We have been taking the shoes off most of our riding horses, after a successful summer with many guests both in the highlands and here at home. The sheep round-up went on last week in the mountains and we also took our sheep together here on the meadows at the farm. Dogs and horses helping. Most of the horses are now grazing and resting in vast pastures, completely free.

Les grands rassemblements de troupeaux se sont déroulés tout le mois de Septembre. Nos moutons sont rentrés de la montagne depuis la semaine dernière et nous avons rassemblé ceux qui se trouvent ici sur les terres de la ferme. Avec la participation des chiens et chevaux. La plupart des chevaux de rando ont été déferrés et convoyés vers de vastes pâturages où ils vont rester, complètement libres, jusqu´à Noël.
First riding tourPremières randonnées
Last week was the first riding tour of the season. We went for a 5 days ride with 5 wonderful guests and 16 beautiful horses. Two of the horses were pack horses that carried our clothes and food.

The first foals are born
The summer is here! The 1th of May three beautiful foals were born. Then the fourth one was born the 15th of May. They are doing really well and are playing around in the fields.
Lambs are born
Our first guests came in April, it was wonderful welcoming them. We welcomed one couple that came to us for their honeymoon. We road with them along side the river and visited a cave where Stefnir plaid the harmonica for them.
We have been working with the young horses all winter but now they get a break and are outside grazing. We will meet them again in June and start again riding them then. They did so well this winter so we are really looking forward starting again riding them in June.
Now we are looking after our sheep that are having their lambs in May. Already 5 lambs are born and a lot more coming. 🙂
The young horses are being adorable. All of them have been outside with a rider on. They are behaving really well, like a dream. We are looking forward having them with us in the riding tours next summer. 
Young horses
The Hekluhestar family has 14 young horses inside for the moment that we are working with. They are doing a fantastic job and we are hoping that some of them will be ready to work with us next summer in the riding tours.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. Thank you for a wonderful year and w
e are looking forward for a new exciting year!
Winter time
Winter has arrived and there is snow all around. The sheep are inside and the horses have their winter hair on. It is cosy time at the Hekluhestar farm.
