About the Hrímnir name
Hrímnir frá Hrafnagili was adored by all Icelandic horse lovers. We were therefore honored when we were offered to carry his name on the saddle. Hrímnir frá Hrafnagili was owned by Björn Sveinsson at Varmilækur II. Varmilækur II is situated 8 km south of Varmahlíð, very close to Vindheimamelar. At Varmilækur II live Björn and Magnea K Guðmundsdóttir, where they breed and train horses. Björn is a member of the Trainers' Association FT since 1974 and has a C riding teachers degree. Winner Hrímnir won the B-class "gæðingakeppni" at Landsmót 1982 with a score of 8.86. Previously he had competed only a few times and always done well. He drew a lot of attention right from the beginning. He would never compete again, yet he has been shown many times at horse events. 4-gaiter of the century In 2007, Eidfaxi did a survey to find out who was the most popular 4-gaiter of the century, and Hrímnir received 70% of the votes. Hrímnir died at Varmilækur in 2007
