<\/a>Anna and Arnar went first.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n
<\/a>Anna got to control her own horse (having been riding for most of the summer), while Arnar got a hand with his. They walked a good while.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Walking off into the distance. \u00a0They walked past the house, and down the hill quite a ways before returning.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>The rest of us got to cuddle with the other animals while the kiddos were gone.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>The David Bowie of dogs.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>15 minutes after departure, the kids returned.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Bjarki excited to go next.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Adjusting the foot straps.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Hildur up on her horse.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Colorful barn.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>The second group returning. \u00a0That distinctive toppy mountain is called Str\u00fatur (I think).<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Bjarki happy on his horse, along with the Swedish farm-hand.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Dogs lounging.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Combing the horses after a nice ride.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Our cars could have done with some loving attention as well. They were quite muddy after driving on non-paved roads.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Emma joining in the fun.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Hildur and Anna by a few lambs in a pen. The farm apparently has something like 400 sheep.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Driving back to H\u00fasafell.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>We ate a late lunch at the restaurant, which had this lovely sign up. So very true. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

On our last full day at H\u00fasafell, we took the kids ‘over the hill’ to a horse rental at Giljar.<\/p>\n
