Training, training and more training

You probably already wondered what we are doing all the time and why nobody is taking care of this blogg. First of all, I´m not gonna promise to write more often, but I´ll try to. There is quite a lot to do at the moment as we have 6 trainingshorses in the stable. Just one of them is ours and that´s Farsæll, who is doing really fine and is behaving like a gentleman. Ingólfur was shoeing him last week and Farsæll stood like he has been shoed a hundred times before.

Well, let´s see how the other horses are doing:

Áli frá Hellulandi is a bluedun son of Galsi frá Sauðárkroki and Dvöl frá Syðri-Brekkum. He is brother to Kyndill and Garri frá Hellulandi, both competitionhorses. Áli is calm in handling, but it sometimes takes him a bit longer to get comfortable with a new situation. Ingólfur has started to mount him and ride a bit inside. He is taking that well. Áli shows powerful and wide movements in trott and we are sure it is not long till he´ll start to tölt.

Askur frá Hellulandi is a bay son of Dalvar frá Auðholtshjáleigu and Slaufa frá Hellulandi. We had his brother Orión in training 2 years ago and just like him he ist learning very fast and eager to do everything right. He is very attentive and it is very giving to work with him. Ingólfur is already riding him loose inside. Askur shows high and wide movements, carrying himself very well. Sometimes he shows tölt while longeing him.

Skömm frá Hellulandi is a darkred daughter of Hróður frá Refsstöðum and Rós frá Hellulandi. She had a foal last summer and just started her training a week ago. When she came she was a bit shy and insecure, but she is getting more and more selfconscious and trusts us better and better. Skömm is now learning the basics, being led and longed and so on. She is a fast learner and tries to make everything right. Often you can really see that she is thinking about what to do, when she is confronted with a new task. It is fun to work with her!

Negla frá Hellulandi is a black daughter of Nagli frá Þúfu and Lukka frá Hellulandi. She is sister of our mare List, but you wouldn´t believe it, if you saw them next to each other...
Negla is already trained and just for "polishing up" with us. Ingólfur always says about her, that she´s the kind of horse, he´d like to have in his toybox as it is so much fun to ride her. She is willing, but listens really well. She needs a bit more power in her hind and then....

Last but not least, there is Tína frá Húsavík, a bluedun daughter of Kamban frá Húsavík and Stína frá Húsavík. She was already with us in spring but she got sick like most of the horses, so we had to stopp her training and take her again in now. In the begining she was quite nervous and had difficulties to concentrate, but after a few weeks of training, we found together and Sigga, her owner already took a few circles inside on her.

Áli, Askur and Tína will leave us soon. Negla and Skömm stay a bit longer and we are looking forward to work with them.
I attach a pic of Negla from last spring and hope the weather is soon good enough to take new pics of all trainingshorses!
