Another early Saturday

We just repeated the procedure from last Saturday and started our day early at Saltvík. All horses were trained today before they went outside in the field for their weekendbreak. Nökkvi and I went for our first longer trail, down to the house, where I had to get off and lead him a bit to get through between the house and the constructionsite. He stood like a statue when I mounted again and then we went upphill and back to the stable, where we met Ingólfur and Sæla going on their first outsideride. We accompanied them a bit and both horses are very selfconfident outside, easygoing and not worried when the other horse is leaving. Just the way it should be!

Prímus is always trying to get some treats by lifting his frontlegs as I taught him to do this on command when I want to lift them. Learning in progress, maybe he'll become a Showhorse one day.

We saw a few very nice jumps when we put them in the field again and Píla, the Border Collie, would have loved to make the horses move a bit more, but didn't get an OK for that.

The mares and foals had fun in the snow, too, which means I got some nice shots today. I'm a bit hesitating of posting pics of List as she's looking like a Thelwellpony at the moment... Will be quite some work to get her in shape again.
