1) Tappi fra LoneStar -- only $12,000
(8 year old black gelding, with first prize for conformation):

Son of Gydja frá Víðimel & Hilmir fra Sauðárkróki (9.5 for flying pace)
First Prize Grandsires: Ofeigur frá Flugumyri & Stígandi frá Sauðárkróki
Both of which have Honor Prize for their offspring. Tappi is very well bred.

[ Tappi traces his roots back to Siða frá Sauðárkróki on both sides of
his parents. Hilmir's mother is Herva frá Sauðárkróki, a sister of Hervar
(father of Otur) and the grand daughter of Siða. Gyðja's father, Stígandi frá
Sauðárkróki, while half Kirkjubæ, is half Sauðárkróki, tracing
his roots to Siða, via his mother, Ösp, on both her paternal and maternal lines, via
Sörli frá Sauðárkróki and Siða's daughter, Kápa frá Sauðárkróki.
Gyðja's mother was sired by the 1st Prize stallion, Blakkur frá Kolkuósi, a son of
Honor Prize stallion, Hörður from Kolkuósi.]

Tappi is tolting very nicely now with many months of gait & competition gait training.
Tappi received an 8.04 (first prize) for conformation at an official evaluation 2008. :-)
Specifically, Tappi received an 8 for "neck-withers-shoulders", "back & croup",
"quality of legs", "hooves" and an 8.5 for both "proportions" and "mane & tail".
Hilmir is pictured below. Tappi is very five gaited and shows all gaits in the pasture.
I've been trimming Tappi's tail since he was about a year old, as it was dragging the
ground. His forelocks are already well below his eyes, just like his mother. He is a
very handsome horse. Tappi has completed his gait training. His tolt is clean with an
even beat. His gaites are rather smooth (after his mother Gydja) and he is very flexible
with a soft subtle back. His collected carriage is natural as it comes from his mother.
He's very soft in the mouth. Tappi is both quite smart and an excellent riding horse.
Tappi has a very stable mind and already makes an excellent trail riding buddy.
He has a lot of personality and he loves human interaction.
Tappi is beggining to assume an almost fatherly role in that he is beginning to take care of
his rider. Tappi is very five gaited and he has a very good flying pace.

If seriously interested, please inquire about his current price.
Tappi will only be sold to an good home. Tappi is a complete package that is hard to find
with all his very good qualities! Tappi's extensive training cost more than I am asking for
him. He is an exceptional horse at a very good price.

Tappi's lineage

Picture taken at real age of four.


Tappi definitely shows a lot of Hilmir, both in his conformation and movements.
Tappi is very smooth in his gaits and he is a very good riding horse.

Tappi is quite regal and graceful in motion ... he shows all gaits in the pasture.

This is Tappi's father: Hilmir fra Sauðárkróki [IS1992157001],
a first prize bay dun pinto Icelandic stallion with a 9.5 for flying pace.
He is the sire of both Sæta frá LoneStar & Tappi frá LoneStar.

2) Blíða frá LoneStar -- $8,000 (could be bred to Sjóli, cost is extra)
Ósk & Stefnir's offspring, April,2007: Blíða is a dark bay dun mare with a
small star Blíða is showing very good movements & has a unique dark dun color.
She is just over 4.5 years of real age & weighs close to 800 lb.
Blíða is out of one of my best broodmares in regard to temperament and being
reliable. Blíða is well bred & well built. She is a VERY STRONG FAST stout mare.
Blíða can trace her ancestry to both Hrafn frá Holtsmúla (stallion 802), through
both Sire & Dam, and to Siða frá Sauðárkróki through Stefnir.
Blíða is quite personable, but not pushy. She will be quite forward going. Under herself
she can be down right fiery. I've seen her flying around smoothly at high speeds just in a paddock.
Blíða is currently at the top of the pecking order for the young mares. Currently
Blíða is showing very fast powerful movements, including fast fluid trot & tolt.
I would expect her to have broad speed range eventually. Though at the moment, she seems to
be in hyperdrive. I just found this out when I started working with her in late January of 2012.
In canter/gallop, she walks with her hind legs. So I expect that she will be five gaited like her father.
Blíða does not show a lot of lateral movement yet. Neither did her mother at this age, but
with training, I'd expect that to change. Interestingly, she appears to have a very fast powerful tolt,
but not yet a slow one. She has a very fast trot and may go into tolt to go even faster and she can
literally fly when she wants to. She has not done this that often, but did it several times when I first
worked her in the arena last weekend. I did not work her long, but she never slowed down and I know
that she is not in condition, which for her may not matter.
She is a very attractive mare with a very nice overall conformation & top line.
"Blíða" means warmth, mildness and/or love.
Picture below taken near her 4th birthday. Blíða is ready to start her initial training.
She will only be sold to good home.
You can best judge her color by the second picture. She has somewhat of a unique dark golden
color w/black-brown. She received "bay dun" from Ósk and the darkened color from Stefnir.
I think she would go exceedingly well by a breeding with Sjóli. Such an offspring would have
very good conformation and well above average talent. That breeding is not included in this price.

