The icelandic horse Harry fra Stugudal is voted the best stallion of 2012 by the organization for icelandic horses in Norway, Hrani. I had the pleasure of meeting this stallion in 2004. He was only three years old then, had been found of excellent quality on a horse exhibition, and was just let loose on mountain pasture with his own herd of mares. Needless to say, Harry was very pleased. The stallion now have a new owner and he is used for riding competitions. I have more pictures of Harry and his breeder An-Magritt Morset in my photo gallery. She has her own website, Stugudalshester. And here is a link to, Félag hrossabænda, The Horse Breeders Association in Iceland.
Great pics!
Such a handsome boy, and you can tell he knows that he is a stud. Reminds me a little of Fabio. Thanks Bente for the great horse post!
He is really gorgeous. Love the pic of the two blondes together.
What a wonderful horse!!!
Harry is one fine-looking stallion. I bet he’s sired some great offspring, too.
You look great standing together!
I love the vibrant atmosphere and the action captured in the second photo = like

A great day for the blondes!
Beautiful horse.
The village I lived in in Iceland had a strong horse affiliation and introduced me to the Icelandic breed. Quite special! Your post again brought back great memories from my ‘youth’.
I loved this! I also went and looked at your other photos of them….they are just beautiful
How handsome is he, beautiful horse! I love the dapple and the mane and forelock colour.Its a different looking horse from over here, love the yawn and the lady looking up with the endearing look.

This is funny. I read about the Icelandic Horse exports to Norway last week on an Icelandic website.

I have seen some Icelandic horses before, but Harry is the most handsome one I have ever seen. He is gorgeous. (In case you didn’t know: I love horses too. I used to ride them in my younger days.)
