Last sunday, we were at Þeistareykir with a group of Faröan riders, my phone rang and Hrund, Bensi´s daughter, told me, that Hugsun had given birth to her foal. Hrund spotted it first and asked her mum, if she could call us and tell us the good news. Thanks for that!
Well, when I asked for the colour, she wasn´t sure what to say and not Ella either. It was something grey, most likely the same colour as the mare, which would be Ingólfur´s dreamcolour. Hugsun has had 4 foals, but none of them was silver dapple like she is. So could it have finally happened?
Ingólfur talked to Bensi later that evening and he called it a strange colour he had never seen before. Now it was clear, that the foal was silver dapple like its mother.
We were both happy about these news and of course eager to see this foal.
Tuesday on our way back from Mývatn we stopped by and had a look at Hugsun and her foal. When she saw us, she came and presented her son. He is quite big and really nosy. Will be a challenge to find a good name for him!
