In the night from to the 30th of June 1996 many were busy counting the votes which had been made at the presidential election the day before, and while people in Iceland were waiting for the results bay colt was born in Vorsabær 2. We realized right away that a winner had now seen the light of day and decided to name him Forseti ( = Icelandic for president). It was never a question whether we should raise him as a stallion or not, since even as a foal he was beautiful and with good movements. Björn started him under saddle in the beginning of the year 2000, but in April he sent him to Þorður Þorgeirsson, a well-known horsetrainer, to be trained further. All went very well, so Forseti could be evaluated this same year and received 8,00 for conformation, 8,08 for rideability and 8,05 as an overall score, thereby qualifying for the Landsmót later that year. There he was evaluated higher, receiving 8,12 as a total score. The next year Forseti was shown again at breeding show in Reykjavik, where he ended up in first place with an overall score of 8,23. Having achieved that, Forseti and Þorður appeared again at the Landsmót 2002, which took place atVindheimamelar in the north of Iceland, the very same place where Gassi frá Vorsabaer2 came second in the group of +six years stallions in the year 1990. Forseti accomplished the same, being awarded second place with the scores 8,39 for conformation, 8,71 for rideability and 8,58 as overall score. By this time no stallion aged six years or younger had ever received a score as high as that. At the same time he was the highest judged offspring of Hrafn 802 frá Holtsmula worldwide.
