Now I am going to continue writing about the horses we showed in Landsmót and the first one I want to present for you is Mugga frá Syðri Gegnishólum. She recieved 8,18 in total score. 7,93 for confirmation, 8,35 for riding abilities and the 10th place in the 5 years old group of mares. The mother of Mugga is Mugga frá Kleifum who was the daughter og Lygna frá Kleifum and Hnokki frá Steðja. Lygna was a 4 gaited mare with 8,02 in total score and her father was Logi frá Kletti. Hnokki frá Steðja was 5 gaited with 7,88 as a total score, with 8,5 for pace and 8,07 for riding abilities.
Mugga frá Kleifum got 15 offsprings and the last one when she was 26 years old and Mugga is her next last offspring. By the age of 24 she had thirteen offsprings and hadn't had a foal in two years so we thought this was it. She was in Ketilsaðir at our farm in the east, where we raise our horses and we wanted her to stay there in her ritirement. Once we were there I saw Ljóni and I got the idea that she could spend her time there as well, one year later she had a foal that was given the name Mugga because we thought she would get white as her mother later and that she would be her last foal, both turned out to be wrong. Old Mugga has 7,56 as a total score abd 102 in blup and younger Mugga is her first offspring to recive a 1 price. This does not sound good, but her two daugthers that are in breed have boath been giving lots of first price horses, and old Mugga´s descendants are Landsmóts,Icelandic and Norwegian champions.
Yonger Mugga's father is Ljóni frá Ketilsstöðum that has 8,47 as a total score and Mugga is his oldest and first offspring to take part in a breeding judgement. Ljóni's father is Álfasteinn frá Selfossi who had 8,56 as a total score, and fulfilled the conditions for 1st prize og honor for offsprings at only 10 years old. Álfasteins mother is Álfadís frá Selfossi with 8,31 as a total score at four years old and 1st prize of honor for offsprings, his father is Keilir frá Miðsitju with a totalscore of 8,63 and 1st prize of honor for offsprings.
Mugga is now to be bred with Glóðafeyki frá Halakoti.
