Mares...

...or better said chestnut mares was what we got to see when we went to Erlingur checking out Kiddi's young mares that are in training there.

They are:

Perla frá Hellulandi, born 2008, chestnut with flaxen mane and tail and a star, fivegaited, daughter of Hágangur frá Narfastöðum and Lukka frá Hellulandi

Vá frá Hellulandi, born 2008, chestnut with flaxen mane and tail, probably fourgaited, daughter of Hágangur and Slaufa frá Hellulandi

Sól frá Hellulandi, born 2007, chestnut with a star and really much mane and tail, maybe fivegaited, daughter of Tigull frá Gígjarhóli and Súla frá Hellulandi

Sóla frá Hellulandi, born 2008, chestnut with flaxen mane and tail, a star and a snip, probably fivegaited, fullsister of Sól

The mares were doing fine, but got a bit disturbed by us standing in the field, watching them. Perla, Sól and Sóla already have a good speedrange in tölt, Vá, who shows tölt without a rider, just started to tölt with rider and is therefore not as fluent as the others yet. It was nice to meet all of them again and see how they are developing into good ridinghorses and maybe more.

When you have a look at the pics, you'll see that the mares are very alike. This is due to them being very close related, all of them being bred out of Slaufa. Slaufa is the mother of Vá, grandmother of Perla and greatgrandmother of Sól and Sóla, whose mother Súla is a sister of Perla.
