Farsæll´s foals

As you know Farsæll covered some mares in summer 2010 and while surfing on the internet I found a very pretty daughter of him named Eldey.
I contacted her owner and breeder Sirrý (www.soldalhestar.com) and she was so kind to send me a short description and a picture of the little lady. I´m very happy to see such a nice daughter of our Farsæll and hope she´ll fulfill all the expectations of her owners.

Here´s a pic of little Eldey:

Next steps

Well, the next step was taken by Jódís and Glæta! They are on the best way to become ridinghorses. Yesterday they walked their first rounds with me on their back in the ridinghall. Both did their job very well, eventhough they were not so sure about the thing on their back in the beginning. As I know them they'll get used to that soon and it will take just a short time till we can skip the safety line.
Freyja is doing fine too, getting used to all kinds of scary noises behind the walls as our neighbours in Saltvík are getting their stable ready, using a lot of different tools making scary noises. Freyja already trusts me that much, that she doesn't try to escape but stands by my side and has a closer look.
Magnús and Ösp came inside too and are waiting for their turn in training.
Farsæll of course is very happy to have "his" Magnús back as he finally got someone to play.

Icelanders in Austria - Part 2


Do you remember the little Icelandic chicks in Austria? If not, you find them in our Blogg in September.
Well, as you know, little chicks grow and that´s exactly what these 4 fellows did and still do. They are growing and growing and getting more and more beautiful. Their new owner thinks the biggest difference from his other chicken is, how fast they are. At the last photosession it was not possible to let them loose otherwise they would have been gone.
I attach a few pics and am looking forward to get more news of them.

Training

Well, it has been quite some time since I wrote last, but our days were so filled, it was hardly time to be at the computer.
The training is going fine, all young horses are behaving well and are making steps forward. Some smaller than others but all in the right direction.
We already put the saddle on all youngsters, which took it quite well. Just Embla made a small hop when she was supposed to walk with this strange thing on her back out of the box. None of them was trying to get the saddle off so it was rather unspectacular for the watchers.
The next step was of course mounting them. As I already said before, these mares are all A-students and taking new things so well and therefore it was no problem to mount for the first time. Think the candy they got as reward helped a bit.
Ingólfur and Katla are already walking their rounds without help in the ridinghall, whilst the others are still on their way there. I think Embla will be the next one "let loose". At the moment I still have her on the safetyline while Ingólfur is on back. But in fact he is telling her where to go and how fast. 

Farsæll is doing very well too, I´ve started riding him inside and am waiting for a partner to go for outsiderides. Think he´ll like that better than being ridden inside all the time. 
As you can see, there is enough to do for us every single day ;)
