About Us
The farm Skeggsstaðir is in north-west of Iceland, between Blönduós and Skagafjörður. We are ca. 3 KM in the valley Svartárdalur. The salmon river Svartá runs throught Svartárdalur which is ca. 28 KM long. The community center Húnaver is in the valley, where you can get service like; camping, sleeping bags and food.
The year 1979 we moved from Reykjavík to the farm Skeggsstaðir. We had both sheep and horses, now we don´t have sheep, we have dedicated us to the horses. All our horses are raised at our land, we don´t put them on the highland pastures. They are raised at our own mountain/highland, where they train their skills, strength and get ready for life. Before we moved to Skeggsstaðir, the mares, who belong to our uncle before us, where more than less together with the mares and the stallions at Eiríksstaðir, where Guðmundur Sigfússon did live and breed his good horses. So, in the base of our horses are lot of pedigree from Eiríksstaðir, for example from Fengur frá Eiríksstöðum and other wellknown stallions.
