This wonderful filly was born yesterday, 12th of May, exactly as I was hoping for. This is Álfadís's sixteenth foal and the first red pinto filly. Her father is Sveinn-Hervar frá Þúfu, a horse that has been my favorite from the beginning and started to breed from him when he was five years of age and had not yet received first price. In him I saw a great competition material and I was right because very few horses have produced as many competition horses as Sveinn Hervar.

We moved the yearlings to Ketilsstaðir in the east of Iceland this week, this enjoyable video clip was taken on that occasion. The older horses at Ketilsstaðir were so excited to get the yearlings in the heard that they went many times on the trailer to try to get them.
Finally the first foal of this year at Gangmyllan is born. Mother is Vænting frá Ketilsstöðum(Mother of Natan frá Ketilsstöðum and many more) and father is Ljósálfur frá Syðri-Gegnishólum (son of Álfadís and Lord frá Vatnsleysu).

Eiðfaxi's Stallion day was helt yesterday where we showed four horses. Here are some pictures of Álfgrímur since he is the only one of them that has not been presented this year. Álfgrímur had a broken tooth(grinder) which was removed in the beginning of January and took a long time to recover since this proved to be a bigger intervention than we had expected. He did well in the show even though he has not gained his full strength yet.
Brynja and Goði were in the show and represented them selves very well, see pictures of them in the album.
Elin and Frami were also in the show and did an excellent performance, there are also some photos of them in the album.

No foals yet but we think that Vænting frá Ketilsstöðum is very promishing. The weather is very summer like and we are excited for the foals to be born this year.
