I was in my shed this morning, when I looked outside only to find everyone happily resting.

The spot they had chosen utilised the shelter of the dry stone walls and the surrounding sheds. There has been a coarse South East wind blowing all day.

It’s been enough wind to be annoying, if you have a beautiful mane like Haakon.

Anyway, Iacs was in charge of fending off the potential tigers (good luck with that).

And the others were flat out snoozing.

I wonder what Kolka was dreaming of.


This was the view from the upstairs bathroom window. They all stayed there for quite a while, asleep out of the wind.

After lunch, when I went outside to go to my shed, I made a slight detour to see if Fivla and Vitamin had turned up and wanted to come out around the house too. They hadn’t been around earlier.

They had come down and wanted out.

I opened the gate so they could come through and enjoy the lush green grass with the others.

Saturday afternoon is flute-duet- afternoon so Mandy and I played our flutes and quickly realised that our only audience was Vitamin who sensibly and understandably didn’t stay long.

Every time I see the Icelandic horses, I think of the Przewalski horses. I am sure to those of you who know horses, they look nothing alike, but the Polish wild horse pictures were in a childhood book of mine & I’ve thought their coloring is so beautiful; the Icelandic horses are truly beautiful.. Fivla & Vitamin look like adorable buddies.
Actually, I do agree. My lot are especially like the cave painting ones.
I always think Przewalski too :-}
Really lovely to see them so relaxed that they know they can snooze safety in your ‘garden’.
