Prímus left us in the beginning of March and went back to his breeder Halldór who'll try to have him as a tourhorse in his riding tours. Hope that'll go well and am pretty sure that I'm gonna miss him a bit.
As the foal season at our place will start at about the middle of May we decided to move the pregnant mares and the youngsters down to the huge meadow at the seaside. It was 5 horses we had to move. First we caught Kóngur and Rögnir and I walked them to the other place, then Ingólfur walked Þrá and Snerpa and last but not least Vordís, the queen, was transferred, too. To make sure they have a great start there, we fed a new roundbale of hay and rolled it out a bit. So after running wild the horses were rather sweaty and the fresh hay the perfect place to roll over...
Now our herd is reunited and we have to wait and see what is hidden in the big bellies of Vordís, Þrá, List and Fjördís. We of course would love to get marefoals, but Ingólfur already told me that I'm gonna get 2 red stallions... We'll see about that, there are quite a lot of colours I could get.
Vordís was bred again to Snillingur frá Íbishóli (buckskin), which means I could get palomino, buckskin, smoky black, dunalino, dunskin, smoky grullo, red dun, bay dun, blue dun, chestnut, bay and last but not least black.
List was bred to Bósi frá Húsavík (silverdapple), which could result in these colours:  silver dapple, silver dapple bay, silver blue dun, silver bay dun, red dun, bay dun, blue dun, chestnut, bay and black. And this time I hope for at least a star as both parents have a star and a snip.
Þrá and Bósi could get silver dapple, black or chestnut and Fjördís and Óskasteinn red dun, bay dun, blue dun, chestnut, bay and black and 50% chance of a spotted foal if she isn't homozygotus for spotted. So interesting times waiting for us!
