Viðarholt - Horses

Viðarholt and Hryggstekkur

 

  When we moved back to Iceland we were so fortunate that we could by an old, very well known breeding in Iceland.  The breeders Albert Jónsson  and Freyja Hilmarsdóttir  had  been breeding horses for 20 years at the farms Votmúli and Strandarhöfði.  Þórður was moving to Germany in 2004  and we bought all the horses from his breeding.  Among well known horses from Albert and Freyja are; Depill frá Votmúla and Glitnir frá  Strandarhöfði.

 

The breeding is based on an old breeding strain.  The "Godmother" is Nótt frá Kröggólfssröðum born in 1966 (IS1966287041) and she has got an

 

honorary price for offsprings.  Amongst her offsprings are Garún frá Stóra Hofi and Dúna frá Stóra Hofi. Garún has got first class for riding ability and

 

Dúna has got first class for offsprings.  More information about Nótt is in Icelandic on page http://www.landogsaga.is/section.php?

Daugther of Garún is Gína frá Votmúla who has got 1 class in total score in breeding judgement and her daughter is Gná frá Bakka who we own.

 

3 of Gnás offspings have got first class in total score in breeding judgement.   Dúna frá Stóra Hofi is the mother of Dröfn frá Stóra Hofi who we owned

 

and many off her offsprings have been sold. Amongst them is Dökk frá Hryggstekk who has got first class in total score in breeding judgement.
