Northernlights

Tonight the sky was full of amazingly beautiful Northernlights dancing front and back right over Húsavík. I used the oppurtunity to try my camera and got some quite ok pics. Still they cannot capture the entire beauty of this wonder of nature.

Short horseoverview

Just to give you a short update who is where ;)

Perla and Embla are finished in their basictraining and waiting to go home to Helluland.

Glæta, Kátína and Ösp are waiting to start their further training, still having a break at the moment.

Farsæll, List and Magnús are in endurance training to lose weight (especially List...) and build up muscels.

They are all doing well and it is a huge step forward for us to be able to use the new riding hall. We use the ride down there to warm up and can just start working with the horses when we arrive there.

The other horses are outside and enjoy the beautiful view over Skjálfandafljót and the mountains on the other side of the bay (and their hay..).

Farsæll

Well, today it is exactly 4 years since Farsæll arrived at Húsavík.

He developed so much better than we dared to expect, becoming a really beautiful but gentle stallion, who is doing very well in training.

At the moment we try to build up his strength and endurance and therefore I work with him as often as possible. We neglect the tölt and just work at the basic gaits. Farsæll loves to work and tries to please his rider. It is no problem to go for a ride with others, no matter if the other horses are geldings or mares. I'm really happy how well he is doing and I think it tells much about a horse when you dismount with a smile on your lips emoticon

Happy New Year...

... and thanks for the old one!

We wish you all the best for 2012 and may your wishes come true.

Our horses had a quiet night, they are not bothered about the fireworks, hardly having a look around midnight when everybody is greeting the new year with colourful explosions. We are very grateful, that they take it so well and don't panic.

We had a nice and calm evening, watching the big fire and fireworks at 16.30. The firework was not as impressive as the last years as it was a bit foggy and you couldn't see them as well as the year before. Afterwards we celebrated the 75th birthday of Ingólfur's dad, had fantastic lamb for dinner, played with the kids, watched TV until we finally went to greet the new year with a tiny lightshow. The kids loved it ;)

What are the news of our trainingshorses?

Katla,Freyja and Jódís already got their well deserved holiday and are enjoying themselves outside in a big field.
Glæta, Perla and Embla had a short Christmasbreak, but are still inside to finish their basiceducation.

The sisters Ösp and Kátína are inside now to fresh up the basics and start their training as ridinghorses.
List is inside to start her diet and fitnessprogramm to get her in shape soon.

Magnús and Farsæll are very good friends, playing very much when we set them out together. They enjoy going for refreshing outsiderides. Ingólfur trained Farsæll a bit outside while I was visiting my family in Austria. I'm very happy in how fine shape I got him back, going forward and fun to ride.

Well, there is enough to do for us, we won't get bored!
