We quite like the looks of Farsæll so we decided to show him for conformation. Ingólfur shoed him and I combed and shined before we brought him to Torfunes as they'd teach him how to stand right and how to behave when the judges have a good look. Erlingur showed him for us and everything went fine. My biggest sorrow was, that he's maybe behave stupidly as he is still so young, just 4 years old. But he stood like a rock when he was measured and his testicles checked eventhough it was a new place, a lot of horses around and a lot going on. 
Then Erlingur and Bensi went to show him to the judges, which had a very close look at him, touching him here and there. I think it's quite a hard job to judge so many different horses in short time. He did fine and behaved very well in the huge riding hall in Akureyri. 
Farsæll got an overall score for conformation of 7,92 with 8,5 for neck, which is definitely not so bad ;-) We had hoped for a bit better judgement, but he is still growing and things might look completely different next time!
Afterwards we took a small detour and had a look at 4 foals of Farsæll, born just a few days ago. 1 of them was a black and white pinto with a star, 1 black with 4 socks and a star, 1 reddun with at least 1 sock and a blaze and the last one pure black. It was nice to see these little fellows running around on tölt and trott, having fun teasing their mums. I attach some pics of them.
