This colt was born May 30^th, dam is Ör frá Ketilsstöðum and sire is Sveinn-Hervar frá Þúfu wich makes him a full brother of Gígur frá Ketilsstöðum who we think is a very promising 4 gater. Gígur was presented in the group of 4 year old stallions at the breeding show at Landsmót last year, with a total score of 8,18. 
As I write this I realize it's been 20 years since I first bread a mare to Sveinn-Hervar, I first saw Sveinn-Hervar in a breeding show and called his rider Vignir Siggeirsson and asked him if I could come and see him live, then I had the pleasure if ride him. The foal was born before a realized that Svenn-Hervar hadn't reached 1^st price yet. Many great offsprings and descendants from him have been born here since then.

These pictures are of Alda Ólafsdóttir and her yearling, a filly named Gullborg, sired by Álfgrímur frá Syðri-Gegnishólum and Mynd frá Haukatungu 1 Syðri. There already exists a full sister to Gullborg named Eldborg, who is already doing well in competitions. Last spring Eldborg won the T2 tölt with loose rains in the Masters League in the West. Alda has grown a lot since she came to me to ask to breed with her favorite horse Álfgrímur. It looks like her choice was a good one.

This filly was born 24^th of May, dam is Védís frá Hellubæ and sire is Sveinn-Hervar frá Þúfu. Védís who is 4 gaited (CA). Védís received 8,06 as a total score when she was five years old. 9.0 for tölt, slow tölt, galop, spirit, expression and 9,5 for canter. Sveinn-Hervar is an excellent 4 gated competition horse father, so it will be exiting to see what the future brings for her.

On my way home after a week in Sweden competing Álffinur, the luck was not with me this time, everytime I competed him is was raining and sometimes more than that. The track could not handle the water, so very deep and muddy on the worst. A pitty on a great place with all the facilities and well arranged tournament with a good atmosphere as well. 
Today the weather was much better though, and Álffinnur was starting to show what he can. Thank you all, it was very nice to spend time with you all.
