Welkom at Icelandic horsefarm "De Kronkel"!

De Kronkel is a private horsefarm in the south of the Netherlands. On a small scale we breed Icelandic horses with our mares in the Netherlands and on Iceland. Also we organise riding tours and instructions for a limited group of people. We are frequently seen at competitions in the Netherlands and Belgium as we compete with our own-bred horses. On this website you will find information and news updates of our farm and horses. Also we'll regularly offer horses for sale.

 

"De Kronkel" started by purchasing Stjarna frá Bakkakoti of Thom Ruijsbroek in 1993. Stjarna was imported from Iceland with high judgement scores for trot and character: 8,5. In 1994 she gave birth to her first foal with us, Áki. Since then we have had many foals of her and her offspring. This year we expect the fifth generation in her line to be born, as Kengála is pregnant of Barón frá Skammbeinsstöðum. The family tree of Stjarna provides a historical overview.

Apart from the broodmares that originate from this breeding line of Stjarna (Áki, Elfra, Ekra, Freyja, Háki, Kengála, Ífrel en Jóra), De Kronkel has attracted new broodmares in the course of time; Lögg frá Sólskini, Yrsa and Ögn frá Buðarhóli.

		Apart from being a broodmare, Lögg is also a fine competition horse and she has had two foals that are promising in sports competition, Frodo and El Niño. El Niño became Dutch Champion in 2005 in T5!
		Yrsa regurarly passes on her pinto coloured coat and has given birth to 5 foals on De Kronkel. Among them is the 6-year old gelding Jóki who is making rapid progress at competitions.
		Ögn's residence is on Iceland where she got a son (Landfari frá Hofi) in 2005 of Rökkvi frá Harlaugsstöðum, champion of the Landsmót of 2004! In 2007 and 2008 Ögn also brought forth two foals; a filly called Niña of the stallion Brjánn frá Sauðárkróki; and the colt Ögny of Borði frá Fellskoti.
		Our own-bred Jóra also littered a young stallion in 2008 of the famous stallion Fáni frá Hafsteinsstöðum. His name is Ótrauður.
