Grímar is a quite unique horse. Apart from his very calm temperament, his gaits and movements are special. He has an ability of stride length, suspension, schwung, engagement, collection and speed we are very excited to see how develops. He has unusually long strides and good suspension in both trot and canter, as well as an outstanding walk which he received no less than 10 for. Clear, ground covering and relaxed. But maybe the trot is just as impressive, with an unusual suspension also in slower tempos. And with this ability in walk and trot he also has the ability to have the very fluid tölt with very good carriage slow and fast.
Grímar is out of Sólon frá Þúfum and Grýla frá Þúfum, which makes him a brother to Hannibal frá Þúfum. Grímar received 9.01 for rideabilities only six years old!
Started very good, got better and better
Grímar was evaluated as a 4 year old in the spring of 2022 and received 8.25 in total but 8.45 in total as a fourgaiter. He received 8.33 for conformation and 8.21 for ridden abilities, among the marks were 9 for mane and tail and for walk. He was also presented at Landsmót in Hella in the summer 2022. As a five-year-old he improved his score. Including 9 for spirirt as well as 9,5 for walk his total went up to 8,34. As a six-year-old he did quite a jump, receiving 9.01 for rideability, including a 10 for walk. Going into landsmót week he was the highest judged stallion there with a score of 8.80.
Forth generation over the 9-wall
Breaking the wall of 9 for ridden abilities is a rear thing. Only a couple of horses each year reaches that goal if any. Grímar reached this goal only 6 years old. And even more special–he is the forth generation of stallions reaching this. As great grandfather Þokki frá Kýrholti, grandfather Trymbill frá Stóra-Ási and father Sólon frá Þúfum all broke the wall of 9.
Future is exciting
We are very excited to see what the furture will bring together with this amazing talent. How can we delevlope this unusual gaits and what will he give away to his ofspring? We already have some ofspring of him and are expecting some more for next year. It seems that the huge stride and springiness is brought forward.
