You may believe me that it was a rather difficult night, lots of really ugly thoughts about what could probably have happened to the horses.
Starting around 8 this morning, we went to fix the fence close to the mainroad. We had to get sledge hammers to get the ice off the wire. Managed to clean the upper most of 3 wires. When it started to get bright we decided to start looking for the horses. We hadn't moved that far when I had a look down to our meadow and the windshelter there. First I thought I was victim of a Fata Morgana, but then I realized that there were horses in the shelter for sure! Don't know who was happier: us or the horses. They started to run towards us, but then stopped and waited for us to arrive. Obviously old Vordís found a better place to stay overnight during the storm and then brought the group back when the weather got a bit better. We haltered Vordís and Magnús and the rest of the bunch just followed. Now the horses are in the fence close to the road with enough hay and water.  We hope to be able to fix it as soon as possible, but the ground is frozen, so it will be difficult to put poles down. At the moment we use platicpoles where the wooden ones are broken and put orange fencing tape as a second string to increase visibility for the horses.
