🐴 Meet Thor! 🌟

Today, we say goodbye to this amazing 4-year-old gelding who just completed his young horse training with us. Thor has truly been a wonderful representative of the Icelandic horse breed, with his calm temperament, eagerness to learn, and brave personality. No matter what we threw at him, he handled it like a champ!

We’re excited to see what the future holds for Thor and Sophie and can’t wait to work with them again. Farewell for now, Thor! 🐎💖

SOLD! Elsa from Cornell - US2017205247

We’re excited to offer Elsa from Cornell, a lovely 7-year-old, four-gaited Icelandic mare, 13.1 hh.
Elsa has been in consistent professional training with us for the past five months, after being thoughtfully started under saddle last year.

Elsa is a brave, forward-thinking, and sweet-natured mare with a strong work ethic and kind personality. She is light in the hands, responsive to the aids, and enjoys her time under saddle. She confidently performs basic lateral dressage exercises and is developing well across all gaits. She’s also been introduced to bridleless riding and shows a natural attentiveness and connection with her rider.

Out of the saddle, Elsa is easy to handle and well-mannered. She stands quietly for the farrier and vet, loads with ease, and trailers well. She lounges both on a line and in the round pen, and gets along peacefully in mixed herds of mares and geldings.

She’s safe around children and other animals, and confidently goes out on trail—both alone and in groups. She has also done a bit of light jumping, and with her stamina, forward movement, and surefootedness, she shows great promise for endurance or pleasure riding.

Elsa’s tölt is naturally expressive and smooth, though still developing in balance and strength. Her other gaits are clean, comfortable, and easy to ride, and she can pick up canter from a standstill.

For Consideration:

Elsa is a sensitive, forward-thinking mare with a solid foundation and a bright future. While safe and willing, she is still gaining balance in her tölt and would do best with a novice to intermediate rider—someone confident and kind who can continue supporting her development.

Elsa is a truly lovely young mare with a lot to offer the right rider. She has the temperament, foundation, and potential to become a fantastic all-around partner for trail, dressage, pleasure, or sport.

Inquiries welcome. Located in Nelson County Kentucky.

2024 Highlights ✨

We’re excited to shine a spotlight on Kentigern Octavo, who set out with a goal last year to make it onto the national ranking list—and he didn’t just make it, he earned 1st place in V5!

The USIHC National Ranking is a points-based system that ranks riders in different Icelandic horse competition classes across the United States. It is managed by the United States Icelandic Horse Congress (USIHC) and includes results from sanctioned competitions throughout the year.

Riders earn points based on their performance in various disciplines, such as tölt, four-gait, and five-gait tests, and are ranked accordingly. The rankings help track competitive progress, recognize top riders, and provide a benchmark for those striving to improve.

Achieving 1st place in a ranking class, like V5, means consistently strong performances across competitions—an impressive accomplishment!

With his talented mare and , Kentigern’s hard work and dedication truly paid off. We couldn’t be prouder of his accomplishments and the partnership he’s built with these amazing horses.

Congratulations, Kentigern! We can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store for you!

🎉 Four months ago, we celebrated a very special day for our incredible intern, Lucas! For his birthday, we teamed up with his amazing parents and to give him the surprise of a lifetime—his first horse! 🐴

Meet Vàldis from Seliana, a stunning 2-year-old filly out of Rak frá Syðra-Landholti and Vaskur frá Kagaðarholi. With all five gaits and a personality that melts hearts, Vàldis is already showing so much promise. 🌟

A heartfelt thank you to the amazing breeders who made this possible. Your dedication and expertise helped us find the perfect match for Lucas, and we are so grateful! 🙏

Lucas has been part of our team for three years, and his passion, hard work, and love for horses inspire us every day. We couldn’t think of anyone more deserving. 💛 Here’s to many adventures and achievements ahead for Lucas and Vàldis!

✨ Big congratulations to Jane Coleman on finding her perfect riding partner, Ljufur from Tolt Heaven! ✨

Ljúfur first caught Jane’s eye back in August when he arrived at Thorlak to work as a lesson horse—let’s just say it was love at first ride! 🐴❤️ These two have quickly become a dynamic duo, constantly pushing each other to grow and shine.

Last month, Jane and Ljúfur took on their first-ever show together and made an incredible debut! 🎉 They placed 1st in Three-Gait and 2nd in Pleasure Tölt during the preliminaries. While the finals brought some challenges, we couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and teamwork. 💪

We’re so excited to see what amazing things Jane and Ljúfur will achieve together in the years to come. Here’s to many more milestones for this incredible pair! 🌟👏
A huge thank you to for helping us bring this gem into our lives!
