Jósefina frá Bergsstöđum
Taken
summer 2007 |
Sire:
Höđur from Hvoli
(first prize stallion
8.2)) According to her owners, Josefina has a wonderful temperament and anyone can ride her. They describe her as having a smooth gait that is easy to ride and that she moves along at a good clip. They have trouble getting her to do anything other than tolt when asked to move faster than walk. She exhibits no signs of being barn sour and is happy to lead on trail rides. Lately she has been ridden by a 9 year old who has no problems handling her. She is probably around 13.2 hands tall. Josefina is an imported 2nd prize mare with an overall score of 7.52 and the breeding on the sire's side is quite good. Her conformation scores are 8.5 head, 7.5 neck/shoulder/withers, 8 back/croup and proportions, 7.5 for leg quality, joints and hooves for a total of 7.75. Riding scores are 7.5 for tolt, trot and temperament, 5 for pace (meaning she was shown four-gaited) and 8 for gallop, character and general impression for a total ridden score of 7.29.
Her current owners acquired her a few years ago along
with property they purchased from their neighbor. They specialize in Quarter
Horses, and though they enjoyed having Jose for their children they
have decided that one Icelandic is a bit out of place. They are looking to
find her a home with someone who will care for her long term and who will
appreciate her unique qualities and breed characteristics.
She has had 6 foals with previous owners, the last one being in 2005, so
could very likely have more. |

Elding frá Rhythmhill
Taken
June, 2004 |
Sire:
Frendi from Rhythmhill
Elding is a confident mare
with lots of trail experience. She has carried riders of all levels
and is safe for novices and children. Her tolt is very easy to get and
smooth, and can be very clean. She is probably five gaited. She
is a very sturdy 12.2 hands tall with a broad strong back. I would call her moderately forward.
Some energy but not too much, yet not dead either. Her tendency will
be to stop and not move rather than to run off or spin. She has had
several foals, two of which are listed for sale on this web site. Her
foals inherit her confidence and her tendency to tolt. |

Arva frá Pegasus
|
Sire: Fengur fra Stokkseyri (first prize stallion) Arva is a sweet mare that enjoys attention and is willing to please, though she can be a little shy around strangers. She was started under saddle at age 6, and had about 60 days of training. Her owner says she was fine to ride and brave out on the trail. I restarted her last fall and she's been ridden regularly ever since, especially this summer. I find her fun to ride- she is alert but steady on the trails and doesn't seem bothered by cars, dogs, or ATVs. She has made great progress in flexibility, self-carriage, balance and leg yields. She has also become more energetic and forward while still retaining good brakes and though she likes to go fast she is not inclined to run off out of control. She tolts under saddle but also trots and is developing a nice canter. I believe she could have flying pace as well. She doesn't mind being bathed, including having her face sprayed. Teeth were floated in September 2007. She really wants her own person to bond with.
She measures
just under 14 hands (tall withers) and has a solid build. She shows trot
and lots of tolt at liberty. She's raised one foal successfully,
but lost her first foal because she did not produce enough milk., so if
bred she'll need to be watched. |

Gloa from Whispering Oaks Sale Pending
Sire: Draumur frá Hrísum (first prize stallion)
[Description
provided by the owner] Gloa is an easy, safe horse and according
to her owner, Liz Crain, Gloa would be suitable for a child or
beginner. Liz's trainer says that Gloa does
anything asked of her and is very confident. She tolts a lot and
hardly trots at all if ever. She is just over 12.3 hands and lightly built
like her sire, so would be best suited to a medium to light rider. She
does, however, have strong legs with good bone. She is overall a
pretty mare with nice conformation. She's had quite a bit of
riding and some trail miles. Owned by Elizabeth Crain Contact Dawn Shaw via E-mail or 360-275-7542 |

Hrefna from Evergreen
Taken
April 27,
2007 |
Sire:
Sproti frá Langhúsum (first prize) Hrefna is a tolter and will be someone's dream horse. In fact, at this time she is primarily two-gaited: walk and tolt though she does offer some trot under saddle and has a high smooth 4-beat canter. She is very friendly and people-oriented. She is brave on the trail and will lead even through scary situations. She is, however, very forward and most suitable for a confident rider. She is a SMOOTH ride since she mostly tolts. She is definitely four gaited and talented enough to be used in tolt competitions. With training for consistency in trot and canter, she could be used in four gait competition. She measures 13.1 hands. Hrefna was imported en utero from Iceland, and her sire is a grandson of honor prize stallion Ófeigur frá Flúgamýri. The dam's paternal grandsire is honor prize stallion Hervar frá Sauđárkróki, the dam's maternal grandsire is honor prize stallion Ţáttur frá Kirkjubćr. Hrefna's half-sister Gćfa from the same mare is also listed for sale on this page.
Hrefna is for sale only to the
right home. She will do best with her own person to bond with and can be
very affectionate. She would be perfect for someone with riding
experience who maybe has injuries and needs a smooth ride but who is not
frail and can still be a leader. |

