Training

Well, it has been quite some time since I wrote last, but our days were so filled, it was hardly time to be at the computer.
The training is going fine, all young horses are behaving well and are making steps forward. Some smaller than others but all in the right direction.
We already put the saddle on all youngsters, which took it quite well. Just Embla made a small hop when she was supposed to walk with this strange thing on her back out of the box. None of them was trying to get the saddle off so it was rather unspectacular for the watchers.
The next step was of course mounting them. As I already said before, these mares are all A-students and taking new things so well and therefore it was no problem to mount for the first time. Think the candy they got as reward helped a bit.
Ingólfur and Katla are already walking their rounds without help in the ridinghall, whilst the others are still on their way there. I think Embla will be the next one "let loose". At the moment I still have her on the safetyline while Ingólfur is on back. But in fact he is telling her where to go and how fast. 

Farsæll is doing very well too, I´ve started riding him inside and am waiting for a partner to go for outsiderides. Think he´ll like that better than being ridden inside all the time. 
As you can see, there is enough to do for us every single day ;)
