Breeding

The breeding at Þúfur is based on a strong foundation. Our emphasis is to breed horses that we enjoy riding and training, that have light, elastic movements and long strides.

Training

At Þúfur, we not only train our own horses but we also offer training of clients’ horses. Get in touch if you are interested in booking a spot for your horse.

Lessons

Mette Mannseth offers lessons and clinics, both at home and away. Mette is one of the most renowned riding instructors within the Icelandic horse community.

ÞÚFUR

Icelandic Horse Center

Þúfur is located in Skagafjörður, north of Iceland. The fjord is often called the cradle of Icelandic horsemanship as historically, the area has played a great part in the heritage and prestige of the Icelandic horse.

Þúfur was awarded Horsebreeders of the year in 2020 and Competition horsebreeders of the year in 2021, which are the most national esteemed prizes that breeders of the Icelandic horse can receive.

Hannibals first tölt competition last night in Me

Hannibals first tölt competition last night in Meistaradeild KS was a great experience. Very easy for both horse and rider. Like Hannibal was born to do this. Of course he wasn´t, but he is bred to do this.
Leading and winning with 7.90 in preliminaries and 8.39 in the finals. 🏆🥇
He doesn´t stop amazing me, this horse🦄

Fyrsta töltkeppni Hannibals var í Meistaradeild KS í gærkvöldi. Skemmtilegt hvað það var auðvelt fyrir hest og knapa í alla staði. Eins og hann sé fæddur til að gera þetta, sem hann er að sjálfsöðgu ekki en hann er ræktaður til að gera þetta.
7.90 í forkeppni og 8.39 og fyrsta sæti 🏆🥇
What a horse🥰🤩🥳

The competition was fourgait V1 and with 7.47 in the preliminaries and 7.83 in the finals he was the sure winner 🥇of @meistaradeildks í hestaíþróttum.
We are overwelmed with the respons that we get from everyone, judges and spectators in the arena and all over Europe that watched @alendis.tv 🥳🙏
Fun fact; Hannibal was wearing fizo-shoing (8mm) and 115gr boots. Hannibal is the highest judged 4-gait stallion in Iceland.

Breedingfarm of the year in Skagafjörður 2022! 🏆
Yesterday we recived awards for our breeding 2022 in Skagafjörður.
Three honorary price mares: Grýla, Lýsing, Píla 🏆
Five individulas in top three in their class : Grímar, Klukka, Svarfdæla, Töfri, Hannibal.
Sörlabikarinn, highest judged breedinghorse in Skagafjörður: Hannibal🏆
And not least Breedingfarm of the year 2022! 🏆
Aspecialy honored to get this award now the 4th time as a horse can never count twice to a winner. Last times we recived it was 2019 and 2020 and no horse that counted then counts for this year. A good rule, makes it a bit harder.
Thank you HSS for a great evening with honorable presentations.
🥳🥳🥳
