Laufskálarétt

This weekend we joined our friends at Miðsitja for the annual horseroundup Laufskálarétt in Skagafjörður. Fridayevening was a show in Sauðárkrókur, where riders from near and far showed their best horses. Of course there was a pacerace through the ridinghall. Þórarinn Eymundsson and Bragur took part and managed to win this event at 4,77 seconds. Congrats!

Saturdaymorning we put the horses on two trailers and joined the farmers gathering their horses. Ingólfur got Aría, the mare he rode there last year, and I got Hilmir, Ingunn's horse. We really enjoyed the ride in this beautiful landscape with good friends. I think there were in fact more riders than freeroaming horses... Anyway it was very nice to stop, listen to the riders sing, chat a bit and so on.

In the evening we got delicious dinner and had a good party. Thanks for us and hopefully again next year!

Sigtýr & Þrá

After being castrated on 28th of August Sigtýr was ready to be moved to Haga. Ögn was already there, List supposed to go with him and Þrá was due to arrive from the East. It was a very interesting day for young Fjördís, getting to know all these new horses. They just ran a bit and when we left they were already grazing together.

Hraunsrétt

After meeting the herd and the riders yesterday at Geitafell it was time to sort the sheep today. I was lucky and got all 3 of them back, eventhough the little ewe didn't follow her mum as she was supposed to. But in fact she has been like that just from the start. Kristján found Snilld in the arena and shortly after that I grabbed her little ram. She hasn't changed a bit during summer and started to beg for food right away. And she started to drink beer... Bit young to do that!

Sheeproundup

Time to go to the mountains and collect the sheep from their summerpasture. Ingólfur, Bjössi and a few others rode to Þeistareykir today and will start gathering the sheep early tomorrow morning. I hope to get my sheep and its lambs healthy back. Looking forward to sorting them on Sunday. As you can see the guys had quite some fun on their way to the hut. That's the way it should be!

How to...

...get your lambs home, when they are grazing on an island. Bensi and Kristján went to fetch 2 lambs they kept on a small island in river Laxá over the summer. Just see how they did it!

Volcanic eruption

Finally there is an eruption in Iceland, but people are not allowed to go close yet. So we went as close as we could and took some pics from very far away. Nevertheless you can imagine, how powerful nature is.

Krakkareiðtúr Grana

Today the local riding club offered all the kids to come together, go for a ride, play games in the ridinghall and have some pizza.

We were amazed to see how many joined and it was great to watch them having a lot of fun. Ingólfur and Hjördís joined the group and I think they both really liked it.
