Moms and dads horses

I thought I was going to talk about horses. Of course I am the greatest interest and best thing that ever happened in their lifes – but a part from that mom and dad share the same life style. It is build with horses. Even when mom gave birth to me she was thinking about her mare that also was going to get a newborn. And can you imagine - both mom and her mare gave birth at the same day!! Mom named her Isafold and she has told me I am going to get this when older. Isafold and I am born on a very particular magic day. We are born in "Jonsmess-midsummer" which is a very old tradition in the Nordic countries. Talking about vikings and their believes this day was magic and a lot's of traditions still celebrates today. The swedes are rising a leaved tree which they are dancing around. One magic thing is that this night you shall pick 7 different flowers and put them under your pillow then you will dream about your next comming husband.



this is Isafold last year when
she was only a couple of weeks old

This year both mom and dad got newborns. In an earlier blog you can see my dad's prince.




This is Isabella – moms latest newborn.

Totally mom and dad have 12 horses. In Iceland the horses is outside in big fields close to the mountains during the summer and fall. In end of december horses are brought inside the stable. Mom and dad have their own stable very close where we live. I love beeing in the stable and during all winter I had my waggon there. Very often I was sleeping in the stable while mom or dad was horse riding. Of course some one always look after me.

One of their gratest horse hobby is to go on long trips. As you know we were recently on a 9 days tour but very often they go on 4 hours ride. Then I have to be in the car. I must say I am pretty tired at the moment beeing in the car but still it is ok if I have my pink bunny with me.

Ok, now I have been talking about newborns. Mom says I have to show her golden mare: Princess or Snot – as that is her real name.

Snot from Selfoss

Snot is now seeing Bliki from Bergi. I was sitting on his back when we yesterday was bringing the mare to him in Bergi.

Bliki from Bergi – a very calm and nice stallion.

Mom also has her own youngster and she is dreaming this will be her 1 prize stallion when he gets older. He is 2 years now:

Feykir from Nordurgröf

ok, this was all for now. I have got a bad cold with fever so I am mostly sleeping nowdays
