Home sweet home, after 3 long weeks on the road for a horse show in Iowa with sheep deliveries in both directions.

The view from my bedroom window right now: 28 year old Sara from Valley View quietly puttering around the yard on a misty autumn morning.

T5 test this afternoon on Fálki.

Today's clean V3 test with Fálki.

It sounds like it should be easy to just demonstrate slow tölt, trot, walk, canter, and fast tölt... and yet it's really quite difficult.

It's all about the hair.

Some well-known genetics and breeders of Icelandic animals in the United States.

Diane Graves of Ísafold is holding a Hergill 08-870 grandson bred by Alan Leighton of The Creek's Edge. David Grote of Whippoorwill Farm is holding a clutch of Hlésey-line fertile hatching eggs. Lucy Nold of Five-Gait Farm is holding Vindur from Dalalif and Red Cedar Tyri.

Our paths all crossed at Harmony Icelandics during a very soggy rainy Icelandic Horse Week in Paradise. We tried so hard to get everyone in the same time and place for a photo but schedules just couldn't be aligned.

Finally some paying passengers, unlike that damn freeloading pony. Fálki's lucky he's so handsome considering the price of gas these days.

Fálki is in the tank, and enjoying a quieter calmer life now as a gelding.

It's the end of an era... while still retaining options for the future!
