The famous stallion Kveikur from Stangarl\u00e6kur 1 has been sold. The new owners reside in Denmark<\/p>\n

Kveikur was one of the stars of last Landsm\u00f3t in 2018 where he received no less than 10 for both t\u00f6lt and temperament. He also scored 8,53 in his first outdoor T1 competition earlier this summer. His rider then and until now has been A\u00f0alhei\u00f0ur Anna Gu\u00f0j\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir<\/p>\n

Kveikur has also been one of the most in-demand stallion for breeding in Iceland in the past couple of years.<\/p>\n

The breeders and sellers of Kveikur are Birgir Le\u00f3 \u00d3lafsson and Ragna Bj\u00f6rnsd\u00f3ttir. They say that the price of Kveikur is confidential and the decision to sell him was not an easy one. \u201eWe first thought of the possibility of selling him when Landsm\u00f3t was cancelled, that was supposed to be his last competition. We then entered discussions about his sale after the Reykjav\u00edk sport tournament in July. We only have a relatively small breeding here at Stangarl\u00e6kur 1 and decided that we wanted to build that around Kveikur\u2018s mother, Raketta fr\u00e1 Kjarnholtum. We also have now 11 offspring of Kveikur here and more hopefully on the way, so we hope to keep his DNA in our breeding. We want to congratulate the new owners, Gitte and Flemming Fast with their new horse and wish them all the best in the future. We also want to give special thanks to A\u00f0alhei\u00f0ur Anna and Reynir \u00d6rn at Margr\u00e9tarhof that have played a huge part in Kveikur\u2018s success in the past year and we can never thank them enough for that.\u201c<\/p>\n\"\"\n

The new owners of Kveikur are Gitte and Flemming Fast from Denmark. They are very excited about their new star. \u201eKveikur is of course a star for a lot of people, but mostly for Ragna and Birgir, that have been able to breed and follow him since his birth, and watch him develop into a superstar. For all breeders we think, that is the goal. And they made a good choice with A\u00f0alhei\u00f0ur being his trainer and rider. She has also done a fantastic job.<\/p>\n

We have for some time taken interest in stallions on Iceland, which we want to train and show there and later on bring them to our place in Denmark, Lindholm Hoje, \u2013 close to Aalborg. We plan to bring Kveikur to Lindholm Hoje this fall. He needs to settle in at our place, and hopefully be ready for some shows and maybe also competition during the winter and next year. For now we haven\u00b4t decided on a rider for him here in Denmark, but will have someone later this year. From the spring he will also be covering mares at our place. We want to thank Birgir and Ragna for trusting us with this magnificent horse and hope that he can be a good ambassador for them for years to come.\u201c<\/p>\n
