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.
Lotta frį Sandholaferju born 1993 imported 1996
Sire Garšur frį LitlaGarši C: 7.79 R: 8.59 - 8.19 with pace Dam Létt frį Sandhólaferju
Lotta has had 7 foals but this year she failed to get in foal and so it was decided that she had done her bit for the Icelandic horse population. Lotta was backed and ridden for just 6 months way back in 1999. Lotta was a very easy horse to back and train initially so it was no surprise that she easily took to being ridden again after all these years of being a broodmare. Lotta has sweet-itch but has lived out all of her life without rugs. She has a lovely long mane and full tail but it does take work and dedication to keep her like that while still living out. Lotta is a very loving horse who needs a dedicated person to look after her and enjoy long hacks in the countryside with. She is five-gaited which means that her tölt is smooth and comfortable and her trot is shallow and ground covering. In short, her gaits are comfortable to ride. Having spent so long as a broodmare Lotta does lack experience of the wider world and so she needs an experienced rider to give her confidence. Ideally her special person would be a more 'senior ' rider who is looking to spend time with a horse and lavish time, companionship and love on it.

Feykir from Siamber Wen B 2003
%20crop.jpg)
Feykir is by the first prize stallion Skuggi frį Hauvaršurkoti. Feykir is tall and handsome with gorgeous flowing mane and tail. He is not a plod but is sensitive and will be forward-going. He is just backed but is showing definite signs of being five-gaited. He could have the potential to be a medium level competition horse given the right training. Whether destined for a competition home or not he will certainly become a lovely riding horse like his mother's other offspring. Currently still learning the basics Feykir is only for sale to a knowledgeable home.

Loki from Whixall B 2003

Loki is tall and very elegant. He is by the first prize stallion Skuggi frį Hauvaršurkoti. He would not look out of place in a dressage arena. He is likely to be four gaited with good enough gaits for competition work. He is proving to be a good student and is taking his lessons in his stride. It is very early in his training (we do not rush the young horses) so he is only for sale to a knowledgeable home that will develop him correctly.

Hula from Siamber Wen B 2003
Hula is a very gentle and loving young mare. She is learning fast and always tries her best. She will be forward-going but listens very well to her rider so is very easy to stop, start and steer. Currently still working on the basics she is only for sale to a knowledgeable home where she will be correctly developed. She will make a very loving family friend but should also have the ability to do fairly well in competitions. Hula is smaller than the boys but she makes up for it in personality. She is also daughter of the honour prize stallion Oddur fra Selfossi C 8.1 R 8.86 8.48
