The customers that come to us have one common thing, they all like Icelandic
horses. But, in other respects, their taste, experience, time etc.
is very different. We have been building up our service for years
now, and are in contact with a big number of people all over Skagafjörður,
Iceland, and the world. And, we pride ourselves in letting your dream
come true. Here are some of the things we do regularily for our customers,
or can do:
Accommodation.
There is a comfortable guest house just a 2 minutes drive from the main
house at Langhus. It has all the basic provisions of a home, with beds
for 6 people, a kitchen, living room. In the neighbourhood, within 30-45
minutes of driving, there are also all sorts of accommodation offered,
both summer houses, a 4 star hotel, small guesthouses in villages or on
farms, and more.
Boarding.
When a horse has been bought, there can be various reasons for the buyer
wanting the horse to stay in Iceland for a longer time. We are in
cooperation with good farms that can take excellent care of your horse,
raise your youngster, board your stallion, etc.
Breeding.
When a mare has been bought, there is often interest in breeding her and
exporting her in foal with one of the great stallions that are in Iceland.
It can be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to bring their genes into your stock.
We can take care of having the mare bred, having a veterinarian ultrasound
the mare etc.
Breeding evaluations.
When a mare has been bought, there can be various reasons for wishing to
have her evaluated before she departs. We can help you arrange for
the mare being trained and shown by excellent trainers.
Clinics.
Lukka has travelled a lot to give clinics. We are also in contact
with very good, certified riding teachers, that can come to your area and
hold a clinic or give riding lessons. You can also come to Iceland,
and take riding lessons, join a clinic, or have a clinic custom made for
you or your croup, by a certified riding teacher.
Dream horses.
We are visited a lot by people that come to join us for a few days, and
find their dream horse. That can be approached in a few different
ways, sometimes we collect a group of horses at Langhus that you can try
out over a few days, sometimes we go between a small or big number of farms
to try out different horses and find out which one is the best partner
for you. We are constantly looking for and trying out different horses
in the area, and know about hundreds of horses that are for sale at any
given time, much more than are ever put on the saleslist. So, we
might know about your dream horse, several that are prospects, or, given
a bit of time, if possible, we will find it : )
Export.
We are in cooperation with an excellent exporter, Kristbjörg Eyvindsdóttir
at Gunnar Arnarson's
export company. We and her take care of the
whole process of the export. F.ex. veterinary checking the
horse, transporting the horse to Reykjavik, paperwork, flight, quarantine
(applies to usa), etc. The buyer just has to take care of paying
for the horse, paying for the export, and having the horse fetced at the
destination airport. We can also help out finding a domestic transport
in the other country, if nessesary. For updated information on prices, the
export process, destination etc., feel free to send us an e-mail.
Holidays.
We are in cooperation with the farm at Miðsitja, that offers custom
made holidays for you. You can tell us your wishes, what you want
to do (learn, go sightseeing, go on trekkings...), when you want to come
(given a bit of advance, we can offer you a holiday at any time of the
year), how long you want to stay (1 day, 2 days, a week...), how big a
group you want to be in (2 people private, 10 friends together, join a
scheduled programme...), accommodation (4-star hotel and luxury, cabin,
home, cottage...), riding lessons (a lesson, a clinic, beginner oriented,
top competition clinic, breeding evaluations lessons...), recreation (bird
watching in Drangey Island, nature's hot tubs, river rafting, snow scooters,
skiing, museums, sightseeing locally or big time, shopping...) etc. etc.
Training.
For various reason, you might want your horse trained more. We train,
of course, but are also in contact with many excellent trainers, both great
show trainers, and patient trainers that take care to prepare an excellent
family horse, others that are interested in dressage, teaching a youngster
basic handling etc. so that your horse is prepared in the best way to be
your dream horse.
Trekkings.
We can help you finding a fun trek to go on, there are hundreds of various
trekkings offered by specialized farmers in Iceland, and an incredible
number of fun trekkings done in the area of Skagafjörður each
year, locally and into the highlands. The holidays
that are offered at Miðsitja are especially tempting, but the choices
are endless.
Transport.
There can be several reasons for you wanting your horse transported to
another part of the country (breeding to a certain stallion being a common
reason), and we can do that or arrange for that being done.
In short...How can we be of service?
