The day after the big snowstorm
Today it was finally over and it started to thaw. Not really better though, because everything is flooded, but we take it as it comes. We had time to try out horses in the arena...

After a joint breakfast this morning, we went with Magnus to his young horses. It is unimaginable in Germany how much land is available for horses here. Personally, I have to keep realizing that bringing a horse to Germany is really not the right thing to do. I just have to leave my horses here. I can always visit them. Maybe 5 to 10 times a year. Or maybe even live here.... After that, we went with Magnus and the mares to the small waterfall. Squeezed into his car - among the obligatory chocolate bars, children's toys, tools, and other undefinable things - it was quite fun to drive from pothole to pothole. After a quick lunch, we all went riding together. Typical Icelandic ride.. 100 meters walk and then everything else is tölt - about 5 kilometers with very short breaks - then visited the farm where this absolutely crazy stallion stands - spent half an hour there and then returned home at the same pace - simply crazy. The farm itself is known here as the black farm and belongs to one of the most famous Icelandic trainers. It has a stable with boxes for 64 horses, a 60-meter indoor arena, and everything you could wish for. Back at home, we trained a few horses in the arena and now let's see what the evening brings. Probably going to the hot pot to relax the muscles.
