Snowstorm, take II

Snowstorm, again... Just one week after the last one. This time not as long and strong, but still bad enough for the horses and us. Friday the electricity kept going and coming the whole day, at school we even decided to unplug the computers and videobeamers, not to risk to damage them.

Our traininghorses had to stay inside yesterday and were just outside for a short time today. We sent 10 horses in different colours out, but got 10 white ones back inside, so you can imagine how stormy it was. They were covered all over in snow. The outside horses are doing fine, having good shelter and enough food. Usually we'd start feeding them after New Year, but if the weather keeps being like that we have to start feeding soon. 

At least the horsetraining is going well, all of the traininghorses already longed with the saddle, some of them hopping the first time(s), other just taking it as normal to carry something on their back. Bjössi is helping Ingólfur a lot, being our first rider on all of them. So far most of them behaved very well, just being a bit imbalanced, but ready to learn and please. We started to ride Kátína free, she's doing her best to understand why on Earth I'm not longer in the middle but on her back and trying to give her commands from there. Think we are gonna try it with Ingólfur in the middle and me on back next. 

Monday we moved the foalmares, foals and Embla to Húsavík, which went very well, better than we hoped. Gonna move them to a different fence again except for Embla, which is rather fat. She'll be joined by Farsæll, Perla and Ösp. Then we are going to get Freyja home and check her, Vordís and Perla for pregnancy. Keep your fingers crossed with us!
