Now that this breeding evaluation season has come to an end, it’s fun to look at the results.
This year 18 horses from our breed were breeding evaluated with good results. 17 of them 1st prized and one below. Exactly half of them were shown as four gaiters, with 5.0 for pace. It’s fun to mention that nine of these eighteen horses have both mothers and fathers bred by us.
16 were evaluated in Iceland and 2 in Germany. 9 of those who were shown in Iceland qualified for Landsmót, but we decided to show 7 of them there.
These 7 horses were shown at Landsmót and 4 of them were in the top 10 of their class. Álfarinn received 8.63 and the 7th place in the class of 7 years and older stallions, Álfastjarna received 8.43 and the 8th place in the class of 6 years old mares, Álfgrímur received 8.46 and the 6th place in the class of 5 years old stallions and Huldumær received 8.29 and the 4th place in the class of 4 years old mares.
We showed four 4 years old mares this year and all of them got 1st prize which we believe is very good.
It’s also worth mentioning the outstanding success of Álfadís frá Selfossi that achieved having offsprings in all 4 age groups in breeding classes at Landsmót. All of them were in top 10 in their class and two of them four gaited. Her son Álffinnur frá Syðri-Gegnishólum also received 1st prize for offspring and the second place at Landsmót.
Another thing that was very special is that 24% of horses in breeding classes qualified for Landsmót could be traced to Álfadís, only 16 years ago she herself was a star at Landsmót in Reykjavík four years old.
Her son Álfarinn frá Syðri-Gegnishólum was our highest judged horse this year and started off well as a breeding stallion when his oldest and only offspring born in 2012, Lygna received 8.02 in total 4 years old.
The average of our 18 horses for conformation is 8.21, for ridden abilities 8.30 and 8.27 in total. The average age is 5.5 years and 17 of 18 1st prized.
