Vinur Farm

Vinur Farm, Icelandic horse breeders in Trout Lake, Washington, are nestled in the Columbia River Gorge region near Portland. They have been caring for Icelandic horses for several years and hold membership in the International Icelandic Horse Federation, ensuring each foal receives routine health screenings and fertility evaluations. Their farm features pasture-based turnout, daily handling by Freya Sturm and Ben Sizemore, and seasonal trail rides that contribute to calm, confident temperaments.

Operating from a restored homestead, they blend traditional Icelandic horsemanship with mindful stewardship of native pastures. Several of their young horses have earned ribbons at regional gait shows, reflecting careful pairing of bloodlines and early gait training. Each youngster is paired with an older herd mate early on, providing a natural model for social skills and herd interactions. Their selective breeding program prioritizes correct conformation, robust health, and the trademark five gaits that define the Icelandic horse.
