Our lambs are being born this week. We have 14 ewes and one ram, so our sheep farm is more for pleasure than anything else. But, 13 ewes have had their lambs now, a total of 24 lambs. We love colors in our animals, and have now every possible color in our little group (grey, black, chocolate brown, goltott (light body with colored face, feet and belly), botnott (dark body with light belly), dropott (polka dots), and pinto spots – we even have one white sheep, just for the variation).
We put new gravel in the outdoor pen that the sheep have, and the whole family helps with distributing the gravel. The puppy, Skrudda, watches enthusiastically, she loves the baby lambs, but does not intrude in any way, just spends her day on a little hill beside the pen, admiring the youngsters. The horses do the same. The lambs are admired by everybody.
The sheep with the huge horns, that’s our ram. He is just 1 year old, and his horns will only grow bigger as he matures.
I have just been visiting many farms in the area, and photographed many young colorful mares that are for sale, both pinto, roan, silver dapple and splash carriers. Feel free to contact me for more information. Here are some sample pictures.
Sæla is a really fun mare, suited for demos, for breeding, as a fun family horse, and just everything. She is very experienced, courageous, and has been trained and ridden a lot. She is for sale, and you can see a video of her here, without weighted boots, look at our sale page for more information.
There was a show the other day that Heimir, our 12 year old son, participated in. He did a musical ride with a group of children and teenagers. We took a video of the musical ride, Heimir is riding on Elva, a black mare with a long thick mane, and is the last one when they come in, then he’s sometimes first, as the musical ride evolves. Have fun and see the video here.
Ylur is a wonderful family horse prospect, a gelding that is on our sales page. We have just uploaded a video of him, that we took a couple of days ago.
 
Our sons, Heimir (12 yo) and Orri Sigurbjörn (6 yo) are enjoying riding. Life is good on horseback. They are both on Elva from Langhusum.
A wonderful 5 year old minimal pinto (skäck / broget / piebald) mare for sale, Æska from Langhusum. Both parents are evaluated, 4-gaited, with 8 / 8.5 / 9 for the basic gaits (tolt, trot, canter/gallop). Æska has good energy, loves to tolt but has easy tolt and trot, and is a nice fun riding horse for the experienced rider now, has the potential for being a novice rider horse when she has more experience. Both parents have been successful at competitions, in 4-gait and tolt. Æska tolts and trots and has been ridden in some traffic, with running dogs and in variating surroundings. She is pinto, does not have a lot of white on her but can throw babies with more white. She is very friendly, trailer loads, is used to children on the ground, easy to shoe. This is an easy horse to train more, or to use as a nice broodmare.
Price 500.000 isk (ca. 3000 EUR).
