Verð að koma með fréttirnar strax, en það var að koma í ljós að Álfarinn er í toppstandi. En eins og við höfum sagt frá gekk ekki vel hjá honum að fylja hryssur í fyrra en aðeins ein hryssa kastar við hann í ár. Upp kom getgátur um að mikilli lyfjagjöf móðurinnar þegar hann var á fósturstigi, hafi haft áhrif á þroska hans. En Álfadís slasaðist lítillega þegar hún var í girðingunni hjá Keili, þetta leiddi til þess að hún fékk sýkingu í lið og á timabili leit þetta ekki vel út, hætt var að hugsa um fóstrið og snúið að því að bjarga henni, og fylja hana síðan aftur, enda var talið nokkuð víst að hún myndi láta. Þetta sumar og haust var hún sónuð marg oft en hún hélt fylinu þannig að við létum hana halda því vonuðum eftir það besta. Þegar síðan kom í ljós að hann fyljaði illa í fyrra var maður farin að velta því hvort maður hafi tekið ranga ákvörðun á sínum tíma. Í vor var tekið úr honum sýni og þá kom í ljós að allt virtist vera í lagi nema það að hann var með sýkingu sem hann var meðhöndladur við, en hugsanlegt er að það hafi bara verið hún sem var að stríða hann í fyrra. Í morgun fórum við með Álfarinn i Sanhólaferju, en þar átti hann að vera í nokkra daga til þess að ransaka úr honum sæðið. Guðmar í Sandhólaferju tók úr honum sæði strax þegar hann kom og það reyndist vera í svo góðu lagi að hann sagðist treysta sér til að sæða tuttugu hryssur með þessum eina skammti. Að svo sögðu sendi hann okkur heim með hestinn. Þetta eru auðvitað mjög góðar fréttir enda er Álfarinn gullfallegur sonur Álfadísar frá Selfossi og Keilis frá Miðsitju, sem sagt albróðir Álfasteins frá Selfossi, sem þykir vera mikil eftirsjá úr landi. Álfarinn verður í girðingu hér hjá okkur í Syðri Gegnishólum í allt sumar.

Yesterday our first foal was born, Gráhildur had a bay mare. The sire is Álfarinn frá Syðri Gegnishólar, he is three years old and is the brother of Álfasteinn frá Selfossi. It's Álfarinn's only foal this year and it is belived that the mothers drug treatment on the fetal stage might have some influence on Álfarinn's growth. At the moment things look good so we are hoping that it stays that way and that we can have more foals from Álfarinn next year.

We just recieved pictures of one of Kraflar's offsprings for the new feature where you can see our stallions' offsprings. I find these pictures so beautiful that I want to display them. The older mare's name is Grábrá, she is the daughter of Brá, who is in breeding with us. Grábrá's daughter is Ófeig from Öst and is born and owned by Christina Bach Sörensen. Christina bought Grábrá from us when she was filly and later on moved her to Denmark, when she was pregnant with Ófeig. Grábrá has been Christina's riding horse except for when Fredrik Rydström trained her for a short period of time and showed her. She got 8.20 for conformation and 7.54 for talent, witch makes 7.80 in total score. I have been watching Christina and Grábrá on clinics for a few years and I know that Grábrá has much more talent then her score says. Trine Risvang is training Grábrá at the moment and the plan is to show her again this spring. I've heard that things are going well.

Last weekend we had a clinic with Julio Borba again, as usual it was great, interesting and very nice. We are allways learning more and the horses are improving. At the last part of the clinic we focused on longing work, how to longe every horse in the best way those days we are not riding them, or beside riding. We longed the horses in different ways, with sidereins, reins between the front legs and with pesoa. Pesoa was created by a famous showjumping rider with the same name. It was created to invent the topline and to work and improve the canter, later they started to work the horses in trot also. Julio showed us how to work the horses in the best way and with the same aim as when we are riding. It is great to see him work the horses on the longe, to see how much they work and the influence that he has on them. We really got insperated to go on with this work.

We just added a new link to our website with pictures of the stallions offsprings. You click "Gangmyllan-breeding", then "Stallions-All" and at last "Stallions' offsprings". After that you can pick one of the stallions and there you can see pictures of their offsprings. By now there are a lot of pictures of Álffinnur's offsprings but in the next days we will insert pictures of the other's too. If you have pictures of any of their offsprings we would appreciate it if you could send them and let us use them for the website. Please send to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

These pictures of Ljóni were captured some days ago, he is doing well and has recovered from all illness since last year. He shown at LM'11 in the category 7 years old stallions and older and has because of that no participation rights for breedingcompetition at LM'12. The aim with him will be on a competition this spring but in the summer he will be in Eyjafjörður.
