The training starts

After taking in the horses last saturday and handling them a bit in the meantime, the training for Bragur and Hekla has started. Yesterday we just let them run free a bit and had a look what they were offering.
Hekla was trotting and gallopping small circles, Bragur was showing good trott in high speed.
Today we let Bragur run on the long rein, first without then with saddle. The aim of all this is, that he learns to relax during work and realises, that he is allowed to trott, even with a saddle and in the next step with a rider on his back. We hope things keep going as well as they are at the moment and he'll be a relaxed, easygoing ridinghorse soon.

Today Mieke's and Renskes foals from Kelduland/Skagafjörður arrived here and will stay with our mares and foals. Both foals are yellow dun mares. Mieke's is a bit darker than Renske's. At the moment they stick together like twins and keep a bit away from our horses (ok, Perla was chasing them a bit...), but I think that will soon change.
Now the only one missing here is Farsæll...

Well, I had a little helper today when I was wrapping up Christmas gifts. Púki definitely wanted to join in the action and I had to take care not to wrap him up...
In the evening he was surprising our guests by taking a rest on their heads after a short flight. Funny to see their faces!
