Gáttaþefur (Door Sniffer)

Door Sniffer comes to town on 22 December. He is easily recognised by his huge nose. He loved the smell of cakes and lace bread – sometimes called leaf bread – when they were being prepared for Christmas, and always tried to steal one or two.

    Eleventh was Door Sniffer,
    a doltish lad and gross.
    He never got a cold, yet had
    a huge, sensitive nose.

    He caught the scent of lace bread
    while leagues away still
    and ran toward it weightless
    as wind over dale and hill.


Móskjóni is a good 4 gaited riding horse with tölt. He has a very rare color (even more than Harri) or pinto silverdapple! He is sweet, easy going and for medium experienced riders. He (and Samúel, our financial manager) like Gáttaþefur (Door Sniffer)

The best thing with Íshestar is the large selection of tours they offer all over the country and yet every tour is run by a local farmer and his family, that know the land like the back of their hands. This is Eco-tourism at it´s best!
