Vakur from Eichenhof
We are excited to announce that this young man is ready to find his person! Vakur is a nine year old silver dapple Icelandic gelding. He is tall at 14.1 and has an elegant build, with legs for days. He was started as a five year old with 5 months of professional training and has been with us for a couple of years now. He has developed into a true allrounder and does all the things. He is great in the arena and out on the trails. He has great talent for dressage, he is very soft in the contact and responsive on the leg aids. He knows all lateral work and has good quality walk/trot/canter. His tölt is clear 4 beat with good self carriage and available to medium tempo at the moment. With more strength he will be able to go fast tempo tölt easily. He loves going out on trails, by himself or in groups. He loads and trailers very well, he crosses water and has encountered cars, dirt bikes, grouse, deer, hikers, that have him curious and not afraid. He is used to dogs. He ponies like a dream and is great to pony off of as well. He does well with obstacles and is super curious about new things. Here at Vinur Farm he has done many things. He has done lessons (including lunge line seat lessons), was ridden in clinics and camps, went on many trail rides with riders of various experience levels, was in a drill team, has done lots of obstacle work, mounted archery, and of course got further training in dressage, gait training, and all things ground work like lunging, double lunging, ground driving etc.
He has a great personality, loves people, is always ready to work, jumps into the halter, loves going out and exploring. He has medium energy and is very responsive. He never had any health issues, he stands well for the farrier and the vet.
Vakur is American-bred and very talented with good basic gaits, and very nice, clear beat tölt. He deserves to find his very own person now :-) He would make a great dressage horse but also a great trail horse. I think someone who is interested in both would be best for him to really develop him to his full potential. He is not suited for a beginner as he has big movements with impulsion and requires a rider with a decent seat and soft hands. If you are looking for a tall, fun horse in a fancy color who is always ready to go and has tons of potential to do all the things, then don’t wait too long to get in touch!
