This week we've been busy teaching 6 kids from 1st to 6th grade on horseback. Some of them have never sat a horse before, but all of them did really well and we were able to see progress in each and every lesson. I think the key to success in teaching kids is to give them responsibility, trust them to do things instead of doing everything for them. Our group had to lead, brush and saddle their horses, of course with assistance, but mostly on their own. In my opinion it's necessary to make them independent and able to do the basics on their own. Looking forward to teach them until Friday and allowing them to take part in our riding club competition on Friday evening.
After ridingschool we fetched Kóngur and Snerpa, cut their hooves, dewormed and put them in the trailer heading to Hagi. It's time for them to go to their summerpasture. It was no problem putting a halter on them and then just clipping whilst all the others made nonsense around them in the field. They went up into the trailer like pros so really looking forward to starting them in autumn. Think they'll be pretty quick getting the basics. 
Afterwards it was time to get Pandóra, Vordís and Rögnir. It was no problem catching Vordís and Rögnir, but he wasn't keen at all entering the trailer with Fjördís and Fönix running crazy all about. Vordís was worried about Pandóra, who of course didn't follow her mum into the trailer. In the end we decided to grab the little lady, put her inside and close and then walk Rögnir to the stables and try to get him loaded there. He just walked with me there, not even looking back to his friends calling him. Wow, if it would have been that easy handling him in there... Well, at the stables he more or less just walked into the trailer. Fönix and Fjördís were left behind, we'll fetch them later and move them to the field near Húsavík.
The five friends at Hagi went on an inspection tour and I really hope, Pandóra will forget a bit about how fond she's about people there.
