Visitors from the south

Two journalists from Eiðfaxi, one of the Icelandic Horsemagazines, are driving a circle around Iceland, stopping at different places and talking to horsepeople around the country. Óðinn Örn Jóhannsson and Daníel Smárason started their trip on an old Landrover 24th of October, going first East to Hornafjörður, then the Eastfjörds and Egilsstaðir, where their car finally broke down. After changing their car they were able to continue their trip.
Today they visited horsepeople around Húsavík and met Gísli in Saltvík after talking to Einar Viðir, Vignir and Berglind at the new stables. We were in Saltvík, too, when they came, so Óðinn and Daníel had a look at our place, took some pics and an interview with us. I was trying to slip away and let Ingólfur do the interview, but had no chance to do so. At least, I managed to take a pic of our visitors.

Afterwards they were headding to Helluland and Norðurhlið before going to Akureyri. Kiddi didn't believe us, when we called and told him to prepare for their visit. He thought, we were just kidding and was taken by surprise when they showed up at his place. Hope, they asked Miriam some questions, too.

The rest of the day was spent with moving horses, shoeing and training. We moved Ösp and Magnús to Ísólfsstaðir, where they met Ögn, Glói, Isaak and Þokkadís. Magnús had to show off a bit and I was luckily ready with the camera when he rised very slowly on his hindlegs, reminding me of the stallions in the Spanish Ridingschool. Was wondering who showed him a video...
