Nice Ride
July 27th, 2010
Me and Erro went out for a nice ride around the village this evening. We took the boss and his wife. Erro had to lead Stjarna. It was quite nice and when we got home we had some HappyHoof – it’s my favourite you know! Helgi
Demo at Horse Camp
July 26th, 2010
Me and Erro went to a new place yesterday called Eland Lodge Equestrian Centre. We did a demo for some nice people who were on a weekend camp. They had some great big horses with them. We did our demonstration with the boss’ wife and Simone. The boss’ wife did lots of talking and Simone rode [...]
Chinese Horse Exhibition
July 20th, 2010
The boss says that he’s thinking of sending someone to promote Icelandic Horses in China. There is an exhibition in Shanghai. I thought that it would be very exciting to go, but Erro, who an expert traveller, asked how far it was. Kongur reckons that it’s further than Iceland. He knows Iceland is a long way [...]

The boss’ wife was out lungeing Stjarna today in the school. We weren’t allow to talk to her ‘cos she’s in quarantine.

Nice Ride

Erro and I went out with the boss and his wife this evening. We went to visit Brekki and his new wives. He’s got two of them. They seem quite nice but they were a bit shy. Brekki says that he is staying at the other end of the field and getting on with his [...]
Waste Not Want Not!
July 7th, 2010
I had to go up to the house at the weekend to do some extra grazing (It’s a tough job but someone has to do it.) Meanwhile the boss was picking up the poo in the field. My fellow field-mates found this old hav on the muckheap that was going to waste. They did their [...]
Norway
July 7th, 2010
The boss and the boss’ wife have been in search of the midnight sun. They said that they had a jolly nice time, even though it’s not very warm up there. The grass is very green – sounds lovely to me! Here are some photos. Shame there aren’t any horses! May be they’ll take me [...]