Thruma frá Rivendell
Taken
November 18,
2006 |
Sire:
Hugur frá Hofsstađaseli (second prize silver dapple) Mysa is a gentle, sweet mare with lots of tendency toward tolt. Her dam is a natural tolter and her sire is the well-known Hugur who was a good competition horse. Standing at just under 12.3 hands (129 cm), she is a strongly built so despite her smaller stature would be fine for an average sized adult rider. She'd been ridden bareback by a child while ponying another horse, and has been ponied from another horse. She is an easy keeper. Mysa has good basics, including leg yields and basic dressage. Her tolt has become cleaner and faster with training. In fact, she usually picks up tolt out of walk now. She is five gaited and sometimes pace sneaks in when coming down from canter/gallop. She does have energy and will sometimes speed up, but she listens to her rider and has never bolted. She is not bombproof, but when she does startle she spooks in place and does not spin or bolt. I think Mysa has potential to eventually be a good horse for a novice rider, but only if the rider can be assertive with her. She'll do almost anything you ask but sometimes you have to insist. She can get especially energetic when with a group of horses. The name "Mysa Rimba" originates from the desire to call her "thunder cloud" in Icelandic. However, the literal translation turned out to be "cottage cheese drum" so her registered name will be Thruma, which means "thunder." We all just call her Mysa. Or Cottage Cheese Drum. Or "the Hobbit Horse." Also, though it's hard to tell in her winter coat, she has tons of dappling. The lower part of her mane falls on the other side. Mysa may be pregnant as she has been kept with a young ungelded colt this winter.
*All the
paperwork exists to register this mare, including genetic marker report and
parent verification. Registration will be a condition of sale. |

Sire: Ofeigur frá Saga California Hera is very friendly and people-oriented. She has had several months of riding and was very easy to start. I taught her basic dressage so she knows bending and leg yields. She has been out on the trail a number of times including having exposure to some challenging obstacles. She does not seem to be afraid of cars. She's been ridden in Sisters, Oregon this summer so has had some riding time away from home and therefore exposure to different areas. She is calm and not high-energy but nor is she a deadbeat. She seems eager to please. She is strong in trot and does not have a natural aptitude for tolt. She has taken tolt steps and at least one full sibling has lots of tolt so it may be possible for her to obtain tolt with further training. I would not however put any guarantees in writing at this point. If she does not sell I will spend time this winter working on just that. She is a sturdy mare with good hooves, standing 13.1 hands tall and still growing. She had a foal last year, though I am not selling her as broodmare prospect. She has had an issue with kicking larger breed horses. I haven't had that problem here on my farm and I've kept her with a variety of different Icelandic horses. Her pasture mates either don't put up with her attitude or they get out of her way so there are no problems. I suspect that the Morgan horses she was with probably stood there and took it and she couldn't figure out why they didn't move when she told them to. She was raised in a herd situation with Icelandics, Peruvians and Peruvian crosses so I wouldn't think that it is an issue with all larger breeds. Hera is not, however, an alpha horse and backs right down if another horse is more assertive than her. She shows no tendency to kick or bite people. Hera is great with children and I suspect that tolt or no tolt she would make a great family horse, 4-H project and all around riding horse. She loves children and lets them hang all over her, including pulling on her teats. She might also make a good therapy horse. But at this stage she is still green so I can only sell her with this potential. Her lower price reflects my need to reduce my numbers.

Brunfleka from Whispering Oaks
|
Sire:
Vakar frá Skarđi (first prize
stallion)
She is independent but friendly and very
expressive. Ground work has shown her to be responsive and
brave. She is definitely four gaited, could be five, and shows trot with
lift and extension. She has been started lightly under saddle and has
been easy to train. She has been ridden all over the ranch in walk,
trot and canter and she does offer some tolt. This is no surprise as both parents are
good tolting horses. Owned by Elizabeth Crain Contact Dawn Shaw via E-mail or 360-275-7542

Gćfa from Evergreen
Taken
April 27,
2007 |
Price Reduced!
Sire:
Holdur frá Brún (first prize) Gaefa is a friendly energetic mare with lovely conformation and tons of tolt. She is five gaited, showing flying pace as a foal. She currently alternates readily between tolt and trot at liberty and under saddle but is not pacy. Her canter is easy to get and though she tends to settle into trot the tolt is prevalent and will be easy to train when the time comes. I don't ask for a specific gait at this stage, just consistency in speed as we build her strength and develop her balance. She confident and brave, but is also willing to please. She is a well started green broke horse but is not suitable for a timid or novice rider at this time. However, she is not spooky and she seems to listen well. She has excellent hooves and currently measures 13 hands, though I expect her to gain height as she fills out over the next couple of years.
The bloodline is certainly reputable. Gćfa's sire has produced many
offspring which have performed well in competition as well as in breeding
evaluations. He is a grandson of honor prize stallion Ófeigur
frá Flúgamýri.
The dam's paternal grandsire is honor prize stallion Hervar frá
Sauđárkróki, the dam's maternal grandsire is honor prize
stallion Ţáttur frá Kirkjubćr. Gćfa's
half-sister Hrafna from the same mare is also listed for sale on this page. |
