Esja frá LoneStar
The very first filly ever born to our Gydja frá Víðimel, sired by our Stefnir, born 8/30/09.
I have waited at least four years for this little filly. Esja will be five gaited.
Esja is already showing a clean tolt within days of her birth.
This is one very precious cute sweet little filly! She has lots of tolt!
Esja is quite active and is very five gaited. She has very good conformation
(BLUP 105) and movements. I would even say that Esja is a very attractive young mare.
Grandsires: Fengur frá Ibisholi and Stígandi frá Sauðárkróki.
Stígandi has honor prize for his offspring & Fengur is a World Tolt Champion.
She also traces her lineage to the following stallions/mare: Þáttur frá Kirkjubæ,
Sörli frá Sauðárkróki, Hörður frá Kolkuósi, Blakkur frá Kolkuósi,
Hrafn frá Holtsmúla and the famous first prize honor mare Siða frá Sauðárkróki
(from which she traces her rather unique color, side panels & vertical rump stripes).
This is a quite refined, nimble and prancy young filly, who will replace her most beloved mother.

Ræna frá LoneStar
Ræna is the very pretty filly of our Elja (Kolkuos/Svadastadir mare) and Stefnir, arrived 7/23/09.
She has a rather stout yet refined conformation & is quite active. She's a chestnut dun filly,
with a small star. I'm quite impressed with this filly, and am inclined to keep her to eventually
replace her mother as a broodmare from the Kolkuos line. I was so impressed with Ræna that I
decided to breed her mother (Elja) to a first prize stallion, for a foal in 2010. Ræna is
very flexible just like her full blood sister, Ljúfa, born in 2007.
She traces her lineage to the following stallions/mare: Hörður frá Kolkuósi,
Lettir frá Kolkuósi, Stigandi frá Kolkuósi, Rauður frá Kolkuósi
Kristall frá Kolkuósi (9.5 for tolt), Hrafn frá Holtsmúla, Fengur frá Ibisholi
and the famous first prize honor mare Siða frá Sauðárkróki.
Ræna is a very attractive young mare w/nice conformation, long flaxen mane & an attractive face/head.

legged girl. Cheyenne is quite active and is very five gaited. She has very good conformation
(BLUP 105) and movements. I would even say that Cheyenne is also a very attractive young mare.

Lakota frá LoneStar
Harpa & Stefnir's pinto colt has 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 suprising considering Harpa is well over 14 hands. At three months of age, he already
within about 2 hands of the backs of my older mares, who are over 13 hands in height! He is TALL!
Lakota has a rather striking appearance. He's predominately white with a black head and tail,
with one black spot on his back, which will not show under saddle. Pics to come soon.
Lakota's lineage
Tjaldari frá LoneStar
Tjaldari, a young gelding 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 Stefnir.
This is a very nice young stout compact blood chestnut stallion with very good conformation.
He is the most lateral moving offspring that we have yet seen out of either Stefnir or Ósk.
Tjaldari has been tolting since he was just hours old. TJ is definitely 5 gaited.
He is for sale to the right home only. "Tjaldari" is an ancient word from the
'Snorra-Edda' (circa 1220 AD) that means a 'tolting horse'. He is a very proud
young horse with very nice movements, aka T.J. is a little race horse! :-) At 24 months,
he's about 650+lb. 1st picture below was taken at age of about 12 hours. Tjaldari's temperament
is exceptionally good. He is very easy to deal with as he enjoys interacting with people.
His natural gait is Tolt. If moving faster, he may trot, gallop or pace. He shows all gaits.

Sjóli frá LoneStar
Sjóli is out of Þra frá Akureyri and Tígull frá Gygjarhóli, arrived 5-26-07, a pretty dark red
bay (dark buckskin leather like) four gaited stallion. This is a very well bred young stallion.

Sjóli's father, Tígull, is one of the highest evaluated four gaited stallion in the world,
8.60 overall. 8.65 for conformation. 9.5 for tolt & trot. 9.0 for gallop, spirit, appearance under rider.
Like his sire, Sjóli is four gaited. He is a quite promising young stallion. He is worth close
consideration for almost any breeding program. We intend to start using Sjóli at LoneStar in 2010.
Sjóli has a very attractive front end, including his chest, long raised arched neck, refined
head and rather pretty face. His friendly personality and good temperament match his appearance.
Sjóli means: "king, duke". The King may yet emerge, but the DUKE has definitely arrived! ;-)
Sjóli has a conformation BLUP of 112, with a 112 for both proportions and tolt (BLUP for 2007).
Sjóli has become a beautiful & powerful young stallion prospect. His gaits are exceptional, as
this boy can literally Prance & DANCE! He is for breeding, and is NOT for sale. Pics taken at age 3.
Sjóli is available for breeding in Texas now. At nearly 3 years, he is now taller and leaner than
in the pictures below. I'll take more pictures as I have time.

Blíða frá LoneStar
Ósk & Stefnir's filly, April,2007: Blíða frá LoneStar, a dark bay dun mare with a
small star Blíða is showing very good movements & has a unique dark dun color.
She is 3 years of age & weighs close to 700 lb. Blíða is for sale.
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 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 a bit forward going.
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, along with
some gaiting. I expect her to be five gaited with a broad speed range. She is a very attractive
mare with a very nice overall conformation & top line. "Blíða" means warmth,
mildness and/or love. Picture below taken on her birthday. She will only be sold to good home.

Ljúfa frá LoneStar
Elja & Stefnir's filly, 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.
She is 3 years old and weighs around 700lb. She is always in motion.
Ljúfa & Stássa (the red heads) are often galloping around the pasture.
She has a very nice prancy trot with nice lift and she is very forward going.
Ljúfa is reminding me a lot of Sæta at this age. She is always in the middle
of the action and has a very active easy personalty. "Ljúfa" means mild and 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.
Well bred Kolkuos mares like this are very hard to find these days and they are quite
valuable as breeding stock due to their quality. My farrier, who is British and
served a four year apprenticeship to become certified, commented on how flexible
Ljúfa is. She is a very personable and responsive, though at times she can be outright
fiery out in the pasture. Her sister Blíða can be the same way. Both are out of Stefnir.
As Ljúfa has aged, she is getting taller than the other young mares. She has a
really nice top line, along with her croup and neck, typical of Stefnir's offspring.
She is noticably better looking than her mother, Elja. She will be taller and leaner,
with a more attractive head. Ljúfa is very active and always in motion.
Ljúfa will be for sale to an acceptable home.
Picture below taken a few days after her birth. More will be comeing when the rain stops.

Tappi is very five gaited and shows all gaits in the pasture.
I've been trimming Tappi's tail since before he was 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 boy.
Tappi has a very stable mind and is not bothered by much.
Tappi received an 8.04 (first prize) for conformation at an official evalution 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".
