Foalshow in Saltvík

Yesterday the annual foalshow of the local Horsebreederassociation took place in Saltvík. Fridayafternoon everything was prepared, a showring built, programs printed and the "coffehouse" set up.
As Sigtýr and Embla were supposed to take part in it, we walked them and their mothers up to the stable. Both enjoyed to run over the big field, leaving their mums a bit worried ;-)
Around 30 foals took part, the Saltvíkstable was filling up with young horses and the ridinghall with visitors.
Sigtýr showed himself very well, showing all gaits including natural, flowing tölt with good movements. He came to the second round and was put in place 4-6, which was actually better than we expected.
Embla was tölting very much, but that´s not necessarily what the judges want to see ;-)
There were a lot of really good foals, showing especially good trott with wide and high movements, some of them tölting and pacing too.
The stallionfoals in places 1.-3. (not in the right row) were Hjörtur frá Húsavík, Bessi frá Húsavík and Hlynur frá Viðivöllum, the first 3 marefoals Óskhyggja frá Húsavík, Draumadís frá Garði (she was chosen most beautiful foal too) and a brown daughter of Kappi frá Kommu.
Farsæll got a chance to show himself too and ran a few rings, both in trott and gallopp. 
It was a really nice afternoon and I attach a few pics of our horses. The others will follow soon as a picturealbum.
