Here are some of the horses we've sold
over the past few years:
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
Out of our brood mare Molda by Drífandi,
Drift is a really lovely mare who now belongs to Graeme and Fiona Tyson in
Devon. They have done competitions and long rides with her, and she is now in
foal for the first time to Dropi from Salisbury.
You can read more about
Fiona and Graeme and
their horses on their website.
 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!
Óđin, on the horses for
sale page, is one of Aska´s foals.
 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.
 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.
