Andrea and Vífill have a special partnership

Vífill is a tall, 14.1-hand, handsome red dun gelding. He has a sensitive and intelligent character that makes him fun to work with. He has a lot of experience and was well educated by top trainer/rider Sigurbjörn "Diddi" Bárðarson.

Vífill is a son of the first-prize four-gaited stallion Parker frá Sólheimum. His grandsires on both sides, Hervar frá Sauðárkróki and Ófeigur frá Flugumýri, are two of the most famous honor prize stallions. All these fine genetics have come together to make Vífill a great riding horse.

Vífill is big and strong and possesses a great amount of energy and stamina. He loves to move out, especially at his effortless tölt, and feels like he can go on forever. Though he is quite forward-thinking, he is also very responsive to the rider and solid out on the trails. He has four quality gaits including a brisk, ground-covering walk, a jumped canter, and clear trot. But his best gait is probably his super tölt. He is a very smooth tölting machine. It is hard not to smile when you ride him!

These days Vífill is dealing with Cushing's, not an uncommon problem in older Icelandic horses, so he is enjoying a well-earned semi-retirement. He spends most of his days now making sure all the youngsters do not get out of line and that the pasture grass does not get too tall ;)
