2014 has in many ways been a great year for us, both in breedingshows and in competitions, much of what we wanted to do, our aims worked out. And I think that so far this is our best year on the breeding track. We showed 18 horses and 17 of them recieved 1. price, and half of the horsses, 9, were 4 gaters. Many of the horses got great judgements, and 9 of the showed horses got from 10,0 to 9,0 for tölt.The average score for all the horses was 8,7 for tölt. 8,4 for trot, 8,9 for spirit and 8,6 for form under rider. The average score for the 9 horses who showed pace was 8,0, but only one of our horses, Jörmuni, recieved 9,0 for pace.

Álfhildur 6 years old, got 10,0 for tölt, and three of our mares got 9,5 for slow tölt, Álfhildur and Katla 6 years old and Álfastjarna 4 years old. Frami 7 and Katla 6 years old got 9,0 for slow tölt. Eight of our horses recieved 9,0 for tölt, Álffinnur and Frami 7 years old , Katla 6, Tíbrá, Snekkja and Bóla 5 and Álfastjarna and Goði 4 years old.

Álfhildur 6 got 10,0 for spirit and her little sister Álfastjarna 4 years old got 9,5. Eight horses gor 9,0 for spirit, Álffinnur og Frami 7, Katla and Sylgja 6, Tíbrá og Bóla 5 and Goði 4 years old.

Álfhildur got 9,5 for form under rider and Frami 7,Katla and Sylgja 6, Álfarinn and Tíbrá 5 and Álfastjarna 4 years old got 9,0.

Two of our horses recieved 9,5 for walk, Frami 7 and Álfastjarna 4 years old. Jörmuni got 9,0. Three horses got 9,0 for canter, Katla and Sylgja 6 and Álfarinn 5 years old.

 Álffinnur got a good start as a breedinghorse, he is only 7 years old and two of his oldest offsprings Vinátta and Goði only four years old, got 1. price. With some great notes for gates, Goði got 9,0 fot tölt and spirit and Vinátta got 8,5 for tölt, 9,0 for canter and 9,5 for walk.

Our first price of honor mares did great as well, Álfadís had five offsprings and Ljónslöpp four offsprings participating at Landsmót, both in competitions and breeding classes.

At Landsmót three of our breedenghorses were in the top ten, Álfildur won the class of six years old mares with 8,52. Snekkja was in the forth place in the group og five years old mares and Álfastjarna was in the seventh position in the group of four years old mares.

 We also had our best year in competitions, horses from our breed managed to be eight times in the top 10 in the masters league(Meistaradeildin). We are very proud of that, the league is very tough and some of the best riders and horses came to compete.

Álfhildur won Gæðingafimi(freestyle) with the highest score given, Fálmar got second place in V1 fourgate and Frami was second in T2, tölt on loose ranes.

Simbi won T2 in the masters league of north Iceland with Elvar Einarsson as a rider.

Elin won the adult class at Sleipnir's wintercup by winning all three competitions in tölt, riding Katla and Frami.

At the open World Ranking competition held by Sleipnir, Bergur won pacetest riding Minning, Elin won V1 riding Frami, I was in second place in T1 riding Sprengja, Bergur in second place in F1 fivegate riding Strokkur and Brynja in second place in young adults class in fourgate riding Spes.

Elin and Frami won Sleipnir's qualification for Landsmót in B flokkur with a great score, therefor leaving the Landsmót winner in second place, even tho things didn't really work out at Landsmót it looked very promising.
Brynja won young adults and both qualifications riding Sprengja at the same competition.

At Landsmót we had two representatives in finals, Brynja and Sprengja went straight to A finals in young adults class and got the fifth place and Ísólfur Líndal rode B finals on Gandálfur frá Selfossi in A flokkur.

At the Icelandic championship Elin and Frami came in third in V1 fourgate.

Suðurlandsmót(South Iceland competition) also went well, three wins. Two in masters class, Fálmar won V1 and Frami won T2. Sylgja the won opend class V1 in her first competition.

Our breed has also done well this year in other countries, Mara Staubli won F1 and came in third in T2 at the Swiss Campionship along with second place in F1 and B-finals in T2 at the Mid-European championship.

Our goals in 2014 were to get higher breeding show judgments and make our horses visible on the competition tracks, we are proud to say that we stood by our goals. As for next year we plan to do the same and better. By that I mean getting an even higher percentage of our horses to breeding shows and competitions.
