Sörli frá Svađastöđum
Taken June 23, 2008
|
Sörli frá Svađastöđum
Sire: Neisti fra Svađastöđum Sorli has a tolt that matches his good looks. He seems to be five gaited with a nice walk and tolts very easily under saddle. His tolt is clean and even novice riders can get it and maintain it with little knowledge of how to ask for it. He seems to have a very good speed range in tolt and it is very comfortable to ride. He will trot and canter when asked. His canter is smooth and easy to ask for, ride and maintain. He carries himself reasonably well- not stiff or hollow. He does have pace and probably flying pace but it is not trained. He has lots of trail experience and has been used in a public breed demo where he behaved very well and didn't seem bothered by the crowds and noise. He is very friendly and though can be a little pushy on the ground if you set boundaries he catches on quickly. He was used primarily as a breeding stallion then gelded in January 2007. Honestly, for a former stallion he is really well behaved and I don't see hardly any studdish behavior.
Sorli is 13.2 hands tall and has good
bone, big strong hooves and sturdy legs. He is pleasantly
willing under saddle- not too forward but not lazy either.
However, he can be a bit strong sometimes and requires a confident rider
who can be firm with him without starting fights. |

Bylur fra Bonsall
|
Sire: Faldur frá Toftum (first prize stallion) [Description given by his owner] Bylur is a personable gelding who has been under saddle approximately 3 years. He was originally trained in California and passed a posse trail hazard certification, including having a gun fired from his back. After a bit of a layoff he has been ridden quite a bit this summer on an oval track and on the trail. He crosses water including deep rivers and doesn't react much to scary things. He has never bucked or reared and doesn't shy, but rather he is a thinking horse and stops to examine anything he is unsure about. For the most part he is very relaxed on the trail and doesn't require much attention from his rider. He is easy to catch and easy to load, and has been doing hours of trail riding without shoes.
Bylur has a great natural tolt
and an easy relaxed trail canter but has had no formal gait training.
He measures 13.2 hands and weighs around 750 pounds. He carries a
rider weight of 170 with ease and has been mostly ridden in western tack.
He can be energetic, so is therefore
recommended for a confident rider; someone who can take a leadership
role.
An interesting point about this particular Icelandic is that he does not
tend to overeat. He self-maintains a good weight and will walk away from
hay. He is up to date on shots and worming and his teeth were floated about
a year ago and rechecked this past spring.

Kjarkur frá Alfasaga
|
Sire:
Kjarnar frá Kjarnholtum I (first prize stallion) I started Kjarkur for a different owner when he was four years old. I liked him then and am excited to have the opportunity to further his training. In the four years intervening, he's had considerable ground work but not much under-saddle time. Like many green horses, he needs to improve his balance and self-carriage, which we are doing through basic dressage. Both trot and tolt are easy for him, so we are working on cues and being able to maintain the gait, which all comes back to balance and self-carriage. His canter needs work so we'll be doing that, too. While not pacy, considering his parentage he is most likely five-gaited. He is not a high-energy horse, but nor is he a deadhead. He is alert on the trail and will stop to look at things, but shows no inclination to spin or bolt. He is cooperative and willing to please. Kjarkur has been kept barefoot with a Mustang Roll and has hard solid feet. However, for being ridden here on my hard rocky roads his owners have provided me with Renegade boots which I use on all four. He is current on shots, worming and having his teeth floated, and has been incredibly healthy. He is 13.2 hands with tall withers.

Floi fra Pegasus
|
Sire:
Tandri frá Pegasus Ranch Floi is a special horse that will choose his rider. He is looking for someone to bond with, and though he has confidence he is looking for leadership and must respect his rider or else he will take charge or pretend they don't exist.
For the right owner, Floi is a nice guy who has energy
but is easy to work with and willing to please. He usually comes when
I call him. He was badly started by cowboys at age four which has left him a
little hard in the mouth, but I restarted him summer 2005 and his trust and
responsiveness have improved greatly. He has basic dressage training,
which means he responds to leg yields and understands bending. He goes
very easily into tolt but it is not his preferred gait. He really moves out
at the walk with lots of power from the hind, has a smooth trot and also a
lovely slow canter. He is a comfortable height at 13.2 hands with a
wide strong build and feels very solid under the rider. I feel he could
carry larger riders comfortably. He is probably four gaited (no pace).
The only reason I am selling this horse is because I have too many and don't have time to give him the attention he deserves.

Gandi from Allen Crest
|
Price Reduced!
Sire: Segull frá Stóra-Hof (first prize stallion)
[Description given by his
owner] Gandi has been ridden for over 2
years. He is a natural tolter and is a smooth ride. He is calm and enjoys
going on trail rides. He would do great with an intermediate rider but would
be ok for a beginner. He is good around children. Around other geldings he
wants to be the one in charge, around people he is a love. He is just a
great trail horse and I think he could be trained to pull a cart. He is
really good around cars. The young lady that has been his trainer loves
riding him but he has had not gait training. He is being sold because the
owner no longer has time for horses.
He is approximately 13.1 hands tall.
His first prize sire is featured in the spring 2008 issue of Tolt News.

$3500 (Includes registration) |

Thror frá Alfasaga
Taken
August 18, 2005 |
Sire:
Kjarnar frá Kjarnholtum 1 (first prize stallion)
I started Thor
during the summer of 2005. He came to me off the range with little
handling and not much trust for people. However, over time he has
become much friendlier and more cooperative. He has had basic ground
work and is well started under saddle. He's been on a few trail rides but
not extensively. He is ready for more formal training and more miles,
which I will be doing this coming summer. He has very promising gaits and supple movements. I
remember him to be of average size, probably at least 13.1 hands. At
this stage I recommend someone with confidence and riding experience. |

Reykur frá Rivendell
|
Sire:
Gnupur frá Ytri-Kongsbakka
This colorful colt has
shown the basic four gaits, but could be five gaited. He
is a good jumper so could make a career of it. He is very friendly, but
respectful. Both parents are excellent trail horses with easy gait and
are much loved by their respective owners. He is currently just under 13.2 hands tall.
He's rubbed his mane out but there is no sign of eczema.
He got about 2 1/2 months training
this summer (2007).
Though somewhat insecure, he has excellent brakes (from bit, side pull or bitless bridle) and is very attentive to the rider. However, he does
need leadership from his rider and startles easily, though he has never
spun, bucked, reared or bolted. He spooks pretty much in place.
He offers
all five gaits under saddle, though trot is a more recent development.
His gaits are not quite
coordinated yet, but are getting steadier. I recommend a confident
rider with relaxed seat, good balance and adept use if aids.
Definitely not suitable for a novice or timid rider at this stage, but I
think he will be with miles and proper confidence building. |
