Overview  2012 Training and competition

Here below is a overview, from the spring, and summer, of events and shows Kjartansstaðir participated in, 

Kjartansstaðir Breeding show at Landsmót

 In our first year, of coming back into showmanship, and competition, we have had a good year!

Our goal was mainly to do a well as possible training, and getting the horses ready, getting into practice  again. 


But in the end we did well, five horses from our breeding received 1 prize, and two 4 year old mares
, promising 2 prize scores, they will be seen next year!

 First competition, winter advent, in Töft,  and Töru-Glóð nr. 1
we had two mares in that competition, Dimmblá also, both in the finals.

Töru-Glóð frá Kjartansstöðum

Next,  one of the first breeding shows of the year, there Dimmblá was among the highest scoring mares,

Received 8,33, overall score. In the six year old mares.

Next up was, a breeding show at Hella, there Töru-Glóð, got her 1 prize, a four gaited mare, six years old, 8, 13

So having only two six-year-old mares, from our farm, we get a 100% score, with 1 prize.

At the same show, at Hella, we also showed our Stallion Keimur, his score was 8,10 and 1 prize.

In the same week, there is a breeding show at Miðfossar, in the west part of Iceland, to that show we transported 

Three young mares, Unun five years old, and two, at the age of four; Rebekka and Náttfríður.

Unun reseived 1 prize, highest score, of that show, 8,32 ! next highest score of a five year old mare to the Landsmót”

The two four year old mares, second prize, Rebekka 7,93 and a ticket to Landsmót, Náttfríður  was not ready enough,

Her time will come! Very promising mare.

Then we come to Selfoss again, this time bringing our sixteen year old, Töfri, been in training at Kjartansstaðir, for most  Part of the winter, 
Viðar Ingólfsson rides him in T1, and gets a ticket to the Landsmót.

At the Landsmót, Töfri makes a big mistake, in the primary’s, and is out of finals.

Dimmblá betters her score, getting 9,0 for tölt, and ends in 6 place.

Unun did not as well as in the spring, ends, 9 place.

Rebekka we felt did good, well enough to get many offers, from fans wanting to own her!

Kjartansstaðir also had a breeding show, We were very  mistrustful that is was a good idea,

But being urged by many of our friends, we took on the challenge, despite having no horses,  with any experience, the group very young, four-five and six year old horses, except Töfri!


Many thanks for the great showmanship

To the riders how contributed, and helped us

With the breeding show.

Later in the summer our trainers, started getting some horses through their first competition experience.