Blíða's lineage

She has a powerful croup ... definately a dun .... you can see the lightness in her mane.

Sjóli, could be bred to either Blíða or Ljúfa (below)

3) Ljúfa frá LoneStar -- $8,000 (could be bred to Sjóli, cost is extra)
Elja & Stefnir's offspring, 4-9-07: Ljúfa is a chestnut dun mare with a very
defined eel stripe, a flaxen/silverish mane, a large star and a small snip. A "snip"
means that she has a recessive "pinto gene" and if bred to a pinto stallion then a
pinto offspring is fairly likely. As her father is a pinto, this is not surprising.
She is over 4.5 years old and weighs about 800 lb. In gallop, she walks with her hind
legs. So I suspect that she will be five gaited like her mother & father.
Ljúfa is reminding me a lot of Sæta at this age. She is always in the middle
of the action and in motion. She has a very active easy going personalty. Though in playing with
other horses, she can be fiery at times. She has the most developed sense of humor
of any mare that I've ever seen. Ljúfa means "mild & gentle one".
Ljúfa's mother, Elja is out of the Kolkuos line, pure Kolkuos & Svadastadir.
She traces her lineage to the following stallions/mare: Hörður frá Kolkuósi,
Lettir frá Kolkuósi, Stigandi frá Kolkuósi, Rauður frá Kolkuósi
Kristall frá Kolkuósi, Hrafn frá Holtsmúla, Fengur frá Ibisholi
and the famous first prize Honor mare Siða frá Sauðárkróki.
Mares from this old and well respected breeding line like this are very hard to find
these days. In my opinion, they are quite valuable as breeding stock due to their quality.
She is a very personable and responsive. She is long legged and barrel chested. Ljúfa has
a really nice top line, along with her croup and neck, typical of Stefnir's offspring.
Stefnir has a 8.5 for walk. Ljúfa's walk is at least that good. Her stride is long & extended,
but not rushed. Ljúfa is ready to start her initial training now. She is for sale, to a good home only.
She is still in her winter coat in this picture & looks thicker & heavier than she really is.
New pictures are coming when I have time.

4) Tjaldari frá LoneStar -- $7,500
Tjaldari is an easy going young horse sired by our stallion, Stefnir and foaled by our mare Ósk.
Tjaldari can trace his ancestry to both Hrafn frá Holtsmúla (stallion 802) through
both Sire & Dam, and to Siða frá Sauðárkróki through our Stefnir.
This is a very nice young stout dark blood (RED) chestnut gelding with very nice conformation. He
is the most lateral moving offspring that we had yet seen out of either Stefnir or Ósk.
He has been tolting since day one. He is 5 gaited. Tjaldari has a well raised head/neck, attractive face
broad back, nice shoulders and a 5 gaited croup.
"Tjaldari" is an ancient word from the 'Snorra-Edda' (1220ad) that means a 'tolting horse'.
T.J. is becoming a really very SWEET boy, typical of Osk's offspring.
TJ follows in the path of his father & his grandfather, in that his natural gait is tolt,
with a clean beat under any conditions, no shoes, out of shape etc ... seriously.
Real natural tolters are just not that common, from our experience. TJ is going to make an
exceptionally good riding horses with very smooth natural gaits. If you want a five gaited
pleasure horse, TJ would make a good friend. He has a VERY sweet personality and is not bothered by
much. First trailer loading took maybe 10 minutes, 2nd one less than 5 minutes.
He is for sale to the right home only. He is a full blood brother to Blíða (above).

