Finally we updated the pages about our horses.
Hekla, who left us in june, was taken out but Vordís and Hugsun's foal, who is named Huginn, were put in.
So have a look!

Summerguests from Austria

We have 2 guests from Vienna since 15.6 and they had hopefully enough a good time until now. Lotte and Peter, Karin's parents, are visiting Iceland for the very first time...
Unfortunately the weather didn't show itself from the best side, but we had some sunny days.
So far we went Whale Watching, having a good look at huge bluewhales, visited Krafla area, the earthbath in Mývatn area, Akureyri (especially 66°North...) and a lot more.
We hope it was not their last stay with us!
On Monday we'll start our journey south and stay over night in Egilsstaðir, near Höfn and in Skógar. Hope the trip will be nice and we'll see a lot of things, maybe even the monster that is said to live in the big lake near Egilsstaðir. Who knows?
Have a look at the pics!

First foal born!

Today Hugsun gave birth to a black stallionfoal out of Geisli frá Sælukoti. The young man is healthy and already greedily drinking from his mum. We hope he'll develop as good as his sister from last year, Kátína, and will become as good and successfull as his father .
Next step will be to find a fitting name...

Time to measure

Yesterday we wanted to know it exactly and decided to measure our youngsters. We had the impression that they were quite big and used the opportunity that they are inside at the moment. To measure we used a band, so we had to take approximately 10cm off the result to know how high they are at their withers.

Here the results:

Name	Measure	Height at withers
Ösp (2006)	137cm	~ 127cm
Kátína (2007)	135cm	~ 125cm
Pjakkur (2007)	133cm	~ 123cm
Farsæll (2007)	125cm	~ 115cm

As you can see Farsæll still has to grow a bit to reach the others. Just have a look at the pic to see the difference between him and Kátína (she´s in the background).

Finally time to blogg again!

Well, first of all sorry that it took us so long time to write again, but mai was really busy here and so not so much time to write.

What was going on?
Hekla and Príma were taken home by their owners. Hekla is on foxhunt right now and Príma is allowed to have holiday till next winter, when we are going on with her training.
Hugsun and Perla were moved to Hólmavað where they should give birth to their foals middle/end of june.
The youngsters are inside at the moment to learn how to be led, picking up hoofes and more. You can believe me that putting on the halter the first time was quite exciting for everybody.
The ridinghorses have been moved to our field where they are staying over summer. I think, they are really happy to be out off the stable...

Then there were these ladies' ridinglessons in Saltvík, which were really good fun and the ladies enjoyed being on horseback quite a lot.

Today was Firmakeppni of the local ridingclub Grani. A lot of kids and grownups were competing. Gisli Haraldson on Kamban frá Húsavík was the winner. Ingólfur and Bragur landed in the 3rd seat, Karin and Vordís were in the group of the 8 best riders/horses. But best about this competition were the hot waffers afterwards
