Beautiful Saddlebred filly, Shutterfly SHF is up for Sale.

She has recently been weaned and is enjoying life in our filly herd. Coming from champion lines (Samurai SHF ​​​x DD's Fouettè) we expect greatness from her. She is halter trained and although a bit lively she is still easy to handle. With only 5 months of age she still has some growing to do, however since our herd is becoming a bit crowded we decided to sell some horses early.

Contact us if interested.

Since we never used the box stalls in our stable we had some changes done and turned them into paddocks. A great way for our youngsters to observe everyday life on a farm.

Summer is coming to an end, and before we start our favorite season, we are enjoying the last long evenings, finishing up our summer projects and restocking for the winter.

Introducing Teiturin Vapaudenkaiho

This gorgeous Finnhorse filly was given to us by Rosa Kajo (Stall Teitur). 

As charming as she is, she is also feisty and clever and has already started climbing ranks in the filly herd.  Coming from a Trotter bloodline we are hoping she might show gaiting potential later on. Until then she will stay with the fillies and have all the time she needs to grow up.

Today’s Horse for Sale

Pray On Me SHF  (Ailie)

Ailie is a 16 hh Standardbred mare. She has competed successfully in Speed Racking and is still in top condition. She is a lively mare who loves to run. Although generally a calm horse, she does have the tendency to get over exited, especially if she hasn't been worked in a while. She is a great prospect for any ambitious rider.

EDIT: Horse has been sold! Styrja of Stormhaven

Styrja is an 8 year old Icelandic mare and a patient school horse. She is careful and gentle, especially around little children. She is not easily spooked and enjoys attention from her riders (inheriting the traits from her wonderful sire Gandur). A fun activity we have recently started with her has been riding her bridleless.  She is suitable for all activities and with some more training and refinement there is no doubt she can be an excellent sport horse, as well.

Una

Una is one of the first end products of our Gaited Cob breeding program. She is a cross between Celtic Horse breeds (Highland-, Fell- and Kerrybog Ponies) and Icelandics.

Una was our broodmare and beloved school horse. She is a strong, energetic mare who is a fast learner and very responsive. She is easy to Tölt, her trot and canter are however rough to sit through. She needs a balanced rider.

Fála of Stormhaven

This Icelandic mare is six years old but still at the beginning stages of her training. Fála has beautiful markings and is social by nature. Patience is however not her strong suit and she can get ornery when bored, which has slowed our training down. After giving her a season off - in which she matured a bit - she was much more settled and ready for training. She might be difficult at first, testing her rider, but becomes obedient and responsive under a good rider.

So far we have only trained her in four gaits, but considering both her parents are good pacers she might have pace in her as well.

Today's Horse for SALE

Solitario SHF

Solitario is a darling and just the easiest horse to ride. His dam (also bred by us) is a Icelandic/Peruvian Paso cross and his sire the beautiful, black Standardbred Vox Machina. He has smooth, flowing gaits which aren’t the flashiest, but he has a lot of stamina and can run from morning to night. Solitario would also be great for beginners because of his sweet nature and easy handling. He would be suited as a school horse, trail horse or the odd competition. In addition to walk, trot and canter he also possesses the ambling gait (seen in the photo).  This gelding is four years old and just in the beginning of his training.

EDIT: Horse has been sold

For the next few days I will be posting different horses for sale. You don’t have to belong to a special community or anything. I’m just looking for new owners who will enjoy these horses as much as I have.

Let’s start off with this Dame Katana Chic SHF

Katana is a 10 year old American Saddlebred, out of our Park Pleasure Champion stud Samurai SHF.  We adore this mare and are only selling her since we want to keep our ASB population to a minimum. She is great with riders of all ages and experiences, is easy to handle (vet check, hoof trimming, all the scary stuff) and is highly intelligent. Her gaits have a lot of expression and are free flowing. She is a four gaited horse with exceptional Rack and is also trained in Fine Harness.  She is not just great on the track. We have done trail rides with her and even used her in fun horse games such as jousting and “Beer Tölt” (gaiting around the arena with a jug of beer in your hand without spilling a drop).

She is a treasure for sure and to be honest we will not be upset if she doesn’t find a new home:)

Second batch of foals.

Bálki, our lovable colt, the sleepy, black filly is our gaited Cob Gwynith Dreki is a natural gaited Icey and Draumey, our charming filly out of Lina

Some of our foals from this year

This season we have a lot of first time mommas. Valhalla had a little independent filly, Tvista. The black and white horses are Gnípa frá Teitur with her first foal Lundi. The little Shutterfly is an American Saddlebred out of our champion DD's Fouettè. And lastly we have Efridís, a beautiful speckled filly out of Hrifla.

[fosterchild42]

You can’t expect much enthusiasm from the boys right after breakfast. Nap time is more important.

Embla of Stormhaven

Beautiful broodmare from our Silver Dapple stud Dálkur, so she inherited the silver gene, his amazing gaits, but also a bit of an attitude from him. 

(one of her daughters will be for sale soon...)

Training our Youngsters. In Iceland ponying is a popular training method to start young horses, and one we have been practicing for a long time. Especially in a group it is a fun activity that motivates all. Since Skýla is a timid horse around humans we tie her to a secure leading horse, that way if she acts out our gelding Skjóni can easily hold her and she’ll quickly learn to just keep moving. Other horses like Kylja take to this activity very easy and don’t need an extra leading horse. Fun for all. Happy Trails.

Clay is notorious for his inability to deal with the cold. He will even take off work when it gets below -20 C (-4 F).  So this year the team pulled together and purchased an expensive Polar Expedition wear for him. Now that he is nice and snug we finally get happy Clay back - even in the winter months.
