List of Honors Stallions


Blessi's pedigree Part 1




In Iceland, only 26 stallions have attained Honors status from the awarding of the first honor in 1978 to 2008.  Mares can also attain honors status.  One of the fun things you can do is look up the pedigree of your horse in World Fengur, the international breeding registry of the Icelandic horse.  Or you can have a friend look it up if you don't have access.  You will almost certainly find one or more of these honors stallions in your horse's pedigree.
