Back home in Dalvik.

The Hringur Club and stable is in a kind of no-man's land between the scenic shores of Eyja Fjord and the green valley of Svafaðardalur.  Let's orient ourselves and get a feel for the place...  Remember, we're less than 100 miles from the Arctic Circle...

Hringur, Dalvik's horse club, is in what had been fox or mink farm.  (I'm not sure which, so please let me know through a comment) It is now the largest stable building in Iceland.  You will notice that there are not that many horses here now.  It is summer and they are, for the most part, turned out in pastures in the countryside until Fall. 

Horsemanship runs in this family.  I don't know how far back (I assume all the way). Stebbi passed his love and accomplishments with horses down to the next generation and beyond with their own family website.  I am very happy that they are able to link to my videos!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, there is a future.  Hilmar took me to visit  a Dagur baby of his.

So, life goes on.  What do you do after you came in second at the Islandsmot?  If you are Stebbi, you go back to work.

Stan,

Another great series. I love the old man. And nice to know all those 'hotshots' have normal jobs as well!

Isabell : Andrea
Hi Stan.... fabulous videos! Thank you so much. Interesting...Begga who was here training my horses has ridden Dagur and says that he is a very very highly temperamental horse with a fine character and that he is actually even better than what he showed at Landsmot.
As for the colour Isabell> the name comes from the Spanish queen Isabella who used to wear her white garments for a long time without washing them...until they eventually turned a dirty yellow. This is about the colour fo the palomino. Therefore in German and some other languages we call this color "isabell". A cremello or double cream would be Weiss=Isabell *white-isabell)
Forgot to call you with all the hard work here. Will do so some time this week.
