Horses for Sale
Our policy is to try to match riders to horses and we will not knowingly sell anyone an unsuitable horse. To that end we encourage would-be purchasers to spend time here trying horses before they buy. We can organize individual courses to cover riding as well as management of Icelandic horses so that new owners can be as well informed as possible before taking their new horse home.
Due to insurance problems we do not allow horses to go on loan prior to purchase however we aim to give new owners as much support as possible in settling their new horse into their home or in the future training of the horse. We offer a full training and backup service for horses and riders.
This page contains a selection of the horses that are currently available. All of the homebred horses have been correctly wormed and fed since birth and we can provide details of the worming regime for each horse, giving you confidence that the horse you buy should not die early due to incorrect or incomplete worming during the early years.
We back the horses at four and give them a basic training in stop, start and steer. This includes training the horses to respond correctly to a bit in their mouths. As with many other trainers we initially train the horses to respond to a headcollar or halter when they are first ridden. However we then progress to riding with a bit in their mouths. We do not believe that the horse's education as a riding horse is complete until their mouths have been trained to respond confidently to light pressure from a snaffle bit.
In the interest of both the horse and rider, we will only sell horses under 5 years to experienced owners who have had prior experience of bringing on young horses. If you are interested in younger horses please phone to discuss what might suit you.

POA
Leikur from Siamber Wen 2004
Leikur completed his initial phase of groundwork and started his ridden work in February 2009. His basic gaits of walk, trot and canter are good enough to launch him in a career as a dressage horse while his tölt is showing promise of being regular, smooth and .expressive He is a laid back fellow who is easy to ride and would be suitable for all the family as well as being a talented mount for a competitive rider. This combination of being easy for most people to ride and having four such good gaits makes him a real catch.
