Perla coming home
There we had to drive the whole herd in to give them the injection for deworming and keeping them licefree over winter. Not everybody was happy about being grabbed and treated by Mieke. The reactions ranged from easy and calm to handle (the grownups, Ögn, Kátína and Farsæll) to not so willing to be put on a halter and even really trying to escape by jumping the fence twice (Huginn). Well, in the end we got them all!
I think, everybody was happy, when this work was done and the horses were allowed to go back into their field!

Visit at the field
Recently we visited our horses in the field and were amazed how fast our ridinghorses gained weight there... Vordís and Bragur had a quite big grasbelly when we arrived (not to talk about the young horses...) and seemed to enjoy their holiday.

Potatoeharvest
But first of all they have to pass the "Tastetest" and then will be decided about what to do next year.

Skrapatungurétt - Horse Roundup
We used the good weather on sunday to go and have a look at Skrapatungurétt close to Blönduos. Around 600 horses were gathered together in the mountains, where they were allowed to roam free during the summer months, and driven down to Skrapatungurétt where they were sorted out and driven back to their homefarms by their owners.
I really liked how the farmers were treating the horses while sorting them. Everybody tried to work together and do it as calm as possible. No unnecessary show!
Of course I had my camera with me! You find the pics in "Horses" - "Skrapatungurétt 2008".
Our friend Mieke was with us, she took a lot of pics too and put them in her own Webalbum. Just click here if you want to have a look!

Göngur & Rétt
Thursday and friday we collected sheep and drove them south to a fence where they stayed over night to saturday. Saturday morning we started to herd them down to Hraunsrétt where they are sorted out on sunday.
Some sheep had quite different ideas about directions than we... So we often had to go and drive them back or try to stop them from going at all. Not an easy job all the time and some were trying again and again and again... I think everybody was happy, when we had them safe in the fence next to Hraunsrétt.
Sunday at 10 in the morning, the sorting started. We had to look for lambs and sheep with the number 45 Þ 5 on their earmarks and bring them to Bensi's place in the rounduparea. Not so easy as they have been spending the summer free and untouched in the mountains and were therefore not so willing to give up their freedom and let themselves be caught...

Summer
It's quite some time since we blogged last, but the summer was just too good to hang in front of the computer...
After the Northern Exposure Tour in july, we had 1 week off and went for nice rides with our horses and relaxed a bit. Additionally we had to prepare our "Private Specialtour" and get everything ready for meeting Sígrún and her friends.
It was a great tour from Akureyri to Mývatn and Aðaldalur! Just have a look at the pics! Fantastic weather, fantastic horses, great riding tracks and interesting and funny people to be with. In fact, this tour was like holiday for us!
Then it was time for our trip to Austria, meeting family and friends, doing a bit of sightseeing, having a good time! The summer showed itself from it's best side and so it was sunny but too hot for our taste. Nevertheless we had a really good time and took a big bunch of pictures. I had no time yet to go through all of them and put them online, but I'll do that as soon as possible!
When we came back, it was time to start school again... Our summerholidays were way too short!
