Busy Saturday

All the things we did today could fill a few days ;-)
In the morning we met the members of Grani, the local riding club, and took part in Húsavík Cleaning Day, which is every year in spring. All the clubs in town get an area they are supposed to clean from all kinds of trash. At lunchtime everybody is invited to have a hot dog and drink at the school. We skipped the hot dog and had instead coffe and cakes at the clubhouse emoticon

At one o´clock we met our friends in Saltvík, put a lot of horses in 3 trailers and went to Víðiholt to have a so called "rekstrarferð" which means you take a ridingtour and let all the horses you can find run free with you. It´s a good trimmprogramm for the horses and they learn a lot about how to behave in a herd. And it gives the photographer a lot of opportunities to get good pics.

Then it was time to put Embla outside again. Before that we clipped her hooves, which went really well, no struggling or stress. Hope that the other youngsters will be like that too, when we take them. When we arrived in the field we first caught Ösp, who finally should start her training, and put her in the trailer, then we released Embla. She was really happy to be free again, eventhough the other horses were not soooo friendly with her in the beginning. Good to see her running again!

After a quick dinner we took a drive to Helluland and had a look at the colourful lambs and the youngsters from last year. There are some really interesting horses and we are looking forward to see how they´ll develop the next years. Especially Fluga and her brother were impressive.
