She is about 13.2HH Her sire is 1st prize Ölnir frá Akranesi, one of the worlds highest judged Icelandic stallions with a combined sore of 8.82 and 9.09 for ridden abilities. Her dam, Mánadís frá Hríshóli 1, is also 1st prize with a combined score of 8.22 for conformation and ridden abilities. She has not yet been trained for riding and has raised some super nice foals. She will be bred to Glymur fra Ásholti for a 2025 foal. He is a super handsome bay splash stallion with a blup of 125 who has a promising show career ahead of him. We look forward to having her trained for riding in 2026.

YOUNG HORSES/FOALS
Icelandic Horse - Dýna from Chippewa Acres
Dýna is a uniquely marked black splash tobiano Icelandic horse filly born 6/09/2022. She is brave, curious, and friendly. She shows tolt in the pasture and is homozygus for gait, so it is possible she could also have flying pace. Her sire is Seifur frá Háleggsstöðum and her dam is Brynja from Northstar. She carries one copy of splash white and tobiano. Her sire and dam are both about 13.1, I expect her to mature at least as tall as they are if not a bit taller. She was measured on 07/24/2024 at almost 13.3HH
