Training the young horses

There is a lot going on in Saltvík right now, the stable is filled up with horses and everybody working and training. We are no exeption and have enough to do with training 3 young horses.
Leira, a palomino mare, is in ownership of Tora and Kolli in Hraunkót. She has been with us for the last 2 months and we will end her training soon so she can have her well earned break. I took her out as a handhorse for the first time today and that went fine, so we'll do that regularly now.

Then there are Óríon and List, both out off Keilir frá Miðsitju and in ownership of Kristján (Kiddi). Eventhough they are really closely related (their mothers are mother and daughter), they are quite different in looks. Óríon is a big, lightbuilt gelding while List is rather small, but with a fine building.
We just started to work them last week and it is going fine with both and they are learning really fast. Today we put the saddle on for the first time, it was no problem to do that and let them run with the saddle after that. So we are looking forward how they'll develop!
