US91101511 / IS91135551
Father: Kveikur frá Miðsitju
Mother: Glóa frá Innri Skeljabrekka

Throstur is a 14.2 hand, 5-gaited, black stallion, born in 1991. He is a first prize stallion with 8.57 for riding abilities, 8.22 for conformation, and an overall score of 8.43, which makes him one of the the highest judged stallions imported to North America from Iceland. In order to raise the quality of the Icelandic horses in North America, we need to breed to the best.

Throstur is a very tall, proud-looking stallion with amazing temperament. He is handled easily by everyone. Throstur has honored his father's legacy by producing large, beautiful offspring with lots of tolt and "ready to please" temperament.

His father, Kveikur frá Miðsitju, is very popular in Iceland for large, flashy offspring with incredible character. Kveikur is a full brother to Krafla frá Sauðárkróki, who is undoubtedly one of the most famous breeding mares in Iceland, with honors for her offspring. Some of the best horses in Iceland are from these bloodlines, and it is hard to find a bad horse among them. They are either good or very good.

Here are the results from the breeding evaluation at Winterhorse Park, Wisconsin, in September, 2004, where Throstur attained the highest scores of more than 40 judged horses and improved his scores from a previous evaluation.
