Sunday, sunday...

...what a beautiful day! The weather was perfect, the air soft and with a promise of spring, the birds singing their song, the horses in good mood, so what should we do?
Our friend Tómmi had a really good idea to break the daily routine for us and the horses. We put them into two trailers and went to Sandur, a quiet road close to Húsavík. We, that were: Tómmi, his daughters Thelma and Sigrún, Dagný Anna, the two of us and, last but not least, Hjördís, who started to ride quite a lot since she moved back to Húsavík and is taking one big step after the other.
When we arrived at the parkingplace, we made the horses ready (it was 5 black horses - Magnús, Ólmur, Greifi, Dimma and Kría, 1 red horse - Ögn and 1 reddun - List) and then decided which way to go. First we were thinking about riding the gravelroad to Hraunkót, but then we changed the plan and took the old road, which lies like an enchanted way through a lavafield and a birchforest. You could literally smell the spring in the air!
After going over small leftover snowfields we had a good ride on the soft track. The horses willing and thinking forward, having fun in the new surroundings, showing themselves at their best.
We took a break halfway and then went back over the gravelroad. Hjördís took her first steps in learning how to let Ögn tölt, which went fine and you could see how proud she was when she managed to do it right.
Magnús did fine, eventhough he was not so sure about Ögn as a handhorse at first. He was dancing a bit in the beginning, but always obeying Ingólfur and trying to do everything right. What a horse!
List was in good mood, a bit like a bomb in the start, but getting light on the reins after a few meters and then she was getting better and better. Tölt from slow up to good middle speed, fast trott and a bit pace *g* On the way back I went off and led her the rest to the trailer as she did a really good job and had earned herself a break.
It was a perfect Sundayafternoonride, one and a half hour of fun and joy, everybody enjoying themselves.
