Rekstur

is it called, when you send your horses jogging. Bjarni and Jósi already prepared a 3 km circuit to allow their horses to run free once in a while. They allowed us to use the track and showed us, where it would be best to have a person or car standing to prevent the horses from taking wrong turns. After checking everything, closing roads and gates and putting our horses and those of Jón Óli and Siffi in the paddock, their first jogging round could start.

The horses had a quickstart and then lined nicely up in a row as they should do when you go on a longer trip. I was waiting with my camera at the gate down to the mainroad to make sure the horses would take the turn there and not try to keep going straight. It was so much fun to watch them running and enjoying their freedom.

Afterwards we went to sort our outsidehorses. The fatter ones went to a different field where they get less strong hay than the mares and youngsters. They were not entirely happy about it, but will have to get used to it.

Last but not least it was time to go for a ride. Ingólfur went with 2 handhorses, Magnús and Geisli. Bjössi took Venus and therefore more than half of the horses on this ride were out of Gustur frá Grund.

While I was coaching Guðrún and her youngster, the guys went for another ride so all horses in our stable, except for Kátína, went out twice today.
