Here’s a video by Dave of Fiona and Smári playing Chase me Charlie (aka fast tölt round of the T1 Final). It may take a second or two to download from You Tube.

Training hard

Graeme — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 08:51:14 +0000

I was checking the neddies on my way through to work this morning and found them all training hard in the ancient art of ‘bugarawl’.

Bugarawl is a unique method of horse training devised by YI Man from Northern England. He has now, apparently, moved on to greater things but you can still visit his original site here (courtesy of the WayBackMachine).

Trot 101 aka Royaume-Uni Nul Points

Well, sure enough, Yours Truly and the Galloping Granny once again lived up to his previous performances (see Snuggur) and, together, they achieved the magnificent score of zero (yup - nada, صِفْر, zilch, אפס, buggerawl, शून्य, notalot) for trot at the Edda Hestar Easter Show 2010. Whilst this was not a great surprise to the discerning crowd it does give me a good baseline to improve from.

Kolvör says it’s not her fault – why trot when you can tölt?

Vinur meets the vet….

I have to report that the two year old Vinur has recently had a non-reversible operation in the nether regions from which he has made a rapid, and full recovery. Rocky Mountain Oyster anybody?

Gosh – the more I delve into it the worse it gets – now I’m not a squeamish chappie but a TestyFesty? http://www.testyfesty.com/

Well it would appear that Glymur frá Innri-Skeljabrekku is a very clever horse – like Helgi he has his very own blog and you can check it out here (or, for the English translation via Google, here):
