While most of the spotlight goes to the stallions...and rightly so - they are amazing...
We want to introduce some of our less known Broodmares...who's offspring already impress!

Starting with Gloria from Vindsdalur

She got the Best Young Horse of North America Award just a month old...
And a bit of Primadonna additude...but her fast toelt with wide reaching movements makes it all worth it..

Her daughter Ros from Vindsdalur will stay in our Breeding program and
Oskar from Vindsdalur will soon be a breed ambassador in PEI ..
Both got really favorable scores and judgements in last year's Young Horse Evaluation.

Now Gloria is back in being a riding horse waiting for Valinn from Vindsdalur return from Kentucky and hopefully got another Valinn foal next year...
This should be exciting...

It's exciting to watch the development of our 5 year old boy Kafteinn.
He is back in training after a long winter and everything from Toelt, basic gaits, balance and speed is impressive now!
He will be a promising Competition horse and can be available by the end of this fall..

Our talented Intern Madita is accepted to Holar!
We are thrilled! And very happy for her.

And since we consider her part of the family...she is the SECOND one from Vindsdalur!
Jelena being the first and only Canadian.

Madita is here over the summer starting horses with us.
Stay tuned!

To get a real idea of Valinn's breeding qualities we showed his offspring last summer in a
Young Horse Evaluation here in Nova Scotia and the results were really promising!

This year it was Valinn's turn!
He had been shown in a few Sport Competitions so far, but it was his first full Breeding Evaluation at Harmony Icelandics last weekend.
In short...he did well!

He is now a 1.price for conformation Stallion and probably the only canadian bred Stallion with a 10 for mane and tail...
yes...all his offspring get that mane!..

In Rideability some of our expectations were not met...when are they ever! ? ...
Yet he got 8.5 for Galopp and lots of 8s where his still developing qualities did show!
The judges mentioned how much room to grow there still is for him!
He also impressed with strong workethics even in rather hot temperatures and endlessly offering his best.

His rider and trainer Carrie Lyons Brandt did an amazing job presenting him for Conformation and Rideability and we are soo grateful for the entire Taktur Icelandic Horses, LLC team and their effort!
Could not ask for more...

Valinn is soon on his way home to Vindsdalur in Nova Scotia and will meet his girls.
There should be some very elastic and toelting foals with tons of mane next year!

Carrie Lyons Brandt sent me photos from Valinn's show this month, and of course they are gorgeous and I can't pick a favorite.

So it's out to vote!
Which one is your favorite?

Valinn is still in Kentucky till mid June, in case you think to use him for your mare. After that he will be available again at our place in Nova Scotia!

We are very happy to announce that our talented, hard working and overall fabulous Intern Madita Zilien will be back at Vindsdalur this summer! Big Yeah!

Madita added another year of training experience in Iceland to her already impressive Resumee and will go back to Iceland in September. But from mid June to mid August she will be offering a small amount of training spots here at Vindsdalur!

If you need Toelt training or a refresher for your horse in every aspect...you best get in touch with us!
