Marchreview

Just realized I stopped writing in the beginning of March. What a shame!
Well, there was a lot to do and some unforeseen things happened, which is probably the reason I wasn't very busy writing here.
So here's a small review of March emoticon
On March 15th we had a wonderful walk on the beach eventhough it was snowing slightly. Always magnificent to watch the white waves crashing on the black shore. As it was rather stormy the days before there were a lot of shells on the beach and Hjördís enjoyed collecting some. She even found a Saint James scallop.

Just a few days later or better said on March 20th there was a heavy snowstorm. All our windows and the door were covered in snow and there were just a few kids in school that very day. The horses had to stay inside as all doors were completely covered. The storm continued the day after and the space behind our stable was completely filled with snow up to 4 m thick. So no way in there. Had to dig ourselves in at the other entrance, which wasn't that easy either.
Now we'll have to order a digger to be able to put more hay in the barn. Hope we'll get one soon.

Good thing about snow is of course that you can go skiing! We used the good weather on March 29th to go to Siglufjörður and try out the slopes there. Hjördís and her friend Elsa accompanied us and we had a really nice day there.

And last but not least our Sigtýr found a very convincing way to tell us he wants his box completely emptied... He just flooded everything! Must have been the way that he rolled over in his box as usual and kicked his saltstone out of the mounting and into his automatic drinker. You can imagine the rest of the story...

Mývatn

What a wonderful day! Sunshine, not so cold, little wind - the perfect conditions for the annual ride on Lake Mývatn the day before the competition.
We took part for the first time, cleaned our tack and horses, put Magnús and Aldís in the trailer and off we went. There were more than 50 riders taking part, 2 groups of tourists and a lot of cars. Our horses were really good and it was a fast ride to Hrúthólmar, the ram's island, on the frozen lake. There we got delicious sandwiches and hot kakao. It was nice to chat with friends and foreigners before we rode back to the trailers.
I'd say we meet again next year! Thanks Barla for taking pics with my cam.

Changes

Our stable is rather full these days, we've got 3 trainingshorses additionally to our own horses and those of Magnús and Bjössi. So the 11 places are completely booked and when we want to get a new horse inside, another one has to leave. It was time for a change now, Flugar went out to the winterpasture and Ösp came inside instead. She was not sooo happy about it as it was rather warm for her in her thick wintercoat, but after clipping she seems to be content. She shares the box with Magnús and the two of them are getting along very well.
Talking about Magnús: we got ourselves a co-trainer for him. Iðunn is very happy to help us out and trim him a bit. Think they are both having fun.
