News - from January 2010July 15, 2010 April 16, 2010 March 13, 2010 January 25, 2010 January 16, 2010 July 15, 2010 Busy riding seasonI´m really sorry that I have not updated our news for such a long time. The weeks just seem to fly and pass by during the last months. Many things would have been worth to mention and to tell about, for instance the foals. We have once again a very colorful herd of foals. Our 1st prize mare Veiga got a beautiful yellow dune mare after the famous stallion Froði frá Staðartungu. Kvika (1st prize) and her daughter Vænting (after Tindur frá Varmalæk) got mare foals after the 1st prize stallion Roði frá Garði. We are very happy about these mares which are probably future breeding prospects. We started the riding season in May. All longer tours for this summer are fully booked and we are pleased about the busy season of our "10 year anniversary" year. There is still place left for the sheep and horse round up in September. As many of you may already know has Landsmót 2010, the big horse event in the beginning of July, been cancelled. The reason for that was an infectious coughing disease which many horses have been suffering from during the last months. Instead of the planned "Landsmót program" we put up an alternative riding/discovering program which went very well. Beside our longer riding tours we offer as every year 1-4 hour rides for people who are traveling around the island and like to experience the Icelandic horse. Many tourists have already found their way to us. April 16, 2010 Made of fire and iceMany things have been going on here since my last news. First of all to mention are the volcanic activities. After the beautiful eruption on Fimmvörðuháls we got now a very inconvenient eruption on Eyjafjallajökull. The volcano centre is under the glacier. When lava meets ice it becomes ash which is thrown out of the volcano in big explosions. Our dog Skutla got five beautiful puppies just before Easter and we enjoy them every day. We are now looking for new owners and hope to get nice homes for them. March 13, 2010 Winter trainingFebruary has already passed and the March days are flying while they get longer and longer. Our riding tour program for next summer is very well booked and we are very pleased about that and look forward to welcome this year´s first guests. Please have a look at our program to see the actual capacities. January 25, 2010 January NewsWhile cold winter weather rules in Europe we have constantly +6°Celsius and storm. The storm makes it impossible for us to ride but nevertheless we use the time as much as possible. Most of the foals have been taken away from their mothers and we took them in the stable for a short first training. We put holder on them, tied them up, thought them to lift the legs etc. It is nice and interesting to get them to know quite well during these days. Beside the work with the horses we have a lot to prepare for next summer. Some riding tours are almost booked out (the Landsmót week has been fully booked since last autumn). Further on we like to show you a few pictures from a mare we sold many years ago. Hylling frá Lýtingsstöðum has been home in Denmark for many years and has been used as a breeding mare. January 16, 2010 A New YearThe new year is already a few days old but I think it is not too late to wish everyone reading this a HAPPY NEW YEAR! We have already many bookings for the next summer and the week around Landsmót in the beginning of July has been booked out since last autumn. We expect many guests, lots of fun and a great Landsmót event. The winter has not been very hard or cold so far and we enjoy the good weather conditions. As you see on the pictures beside we have spectacular morning skies with beautiful colors at the moment. As every half year I have started a new News site and put the last one into the archive where you can look them up whenever you want to. |
