Icelandic horses for sale
I’ve a variety of Icelandic horses for sale. I’m located at Árbæjarhjáleiga in Iceland. I sell horses from our own breeding as well as horses from others that we train at Árbæjarhjáleiga. I advertise horses on my facebook page but I always have a lot more than I advertise. If you are looking for an Icelandic horse please don’t hesitate to contact me!
My Work
Training
At my training facility in Árbæjarhjáleiga we train up to 40 horses each time. These horses are from our own breeding as well as horses from others. If you are looking for a trainer for your horse, don’t hesitate to contact me!
Teaching
Teaching is so much fun. I many time say that I help the horses with their riders. I teach in Iceland and abroad. I have been teaching for two great schools : Hólar and the acricultural school of Hvanneyri. If you are interested in a riding lesson please contact me!
Breeding
At Árbæjarhjáleiga II we get 12-15 foals every year. Our breeding has a strong connection to Ófeigur frá Flugumýri which is not very common anymore and for us quite special.
About Me
My name is Hekla Katharína Kristinsdóttir and I was born on the 26th of August in 1990 in Reykjavík. My husband is Eiríkur Vilhelm Sigurðarson and we are blessed with two children, Vilhelm Bjartur Eiríksson (3 years old) and Áslaug María Eiríksdóttir (1 year old).
