This week we spent an informative few days with Magnus Skulason working with a number of our horses. As always, we have learnt a lot and pushed ourselves out of the comfort zone! Thank you Magnus!

Here is Sokkull striding out on the treadmill today – it is only his third time on it and he is climbing hills, which is great for building strength. Click here for some video!

 

Last weekend we had a visit from a mother and daughter who came for lessons and also a prospective purchaser of an Icelandic!

Odinn was used for the lessons and he was a star – showing tolt well and behaving beautifully, while Sokkull was ‘as safe as houses’ in the school and in the fields up the farm. We hope to see all of you again one day!

It’s always nice to hear how new owners are getting on – this weekend we have had wonderful news of two of the horses we recently sold; Silfur and Fjalar. Silfur went to her first dressage event and came a very respectable third, whilst Fjalar went out with his new owner in a group ride and was impeccably behaved!!

… And the treadmill is in full use after a hard week of training. Here is Draupnir practicing his hill climbing!

  

This weekend we had the pleasure of some friends visiting and the boys got to play with Komma and have a little ride!

 

Last week, we said goodbye to Fjalar who went to his next home! He wasn’t with us for long and we are not surprised as he was a lovely chap! We wish the new owner lots of fun with ‘Big Ben’!

Last weekend, we held the second session of the SRDP-B group, which included some new faces as well as young riders – there was a lot of fun had by all and we hope some learning too! Once again, it was nice to see improvements in the horses over the weekend and to spend time with other Icelandic horse owners! Thank you for coming!

We are delighted that Ingimar, Silfur and Andvari are off to new homes this week! We hope the new owners have a wonderful future with them!

   
   

  
This weekend Mike and Jemimah travelled to West Tarf to hold a SRDP weekend with a group of enthusiastic riders! It was a fun weekend and every rider put their all into the weekend, so thank you! – We hope the participants enjoyed it as much as us!
