The last days have been quite busy. We decided last weekend to delay taking horses inside a bit due to the weather. No need to have riding horses inside when you haven't actually got a chance to go riding because it's getting dark early and a heavy storm is blowing. Talking about heavy storms... There hasn't been travelweather nearly the whole week, roads closed, no flights and even no international flights one day. The "good" thing about this is, it's merely in the south and we got away rather well, except for heavy winds, which finally blew the damaged part of our windshelter completely down. Well, just another thing on our to-do list for spring/summer... Hope the shops selling fencing materials have already placed huge orders at their suppliers! 
Yesterday morning there was an unfortunate accident closeby our stable when a group of horses got hit by 3 cars. 2 horses got injured and it's not looking too good for one of them. No human was injured, but at least one car isn't looking fab after this. It weren't our horses, but those of a friend, and they were already on their way back home from their nocturnal adventure when deciding it would be best to run on the road. The injured horses were tended to by our vet and the less injured is going to stay at our place for recovery.
Today we went for the weekly monitoring trip to Ísólfsstaðir but this time with quite some old bread for the horses (and Jóel's sheep). They got it served down by the cliffs as they were all staying there close by the old shelter.  No need to make them walk up, when there's that little snow it was no problem driving down there.
Afterwards we fetched the horsetrailer and moved Kóngur, Fönix and Snerpa to the stable, where Sigga's horses were already waiting for them.  Next stop was a farm in Aðaldalur, where we got a new roundbale. The trip there was rather spooky as there was definitely more wind on the way than around Húsavík which resulted in the trailer swaying to the side and into the other traffic lane. Not so much fun, but fortunately nothing severe happened. When back we sought the injured horse from the vet and brought it to our place. 
Now the weatherforecast is rather bad for the next few days, especially Tuesday is said to be awful. Hopefully just rain here and no sleet, which would probably take our fences down again. But we can't do anything but hope and see.
