We proudly present...

...Farsæll and Hjördís! It looks like we got a new horse-rider pair in Saltvík. Hjördís has always been very fond of Farsæll, being proud to sit on his back, give him treats or just brush him. When we went to the stable on Saturday, I offered her a ride on him, knowing he'd take good care and wouldn't do anything stupid with his precious freight. It went very well, they tried walk and trott, stopp and go, left and right. Today it was easy to say "Yes, you can ride him again!" and I took a little video of this cute pair. Farsæll is only 5, but very secure and does his best to understand the signals, Hjördís is sending. She is not yet a very confident rider, her hands still shaky and unsteady and having difficulties to sit in the saddle on trott. But that's something to work on and I think, together with Farsæll we'll manage to teach and learn a lot. Hope she wants to keep going and comes more often with us to the stable.

The other horses are fine, Embla was taking a walk outside the fence, so we put her with the broodmares and foals to our "prisonfence". Hope she'll stay there. Our warmwaterpipe is obviously getting into the nerves of somebody in the new stablearea. We know it is not isolated too well, but tried our best to fix it. It is melting the ice off the way and there comes a small icefree part on the road, which wouldn't be a problem if the road was cleaned properly. Anyway we discovered on Saturday that somebody had turned off the water, which was the drinkingwater for our outsidehorses, without telling us. Now the whole pipe is frozen as we had no chance to empty it. Probably it is now broken somewhere on the way to our fence, which is unpleasant as it wasn't cheap to make it. We turned the water on, hoping it would maybe melt it's way through again, just to discover, it was turned off again when we checked in the morning. Now we opened and taped the tap. Hope whoever had his fingers on it understands that message!
