THE HORSES<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text align=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1574198260509{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]El\u00edas \u00de\u00f3rhallsson<\/strong> is a member of F\u00e9lag Tamningamanna (FT \u2013 Iceland\u2019s national horse trainer\u2019s association) since 1991. He then worked at Iceland\u2019s state run breeding station for two years, training many of the best horses in the country. Since then, El\u00edas has worked as a trainer and riding instructor in Sweden, Denmark and the United States and has been a very successful competition and breeding rider everywhere he went.<\/p>\n

Berglind Inga \u00c1rnad\u00f3ttir<\/strong> is educated as a Physical Education teacher but everyone in Iceland knows her as the owner, CEO and head instructor in her riding school for handicapped children and teenagers as this was her main occupation for 23 years. All of this without forgetting to train her own horses.<\/p>\n

El\u00edas and Berglind have successfully been breeding, breaking-in and training horses in Iceland for over 15 years. They still own a good number of first prize broodmares, most of which were bred by them. While they now live at the Huilerie, they will keep these special mares in breeding.<\/p>\n

It is this extraordinarily kind and generous couple that will welcome you with open arms at Pur Cheval in order to discover the Icelandic horse and\/or help you find the horse of your dreams.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7177″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][vc_column_text align=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1574114074056{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

On top of managing a restaurant and guesthouse along with his wife Hrefna Birkisd\u00f3ttir on the Sn\u00e6fellsnes peninsula, he has taken care of our horses in Iceland for over 10 years.
\nWhether it be bringing broodmares to stallions, helping foals be born, taking care of and feeding the horses, lending a hand for breaking-in or participating in breeding selection: G\u00edsli can do it all.<\/p>\n

And on top of this, he knows how to fix any machine and never shies before hard work.<\/p>\n

You might catch a glimpse at him in France as he does come and visit the Huilerie team from time to time. However friendly and amiable you might find him, we kindly ask you not to ask him to stay. We do indeed need him too much in the paradise that is Mi\u00f0hraun to allow him to be tempted by moving to France.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_divider style=”thick_solid” divider_width=”one_third” margin_top=”5″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1574114878639{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
