Trip to the East

The beautiful winterweather had to be used and so we made a weekendtrip to the east to visit our friends Pétur and Marietta. They offered us a mare, that could fit into our herd and so we of course were nosy and wanted to have a look at this mare. Her name is Vordís frá Brekku.
On the trip east we came into reindeerland, which was marked with road signs to prepare drivers for unexpected road-crossers.
Lucky as we are we really saw reindeer relaxing quite close to the road but unfortunately there was so much traffic we couldn´t stop and take pictures...
But we had a few wonderful views over the sea and fjords on the drive as the "shortcut" over the mountain was closed due to the amount of snow.
We were heartly welcomed in Höskuldsstaðir and had a look at the stable and the horses. Marietta showed us the mare they were offering us and then we tried her inside, which went really well and I have to admitt, that Vordís is excellent trained and really easy and soft on the reins.
Sunday we slept quite long and then took a short walk to the house in wonderful weather. The sun was shining, no wind and quite warm.
So we decided to use the good circumstances and try Vordís outside too. That went just fine, she was really relaxed and not even scared of the big tube under the road that is usually frightening the horses a bit. After this good ride we had a nice beer outside the house in the warm sunshine... Just perfect!
Well, as everything went just fine with Vordís, she´s going to be member of our herd and will arrive during this week. We are looking forward to have her here!
