The weather is fantastic, the ice is thick and strong so what would be nicer than a good ride over a frozen lake?
Yesterday we used these perfect conditions to take a ride on Kaldbakstjörn and today we met a few riders up on Botsvatn, where the ice is even thicker and you can ride for more than 1,5 kilometers in one direction. Looks like everybody is having fun!

Svarti-Pétur, the small black and white kitten, and Brandur, his big brother, are getting more and more used to being in Saltvík and around the horses. They are making friends with these big and powerful creatures and Svarti-Pétur has already found out that it is not too bad to have a big and furry friend. At least you can use him as a sofa! List doesn't mind the little fellow on her back and he thanks her with cleaning her winterfur.

We wish you a happy and successful New Year 2010!

As usual there was a big bonfire on 31th of December in the late afternoon and beautiful fireworks too. Short before midnight the inhabtitants of Húsavík started their private fireworks and soon the nightsky was lit up by an uncountable number of firework. A really beautiful view! See a few pics in the new album.

The older classes of the school in Húsavík can choose Horsemanship as a subject. At the moment they have lessons in horsebackriding, later in winter they'll have theorylessons and in spring practical lessons again.
We used the beautiful weather to have a small competition outside with the more experienced group.
Looks like they had fun!
