Time to check on the older horses in their winterpasture at Ísólfsstaðir. We got 2 big bags with old bread as a treat for them in the car.
Upon arriving we noticed that 1 horse was laying and not getting up when the rest of the bunch started to move towards the gate to meet us and the big breadbags. Finally it stood up, but wasn't moving. So after destracting the other horses with bread we took a walk down to the horse, just to realize it was really lame on one hindleg. As it wasn't one of ours we called the owner, who was going to fetch it immediately. The vet checked it out later and recommended to have it inside and on antibiotics until it would get better. Lucky we went to check on them today!

 

 

 

 

Beautiful winterweather the last days with wonderful sunsets. The horses enjoyed their time outside despite the cold temperatures.

 

 

 

 

 

Time to overhaul our homepage! I've been very lazy the last months and now there's a lot to do. 
I'm trying to update the blogg and go through the other pages of this site. Will take some time to do so, but you'll hopefully stay tuned and be patient with me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... a welcome. We had to say goodbye to our stablecar a few days ago after more than 10 years of valuable services as a tractor, towing vehicle and a lot more. It would have been rather expensive to replace the head gasket and not sure if it would have done the trick. 
Now we had to look for a new best friend and were lucky to get one here in town. He'll hopefully be as faithful as the old one and serve us well. The horses liked him straightaway as there was a big bag of bread in the trunk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It has been snowing the last days and the weather hasn't been too inviting, but today the sun was shining and the horses got a day off and access to the big field. Sigtýr arrived back home, too and so it was interesting to see how things would go when putting them all together. 
To make a long story short: they definitely had a lot of fun, rushing front and back in the deep snow. Enough exercise for one day.
