The wind has started to get up now and, while everything is drying up beautifully, it means there is less water around for the horses to drink.

So I drove the Jimny with large containers of water for the Icelandic horses over the scattald (open grazing).  It is much easier to move water this way rather than me carrying it over and the four-wheel-drive proved invaluable.

(I also secretly love off-roading too.)

The horses came over to see why I had arrived and what I was doing.

Luckily I had also brought three carrots with me.

Phew! I would not’ve been popular to have come empty handied.

Afterwards, OH mentioned the wind is going to get up now for the foreseeable so it might be better to have the horses nearer the house. It was a good idea and we brought all three home!  The water can stay in its containers.  It will be used some day, I tell myself.  Nothing is ever wasted.
