Nói

If only all Mondays started with a two-hour ride through fields and villages under a clear blue sky. We rode between fields of ripening oats, corn, beets and barley.
The ride took us through the village where I was born and it was fun to point out my old house, the duck pond where I used to ice skate in the winter and the village school to my friend Mia.

Another great experience at Näsets Islandshästar.

Just look at that horizon.

Mia and Funi

Dirty, happy and with lovely helmet hair after two great hours on a horse called Nói.

Four birthdays and a horse

I'm hurting all over today. I spent Saturday morning on horseback with Mia and Johannes, followed by a game of laserdome (aka laser tag) and dinner. It was mine and Mia's birthday present to Johannes. A fun day, but a lot of hard work.
And then it was off to celebrate my mother's birthday and walk the dog. Because three hours of physical activity just wasn't enough for me...

With Feill

Johannes and Mia

You'd think I'd spend my Sunday relaxing at home, resting all those sore muscles I'd forgotten I had. But oh no, I had lunch with a friend and celebrated twins Alex and Philip's sixth birthday. No wonder I'm feeling drained today.

While everyone else was fighting over rags and flatscreen-tvs at the holiday sales I spent the morning with an icelandic horse called Feill.

We braved the bone chilling winter winds of south Scania for two hours, along with six other riders.

It's the best thing I did all Christmas.
