The weather was finally the way it was possible to go to Bjarnastaðir and take pictures of the young stallions and geldings. The young mares are still at a big field down at the sea, so it was not possible to reach them.
When we arrived in Bjarnastaðir, we could see that the youngsters had different plans than we about taking pictures and were on their way up the hill followed by Ella and Dóri. As it was no use following them walking through the high snow Dóri went to get his snowsledge to follow them and drive them in. That worked well and it was a wonderful sight to see them gallopping home!
Then we started to take pics of the stallions/geldings for sale and eventhough it was not easy to walk them to the roundpen, we even did that as you can see!

Skömm frá Hellulandi is new on our salespage. She is a daughter of Hróður frá Refsstöðum and the first class mare Rós frá Hellulandi. Probably a competition/breedinghorse for the future.

We were quite busy the last days putting up the side with saleshorses. We were talking to our friends, asking for horses to be put on it, taking pictures and finally setting everything together. At the moment are 12 horses on the salesside, rangeing from foals to fully trained horses.
Maybe there is something for you?

As the level of river Laxá is getting higher and higher it was time to move most of our horses from Holmavað to other places. Vordís, Bragur, Kátína, Pjakkur, Ösp, Mímir and Jodís went to Bakki, where they will hopefully stay till New Year. In Bakka is a big herd of horses at the moment and there is enough to eat for all of them. It was less trouble than expected to catch all the youngsters and they were all going without problems into the trailer.

Hugsun, Huginn and Alrún went to our fence next to the road, where we'll soon start to feed them hay. Alrún just followed Hugsun into the trailer, but unfortunately Huginn didn't follow his mum at all. In the end Ingo and Bensi had to catch him and put him into the trailer. It was quite funny to watch them trying to catch him. Unfortunately was my camera in the car when they did it...

Perla, Katla, Amor and Vaka are staying in Holmavað and get good hay from Bensi. Think they'll come well over the winter...

Ögn is still on our summerpasture and should take care of the rest of grass there together with Gisli's mare. When they are finished they'll be moved to Bakki too.
