Anna and Sproti (and a wee bit of ‘art’)
[Written on 14 August 2012]
Back in June, Anna asked if she could go on a horse-riding course. These things run in June and July, and are generally fully booked long in advance. Lucky for us though, there were openings in July, so on 9 July Anna began her week-long course. Right off the bat she looooooved it, so we quickly booked the next week too. The course ran from 9am to noon, Mon through Fri, and was run by Viking Horses, which happen to be located about 7 minutes away from us by car.
On the last day, 20 July, Finnur went to pick her up, and arrived early enough to see her arrive on ‘her’ horse, Sproti (she had the same horse the whole time except for the first day). Here are some pics:
Arriving at a slow pace. The stables are by the edge of Kópavogur – you can see houses under construction in the background.
She was fully capable of stopping Sproti…
… and dismounting without help.
Sproti and Anna.

Here horse-y, horse-y. 🙂
Sproti all tied up and ready to start munching.
Random horse shaking the hair from his eyes. It fell right back down again though. 🙂
Once we got home, it dawned on Anna that this was the last time she’d (probably) see Sproti, and she broke down in sobbing tears. She was literally devastated for the remainder of the day, poor thing. 🙁
Later that afternoon Bjarki caught me in my usual position, on the couch, with a laptop (in this case, a Chromebook).
I caught Bjarki by the window. Look at all that greenery!
That evening Adda and Halli and kids came over for dinner. See that green thing hanging up on the wall? Yes, it’s ‘art’ by me! Taken when we were up north. And yes, the leftmost image needs to move a teeny bit more left. We’ll try and get it done before Christmas. 🙂
The greenery on the wall. The numbers below refer to the image numbers. I literally just swiped my camera from right to left, taking pictures along the way, and it so happened that these seemed to fit together quite nicely.
