History : In 1522 the three main farms at Farnes was called Østenwun, Mittwun and Fremstewun. This tells us how this farms lays. One in east, one in the middle, and one as the first you meet. The name Fremstetun has changed to hestetun, Horsetun. this also tells us what they have used this farm for, a place they kept their horses. The first owner we know of is Morten Lauritzen Ambla. He was married with Mette Holst. His daughter Øllegård, married to Peder Jensen Klingenberg then had this farm. In 1694 Øllegård was widow and and sold to her son Erik Klingenberg. Erik changed with his brother-in-law Nils Eide, who became the new owner. In 1718 Nils sold to Tomas Seim, and he sold in 1724 to Jon Øren. In 1729 this was sold to Hans This Nagel. And finally he sold in 1742 to the user at that time Ola Torleivson Hestetun, which became the first self-owner.
Now lets start with the users: In 1522 we know of "Tore på Fremstetun". In 1550 we find Bjørn her, and he had the farm till 1602. In 1603 his widow is here, and she had it to 1607. Here name was probably Ingebjørg. In 1611 we find Eirik here. he used it till 1616. In 1617 we find lauritz here, he is here till 1635. From no on there is two separate parts here, Br.1 and Br.3. later on br.1 split into two parts so we got br.2 here. And on part in the Utladal Valley was called Br.4. We continue with Br.1. After Lars we find a Botolf here,from 1635. In 1641 there is on Ola here, until 1650. Then we find Løen here. Løen is a strange name, and we know of no one with this name in Årdal, so he is probably from Valdres. His wife was Karen. Løen killed his neigbourgh, Guldbrand at Br.2 and had to leave. This was 1665. in 1666 we find Tomas Kristofferson here, married to Guldbrand's widow. Tomas was born ca 1636 and died in 1693. He had no children. Then we find Hans Guldbrandson Bratt here. His wife was Rannei Johannesdtr. Hans died in 1710. his widow married again with Lars Tomasson Hæreid. He had this farm until 1724, but when the owner at that time Tomas Seim sold this farm till Jon Øyri, Lars had to leave. The new user was Kristoffer Årebru. He was married with Inga Tomasdtr Øvstetun. Inga died in 1739 and Kristoffer in 1751. A new user came on. This was Ola Torleivson Hestetun.

What he bought is called Br.2. Vilken Pederson Rønnei was born 1704 and married in 1731 with Sidsel Katarina Mathisen. She died in 1733 and Vilken married again with Anna Kristoffersdtr Hestetun in 1738. They had 6 children. Vilken died in 1777. Ola Torleivson jr. brother of Ola on Br.1 claimed the farm with help of the "Odelslaw" and got it,so in 1752 Ola Torleivson jr. was the owner. He was born 1718 and married to Kari Andersdtr Holmestad in 1749. She died in 1753 and Ola married with Synneva Endresdtr Holsæter in 1754. Ola died in 1764 and Synneva in 1765. Ola had two children from the first marriage and 5 in the last. His son Endre Olson got the farm. Endre Olson was born in 1757 and married in 1779 with Barbara Nilsdtr Asperheim.
