Here are some of the horses we've sold over the past few years:

Árdís from Solva - very tall and sturdy blue dun filly, born 2007 - Árdís will turn grey eventually like her dad. She was a beautiful foal and will eventually make a stunning adult who will be well up to weight. She will probably be 4 gaited and shows good trot and some tölt in the field. By Fróđi from Solva (by Dropi) out of Jenny frá Eyvindarhólum. She is sweet and curious, is regularly foot-trimmed and wormed etc and has been naturally raised in the herd. She has seen traffic (including tractors etc) and it doesn't bother her. Fully registered and microchipped, with IHSGB passport, no sweet itch shown. Congratulations to Clare & Al at St Davids Trekking Centre, who are expecting a foal in 2012 and from lovely Ardis.

Sirius from Solva - Skessa's blue dun (going grey) colt foal by Thor, who has gone to France to be a stallion eventually. He's accompanied by Jenny's black filly by Bob, Lotta from Solva.

Perla from Whitley - (sold on behalf of her owner) - Tall, strong and well-built grey filly (born black) who is very friendly, good to catch, shoe, box, lead etc. Perla was born in 2007, by Fróđi from Solva out of Skuld frá Hjaróartungu. Perla has gone to join the herd at Halfkey Icelandics near Hereford.

Ómar from Solva - chestnut splashed white pinto gelding out of Depla and now sold to Fiona and Graeme in Wales. Ómar is a lovely boy who is sadly completely deaf (it´s related to his splash white colouring), and he´s very happy in his new home, being ridden over the mountains near Aberystwyth. He should make a competition horse eventually as he has lovely high action, good gaits and bags of presence.

You can read more about Fiona and Graeme and their horses on their website.

Sölvi from Solva GB2009134013 - 2009 colt by Stáli from Birdsmoorgate out of Jenný frá Eyvindarhólum. Red dun with a star, very tall and well built and with exceptional movements. Rather shy, but curious and very sweet. Sölvi has real stallion or competition potential. He should make a tall, strong horse and appears to be 4-gaited.

Galdur

Just been swapped (called "Hestakaup" in Icelandic!) with Skessa, so now he's staying with Mandy and Smari in Wiltshire.This young black gelding has recently been started and is looking very promising. He has good action in all the gaits, and his tölt is easy to find. He has good natural self-carriage and a very sweet temperament. He´s friendly and easy to handle, not scared of things, and a really nice chap. He´s strong and stocky and should make a fun forward going family horse for a rider who is not too tall. UK-bred, no sign of sweet itch. Born 2003, 13.1hh, good to catch, box, shoe etc etc.

Drift fra Althingi

• Drift fra Althingi - beautiful family horse. 9 years old, about 13.3hh and strongly built.  Sold to Ida Kraft in Somerset, where she will be living with Ida's other Icelandic mare Eistla.

DRIFT

Out of our brood mare Molda by Drífandi, Drift is a really lovely mare who now belongs to Carol Clark. T

ASKA

We imported Aska from Iceland a couple of years ago. She´s a gorgeous mare, a real family horse, but just not quite big enough for Maria and I who are "larger ladies"! She has just been sold to Joanne from Staffordshire. Good luck, Jo!

SÖLVI

Sölvi used to be my competition horse - I rode him in three world championships. He´s a beautiful, talented horse who has been wasted up here for the last few years since I stopped competing seriously and turned more to judging. It was a very hard decision to sell him, made easier by the lovely home he went to, down in Salisbury with Rose Clarke and family.

Sölvi was originally Rose´s son Robert´s horse. Robert had a whale of a time with Sölvi and they had a real bond together. Then, tragically, Robert died in an accident at home during the summer of 2006. Rose is now riding Sölvi herself, and he remains a link for her to her beloved son Robert.

RÚNA

Rúna was our very first Icelandic foal, and she´s now in her late teens. She belongs to Gundula and Jeremy Sharman who live near Aberdeen, and they say that if they could clone her they would be rich as all their friends would like to buy her - but she´s not for sale!

SKUGGI

We sold Skuggi as a youngster to Tina in North Yorkshire. He was her first Icelandic, and she´s had a lot of fun with him. He´s certainly a character, as well as being a very handsome boy. He now belongs to Tina's friend Philippa who is enjoying competing with him.

ELDING

Another of the Molda/Drífandi youngsters, but totally different to her full sister Drift, Elding was sold as a youngster to Fiona and Graeme in Devon. They began her training, and she is a nice 4-gaited family horse. She´s actually for sale again, since Fiona bought a new competition horse and ran out of space! You can see her at Mandy and Smári´s place near Salisbury, or on their website.
