Visiting good friends

Finally we managed to go and visit Marietta Maissen and Pétur Behrens at their home in Höskuldsstaðir/Breiðdalur (Easticeland).
Even the trip there was adventurous as we were lucky and a male reindeer crossed the road just in front of us. We had seen it running with the fence next to the road and stopped to take some pictures. At that moment it jumped over the fence and crossed the road!
But that was not the only reindeer to see! There was a young one in a herd of horses at Ketilsstaðir near Egilsstaðir.

Well, it was good to meet Pétur and Marietta after such a long time and we had good and interesting talks about horses, horsebreeding, riding, training horses and so on. Of course we went to have a look at their riding/breedinghorses and took a lot of pics. Just have a look at them in the picture albums.

Now we are waiting for them to finally come and visit us here in Húsavík!

Little princess

Perla's marefoal has grown quite a lot during their time away and the little lady is quite lively and really nosy. She has to take a close look at us every time we come and eventhough she doesn't dare to be touched she comes, sniffs our boots or hands or tries to eat the spade we are working with. Her mum has a close eye on her and calls her the moment she's too close for her taste. Nevertheless it will just be a matter of days till we can touch and clap Perla's princess.

Gisli's horses

Today we went to help Gisli move his young stallion Stuðlar frá Húsavík (F: Draumur frá Lönguhlið, M: Hrauna frá Húsavík) to a new field and new friends. He is now staying with Bjarni's young stallions and the 3 fellows will have a lot of fun running and playing.

It will be interesting to see how Stuðlar will develop and if he's gonna be Gisli's next first class stallion.

Perla & Farsæll

Perla was sonar checked last monday and unfortunately she was not with foal out of Gustur. But according to the vet it was the best time to have her with a stallion so we went to get Farsæll.
Hopefully he'll charm her and we get a nice foal out of this pair next spring.

Competition in Einarsstaðir

Saturday and Sunday the annual competition in Einarsstaðir took place. A lot of members of Léttir, the riding club in Akuryrei, took part, many from Þjálfi and some of Grani.
Ingólfur and Bragur signed into Fivegait and Pace. Fivegait didn't go as well as we hoped, but Pace was good and so he got into 7th place of 20 with a time of 8,75. The first run was faster, but Bragur jumped out off pace a few meters before the finish, so they didn't get a time.

Sindri frá Vallanesi and Baldvin Ari won Pace with a time of 8,15 and became second in Fivegait with an overall score of 8,44. Ásdís Helga and Vón frá Árgerði won Fivegait with 8,50 and Tölt with 7,00.