5) Lakota frá LoneStar -- $7,500
Harpa & Stefnir's pinto colt arrived, 6/9/09. Lakota is very active and is very five gaited.
Lakota is very brave and comes right up to us. He is a VERY TALL boy for his age, which is not
all that surprising considering Harpa is well over 14 hands. Lakota is already near 14 hands.
Lakota has a rather striking appearance. He's predominately white with a black head/shoulders and tail,
with one black spot on his back, which will not show under saddle. Lakota has a rather refined
build, with a refined well raised neck, an attractive head & face. Lakota is a bit of a fireball.
He is rarely still and he is very FAST and very ACTIVE. He plays with Stefnir & Tjaldari constantly, at
times chasing them in a full gallop and/or pace. He is not sensitive (actually fearless), just very active.
He is very active and is absolutely fearless (even in dealing with mature stallions). Lakota chases
them in the process of engaging them in stallion play. Lakota's grandfather was one of the hottest
stallions ever in Iceland. Lakota is also very good natured and easy to deal with on the ground.
Note: that fence behind him is well over five feet tall. If you are looking for a tall, active, goey,
fast and quite attractive five gaited boy, then Lakota would be a very good candidate. All these
characteristics in one horse is not the norm and a large fast 5 gaited male like this is highly
desirable by folks that enjoy quite a bit more excitement in their mount. Tall (long legged) horses
like Lakota have a broader (faster) speed range than most Icelandics with shorter legs. I do not
expect to ever have another one like this
! The picture below is not very representative. Lakota is
a good looking boy and is for sale to the right home only. He could be gelded next year. Winter picture
with thick sheep like hair. New pictures will come later.

6) Cheyenne frá LoneStar -- $8,000
The pinto mare of Rut frá Litlagarði & Stefnir frá Staðartungu was born 2009.
She is predominately white with black markings, much like Lakota. Cheyenne is a beautiful long
legged & strong mare. Cheyenne is quite active and is very five gaited. She has very good conformation
and movements. I would even say that Cheyenne is also a very attractive young mare.
Grandsires: Fengur frá Ibisholi and Markús frá Langholtsparti.
Markús has First Prize for offspring and Fengur is a World Tolt Champion.
Both of these stallions have a 9.0 for tolt!
She traces her lineage to the following Honor Prize stallions: Þáttur frá Kirkjubæ,
Orri frá Þúfu, Hrafn frá Holtsmúla, 1st Prize Otur frá Sauðárkróki
and the famous 1st Prize Honor mare Siða frá Sauðárkróki
(from which she traces her rather unique color).
Like her mother (Rut), Cheyenne will be a powerful broad chested & broad backed mare. She is the
largest of the 2.5 year olds. See Rut under "Mares". Rut is competition quality, and I'd expect Cheyenne
to follow suit with even more pace and natural lateral movements. Cheyenne is for sale to the right home only.
Cheyenne has an interesting white "queston mark" under her throat.
New pictures will come soon.

Stúlka frá LoneStar - $5,000
The sweet filly of Ósk frá Árholti & our 4 gaited stallion, Sjóli frá LoneStar, 7/18/2011
Stúlka is the same color as Ósk. Technically, she is a Bleikálóttur, meaning a "light bay dun".
This is Ósk's first light bay dun filly since the birth of Sæta in 2002. Krunur was also a light bay dun.
I suspect that she will be 4 gaited, as are her parents. Stúlka is a very good looking large filly with
strong shoulders, long legs & with a refined raised neck & attractive head.
I would venture that this could be Ósk's offspring with the best conformation so far. All her offspring are
very good looking. Ósk has 2 offspring out of 1st prize stallions, but Stúlka may end up surprising.
After a week, her legs are mostly straightened out, so hopefully some better pictures can be taken soon.
Stúlka is beginning to show movements very much like Sjóli, both wide and long.
Stúlka is for sale. She will be weaned at the end of January.
