring. Þráinn himself has a stunning 9.11 for rideability and is, on top of that, very beautiful with his 8.7 for confirmation.
Hylling mother is a Huginn fra Haga mare, with 8 for confirmation and 8.48 for riding abilities (tot.8.29), with 9’s for pace and willingness, and 8.5 for tolt and proportions.
So maybe, we will find Hyllings pace someday, for now she just has a nice fast tölt to enjoy!
All in all, a very friendly mare, easy and fun to ride and a joy to work with.
She is now covered by Sindri, and we are looking forward to that foal. Hylling will probably come to Denmark next year, as we think she would make a great riding and competition horse as well. But first we will wait for her first foal and she how she does, before we decide if we will use her for riding or breeding.

Telma frá Bakkakoti

IS2007286178
f. Sær frá Bakkakoti
m. Tvista frá Hákoti
Telma has already given us quite a few very nice offspring, and she will be retiring from breeding from this year.
We bought Telma at the time purely on her pedigree, as she is after the great Sær fra Bakkakot. She is born and bred on Iceland and has been out on the big, big fields in southern Iceland a great part of her life. She liked that, and preferred the space over humans, so she is still a bit reserved towards strangers. With us, she definitely has her favorite person, but is easy in all handling with all of us.
Telma has been briefly trained under the sadle when she was younger, and was cooperative and willing. We did not train her that much, as a new foal already was on the way and a breeding show was therefore not possible.
Her offspring are curious, cooperative and quick learners. They are easy in handling, and do prefer, just like their mom, that 1 special person. So if you click with own one of her foals, you have a friend for life! Most of her kids are fourgaited, some are with a 5th gear, depending on the stallions we used.
We are looking forward to training her offspring after Ljosvaki, a big pinto mare, who not only shows lots of natural tolt in the field but also with lots of high movement and good speed and a nice cooperative character.
Her last foal before retiring from breeding is Eydís (after Ísak). Eydís is big and well build, and will be probably a very easy tölter with good movements!

Conf: 8.35

Total: 8.07 (4 ganger)
Ljósbrá has given os a few very nice offspring, with good height, lots of tølt (and lots of mane and tail as well)!
She was judged in 2004, and is a first prize mare with 8.08 in total as a fourgaiter. (8.35 for confirmation and 7.88 for rideability). Her mother was judged as a 4-gaiter (8.04), her father was a four-and-a-half gaiter with 7.5 for pace, but 9.5 for tolt and 9 for trot and 9.5 for willingness (rid. 8.74 back in 1998!).
Most of Ljósbrá’s offspring where easy to learn to tölt, though their pace is not fast enough to be really good.
She is very sweet in all handling and her offspring are very friendly and cooperative as well.
Ljósbrá had her last foal in 2018, as a 22 year old, and she is now enjoying her retirement here with us in Denmark, in our ‘oldie-but goldie-field, with her good friends Blávör, Hnoðri and Sæll.
