Here are some pictures taken last Saturday at Ketilsstaðir. Freyja Amble Gískadottir visiting her horse Muggur frá Stangarholti which is 28 years old. Dam was Mugga frá Kleifum and sire Gáski frá Hofsstöðum. I believe Muggur is one of Gáski's latest offsprings, time flies. Freyja and Muggur had a successful career together. Among others, 2x Landsmót victory and nine times Icelandic champions.

Have to post a picture of this talented and lovely horse who now lives in California, USA with his owner Heidi Benson. This picture and video shows what a great horse he is, 5 gater with clear 5 gates and a lovely personality. Makes us so happy to see our horses in good hands, thank you Heidi.
P.s the picture and the video is taken on the same competition, but Heidi and Strokkur won the speedpace.

This is Gljátoppur frá Miðhrauni 4 years old, dam is Salka frá Stuðlum 8,26 and sire is Álfarinn frá Syðri-Gegnishólum. A promising young stallion with a beautiful colour, his breeding lines are very interesting, his grandmothers are Þerna frá Arnarhóli and Álfadís frá Selfossi. They were in third and second place in the group of 4 year old mares at Landsmót 2000 and have both proved to be excellent breeding mares, both with Honorary price for offsprings.
Looks like this young stallion is not going to disappoint them.

Rider is Máni Hilmarsson, breeder Ólafur Ólafsson and owners Gísli Guðmundsson and Máni Hilmarsson.
