Breeding
We breed our horses at a farm in S-Iceland that is called Efrahvol and is 100 km or about a 1 1/2 hours drive from Reykjavik. Efrahvol goes all the way down to one of the best Salmon (Lax) fishing river in Iceland "Rangá" which has exquisite beauty of nature all around. The farm is 800 ha which is great for the horses, because we believe that it plays a big part in their endurance and quality that the horses can run free and play in a big space from birth.

The stallions we have been using for the last few years are: Sólon from Hóli, Glampi from Bjargarkoti, Ljótur from Langholtsparti, Hugi from Hafsteinsstöðum, Ófeigur from Þorláksstöðum, Hrymur from Hofi, Þristur from Feti, Segull from Sörlatungu and Sirkus from Efra Hvoli.

The Wonderful Five Gaits of the Icelandic Horse:
1.- Walk, an even four-beat cadence, moving each foot independently. 2.- Trot, a two-beat gait, with the front and back legs on opposite sides moving together. 3.- Canter, a three-beat gait, also called gallop. 4.- Tolt, an amazingly smooth four-beat travelling gait, where all four feet move in the same pattern as in the walk, with higher action and more speed. This gait is often performed with full mugs of beer. 5.- The Flying Pace, a two-beat gait where front and hind legs on the same side move forward and back at the same time. This can go up to 35 mph! The gait of the gods!
