Our mares are part of the family and are riding horses as well as broodmares. Foals from Westwynd Farm should make great all-around horses and offer tölt easily, while at the same time have solid temperaments and good conformation. No horse is perfect in every way, but we make sure that when we breed, we select evaluated or promising stallions that will compliment our mares to produce the best outcome. Our horses are trained using TTeam methods, ground driving and dressage to learn to accept the rider and equipment gently, not forcibly. The goal is partnership. |
| Brenna from Pegasus USIHC# US1999201420 1999 Chestnut mare Tandri from Pegasus x Ogn frá Blönduósi Brenna is our first Icelandic and very dear to our hearts. We purchased her primarily as a family/riding horse which is a job she excels at. Bren is well rounded and is equally at home on the trail as well as in the ring and has done very well at shows. Her solid and kind disposition combined with her easy tölt makes her a priceless part of our family. Brenna had a lovely Palomino filly named Sóley in 2005 by Flygill frá Mosfellsbæ. She had a handsome colt on 6/29/08 by first prize bay dun stallion Mani frá Raufarfelli. |

| Tromma frá Kjarri USHIC# US1999203466 1999 Bay mare Platon frá Sauðarkróki x Bára frá Skarði Tromma is a five gaited evaluated mare from Iceland, imported in 2005. She has many evaluated horses in her pedigree and traces back honor prize stallions Þattur frá Kirkjubær and Hrafn frá Holtsmula on her sire's side. As a riding horse, she is sensitive and can be high energy. I fell in love with Tromma´s sweet nature, fast tolt and huge trot this past summer and was lucky enough to be able to bring her home. She has produced some very nice foals, including our lovely filly, Sveifla. Tromma's evaluation scores: Overall 7.76 Conformation: 8.18 Hd-8, Neck/shoulder-8.5, Back/Croup-9, Prop-8, Leg Qual-8, Joints-7.5, Hooves-8, mane/tail-8.5 Ridden: 7.48 Tolt-7.5, trot-7, Pace-7, gallop-7.5, spirit-8, impression-7.5, walk-8, slow tolt-7.5, canter-7. |
