I admit, I've been very lazy updating the homepage and keeping our blogg alive.
But I didn't realize, how lazy I was infact until checking out, when I blogged last time. That was in early December and I was a bit shocked, that I haven't done anything here since then... Mea culpa!
I'll try to get things up to date as soon as possible, working my way from December to March, putting in posts and pics from the last nearly 4 months.
Hope you keep having a look in here.
I attach a pic from our beachride a few weeks ago.

Prímus left us in the beginning of March and went back to his breeder Halldór who'll try to have him as a tourhorse in his riding tours. Hope that'll go well and am pretty sure that I'm gonna miss him a bit.
As the foal season at our place will start at about the middle of May we decided to move the pregnant mares and the youngsters down to the huge meadow at the seaside. It was 5 horses we had to move. First we caught Kóngur and Rögnir and I walked them to the other place, then Ingólfur walked Þrá and Snerpa and last but not least Vordís, the queen, was transferred, too. To make sure they have a great start there, we fed a new roundbale of hay and rolled it out a bit. So after running wild the horses were rather sweaty and the fresh hay the perfect place to roll over...
Now our herd is reunited and we have to wait and see what is hidden in the big bellies of Vordís, Þrá, List and Fjördís. We of course would love to get marefoals, but Ingólfur already told me that I'm gonna get 2 red stallions... We'll see about that, there are quite a lot of colours I could get.
Vordís was bred again to Snillingur frá Íbishóli (buckskin), which means I could get palomino, buckskin, smoky black, dunalino, dunskin, smoky grullo, red dun, bay dun, blue dun, chestnut, bay and last but not least black.
List was bred to Bósi frá Húsavík (silverdapple), which could result in these colours:  silver dapple, silver dapple bay, silver blue dun, silver bay dun, red dun, bay dun, blue dun, chestnut, bay and black. And this time I hope for at least a star as both parents have a star and a snip.
Þrá and Bósi could get silver dapple, black or chestnut and Fjördís and Óskasteinn red dun, bay dun, blue dun, chestnut, bay and black and 50% chance of a spotted foal if she isn't homozygotus for spotted. So interesting times waiting for us!

I haven't spent many evenings outside to take northernlights pics during wintertime and it was getting brighter and brighter every day so it was more or less my last chance to get some nice shots this season. The forecast looked pretty good and we already saw some lights when driving back from the stable. So after getting everything ready I started my drive up to Höskuldsvatn. There were magnificent lights on the way up so I stopped at a good place and got some very nice pics before I continued my drive. 
When arriving I had to acknowledge that the most powerful lights were over, but I was patient and got nice pics there, too. At least I got a lot of pics to put together into a short timelaps movie, which I plan to put together when I have time. 

There are many different beaches around Húsavík and you'd be surprised how different it is to ride on them. The best one is at Höfðagerðissandur and that's where we went with our friends today. Ingólfur, Laufey, Óli and Gísli grabbed their horses whilst I grabbed my camera. It was so much worth it! Great weather, beautiful light, nice waves, horses and riders having a good time.
We'll have to do that again soon!

After a few very sunny and even warm days, winter is back! With quite some snow. 
Our horses and the horses of Gunna went to the bigger paddock today to have fun in the snow. I had my camera ready when they rushed to the field. You could definitely see who was used to the sound of the camera and who not.
