Breeding
Andrá frá Egilsseli 2012, here with the little Ósk,
sire: Óskasteinn frá Íbishóli
We are very small breeders, so we usually have one or two foals each year. Our main breeding mare was Andrá frá Egilsseli, born1994, D: Tinna frá Borgargerði (RA: 7,83, at 5 years/four gaits) S: Kolfinnur frá Kvíarhóli (RE : 8,61). Before we started breeding her, Andrá was a wonderful riding and tour horse: full of spirit, very delicate reacting, downright sure-footed, light-footed and flexible, moreover extensive in all gaits with a very good tölt up to a very fast speed. Her 8 descendents seem all to have inherited András good character, her fine reactions and commitment. Breaking the old enough ones and handling the younger ones hasn't shown any problems at all.
The sires we used have all been from very interesting breeding lines and some have been valid and well-known breeding stallions.
Andrá has been in well-deserved retirement since 2016 and we use other mares for breeding, whereby we particularly value smooth gaits, a lot of tölt disposition and reliability with regard to the riding tours.
András first foal was Gerpla, black, born 2005, S: Hróður frá Refsstöðum (prized for offspring, RA: 8,69). Gerpla also has produced six beautiful, promising foals: Geisli ( 2009 ), Gáski ( 2012 ) , Bjarmi ( 2014 ), Perla ( 2020 ), Draumey ( 2021 ) and Hrannar ( 2022 )
The next foals of Andrá were: Jarl, grey (born 2006, S: Klettur frá Hvammi ( RA: 8,54), SS: Gustur frá Hóli (prized for offspring) and Hrafn, black (born 2007, S: Sveinn Hervar frá Þúfu (RE: 8,38 four gaits), SS: Orri frá Þúfu (prized for offspring). Both are wonderful, fine, and very easy to ride riding-, working- and riding-tour horses with potential for competition.
