Easterholiday

Finally we have a few days off from work and good weather. Saturday we started early in the stable and went to the big riding hall with Hjördís. The horses were allowed to the big field afterwards and celebrated their freedom with rolling themselves like crazy in the snow, bucking and running allover.

In the afternoon we went to Akureyri, celebrating the birthday of Jói, Ingólfur's nephew. Good food, very nice people - what can you ask more?

Sunday we went to get Mieke's Jódís from training in Bergsstaðir. She was there for 2 months of training and we really liked what we saw. She's trying to please her rider, strong and all gaits open. Very nice ridinghorse for nearly everybody I'd say. Jódís joined Kátína and the others in the field and of course tried to take over the herd the moment she entered the field. Some things never change.

The weather was so good, we spent some time with the foalmares. No idea where Þyrnirós wants to grow, but she's very big for her age, rather looking like some coldblood foal than an Icelandic foal... Looking very much forward to seeing her in her summerfur.

Her big brother Sigtýr is doing well too, big and beautiful, have to try and picture him soon.

Yesterday we went early to the stable and trained our horses (they are still wondering why on earth we are always so early now) and allowed them to the big field afterwards. They really like that.

Today will be busy with taking pics and videos of Kiddi's mares that are in training at Erlingur's place. I'm really looking forward to seeing them, especially Perla, sister of List.
