A long workingday
After a lazy Sundaymorning we started to fix the tarpaulin of our trailer as it was starting to ripp on top. Hope this will work out the way we were planning. Then it was time to check out if Þrá was ready for meeting the stallion we chose for her. She definitely was ready so we called our vet, who's the owner of the chosen stallion and asked if we could come with her straight away. Last year we left her with this stallion in the fence but had to get her straight away the next morning as he wasn't happy about her and threw her out of his group. Þrá definitely remembered him and started to show signs of stress and submission, but relaxed when she realised he wasn't going to harm her. She behaved a bit stupidly and made it difficult for Bósi to do his job, but in the end he managed. We'll bring her back there on Tuesday and then she'll stay at our vet's place and he'll keep her until she's finished in heat. Now we just have to monitor List as she's supposed to meet Bósi when she's ready, too.
It was nearly 8 o'clock when we left there and the plan was to drive Katla, Vordís and Krummi to Halldórsstaðir, where they are going to join a horsetrip this week. At least Katla and Vordís have to loose a lot of kilos before they start looking like ridinghorses again. They definitely had a far too good time during winter.
When we started our drive home from the first trip, I spotted a pair of red-throated divers with a young one, first time I ever saw them in nature. Luckily my camera was ready and Ingólfur ready to wait for me. So I slipped closer and got a few pics. The red-throated diver is the bird of the year in Iceland.
Next trip was fetching Krummi in Saltvík and getting him into the trailer. He wasn't happy about that and tried to avoid it as his best, but gave in in the end and just walked into the trailer. As it was that time consuming to get him in the trailer, we decided to drive him all the way to Halldórsstaðir instead of leaving him at Helluland, which was the first plan, as Kiddi had to drive horses from there up to Halldórsstaðir anyway. Krummi was happy to see the 2 mares already waiting there for him and left in a rush. On the way home we stopped at Helluland and had a nice chat with Kiddi, who was preparing his stuff for the horsetrip. Now it was already midnight and definitely time to drive back home.
Last stop was at our fence, where Ingólfur fetched our horses down from the hillside, where they had spent the day. Happy and tired when we finally arrived home. Some days are like this, but when the sun is shining, you stop looking at your watch.
