After getting a small glimpse of Þrá's and Fjördís' foals yesterday, we spent quite some time there to watch them and see how they'd react to having us around for quite some time. And of course to check if List already had her "red stallionfoal" (Ingólfur is always teasing me that I'll get a chestnut stallion instead of the colourful mare I'm hoping for). Well, she hadn't and it doesn't look like she'll go into labour very soon. Hope she won't explode until then...
At first both mares and foals were really cautious and preferred to flee instead of talking to us, but after sitting down and Fönix and Svipur deciding to check us out and get a good scratch, everybody calmed down and both foals couldn't resist coming and having a look at us. I really liked what I saw and am all agog with curiosity how Ingólfur's colt will develop, he's such an eyecatcher.
Afterwards we checked out our horses in Hagi. They were quite far away but after whistling Snerpa started to come towards us followed by Kóngur and Rögnir. Pandóra seemed not to know what to do, wanting to follow the teenagers, but her mum banned it and ran away instead. As I had feared the flies had been that aggressive that Snerpa had nearly scratched off all of her mane... Well, it will regrow and I was already prepared for it. So no Tina Tuner looks until late winter.
The youngsters were happy to see us whilst Vordís and Pandóra were just dashing to and fro, which made it possible for me to get some nice pics. Anyway, hope she'll be more relaxed next time.
