Shock and grief

We are shocked and most sadly that we have to announce here, that our favourite mare Hugsun and her son Muninn left our meadows due to an accident forever.
Words can hardly describe how I feel writing this, who would think about losing what you have longed for for years just in an instant?

When we went to get Hugsun and Muninn on Sunday to bring her to a stallion, everything seemed so normal. But when we arrived at the field, there was no sign of her and her son. So we hoped they would have left the field together. Well, they had not, Ingólfur found them accidentally in a big hole that had opened under them. Hugsun was standing there, the icy water reaching up to her back, Muninn was already dead.
Bensi and Ketill came to help us, getting Hugsun out of the hole. To do that, Ketill and Ingólfur jumped into the hole and put girths around her, Bensi lifted her then with the tractor. We covered her with our jackets to keep a bit of heat in her and went straight to the animalhospital in Húsavík.
Vignir, our vet, was most helpful and came in his holiday to help us trying to save the mare. We fought for her life but all in vain. Her systems started to break down yesterday in the afternoon, so we had to let her go over the rainbowbridge. There she will be on evergreen meadows with her sons Huginn and Muninn, who Óðinn called to his services already earlier.
Hugsun will live on in her 3 daughters Ögn, Ösp and Kátína and of course in our memory.

I want to say thank you to everyone that supported us in that difficult time, kept his fingers crossed, came for a visit and hoped with us. Good to have friends like you!

Here a picture of Hugsun and Muninn the way we want to remember them! A beautiful and proud mother and her beautiful son.
