A joke that has been roaming the internet for the last few days

Better than breakfast at Tiffany’s?  The buckskin is Jódís, she is boarded here for one of our customers and friends.

Ísafold from Langhusum, father is Kjarni from Auðsholtshjáleigu (world champion in breeding horses, 4-gaited, evaluated with 8.50) and mother is Gladning from Stangarholti (7.93).

IS2007258035 – Veröld frá Langhúsum is 5 years old, has been started under saddle and ridden on the trail for a couple of months. Her father is IS2002158466 – Háttur frá Þúfum which is evaluated with 8.68 (8,61 for conformation and 8,73 for talents, with f.ex. 9 for tolt), he has been a top class competition horse in T2, 5-gait competition, and A-flokkur (5-gait gaedingakeppni). Her mother was 4-gaited with 7.57 in main score (was not trained a lot when she was evaluated). Her mother has had 2 older daughters that have been evaluated, and they were after stallions with just 8 in main score, but those mares (same mother) have 7.70 and 7.73 in main score. Verold has 108 in Blup. She has easy gaits, is smooth to ride on with good footlift, a very promising mare for competition and breeding evaluations. Price 500.000 isk (ca. 3 300 EUR, ca. 4 300 $).

Our Skrudda (purebred Icelandic sheep dog) went to a dog show in November and got these remarks:
12 months old. Good size. Nice shape. Ex. strong muzzle. Correct stop. A bit too low set ears and wide. Nice neck front + topline. Normal angul. Ex. substance in body + bone. Nice colour. Good coat. Moves very typical. Well handled.

Ex. 2. place in group. Champion prospect.

So we are happy

Gullfoss from Langhusum is born at our farm, raised here and then moved to Germany.  Gullfoss is with a very nice pedigree, his father Hnokki from Þúfum is evaluated with 8.59 and a super competition record, his mother evaluated with 7.70 and did well in competitions too.  Gullfoss enjoys his new life with his loving owner, and we love to hear news about him

One day in October, we went out to the stables, and saw a snow avalance in the mountains. It’s ok, nobody lives by that mountain, and the animals don’t like so much snow so there are no sheep nor horses there Just pretty
