About us 

Miðsitja is located in the heart of Skagafjörđur near by Vindheimamelar. Organized horse breeding has been practiced at Miðsitja for almost 40 years. Miðsitja is a traditional breeding farm for Icelandic horses thanks to Sólveig Stefánsdóttir and Jóhann Þorsteinsson (Jói Vakri) that lived there and bred horses for more than 20 years.

 

They based their breeding on offsprings out of Perla frá Reykir and Gustur frá Sauðárkrókur (Höfða Gustur). Their most famous offsprings are Krafla frá Sauðárkróki and Kveikur frá Miðsitju. Kveikur is the father of many of the best breeding mares in Iceland. And everyone knows the offsprings of Krafla. These are horses like Keilir, Kraflar and Katla, whose son is Spuni frá Miðsitja.

 

The owner and breeder at Miðsitja is Daniel Gunnarsson who is also the trainer.
