This is Adam from Haldane born 30.04.2023 and his progression to grey! Born Chestnut with a tiny star he’s slowly going grey like his mum Fenja. He looks a bit like a strawberry roan at the moment. I love the orange tips on his mane and the big white splodges he’s getting on his body. Wonder what age he’ll be when he’s fully white? **t

Wonder what they’re talking about? Maybe a bit of “trough gossip”? Cute group of 1 and 2 year old fillies.

This tree is extra popular today with 3 koalas happily sharing it! Took me awhile to realise there were three 😂 ( apparently there isn’t a collective noun for koalas - maybe because you don’t usually see them being very social?)

Managed to split the pregnant mares from the not preg mares at the gate today by myself. ( winning) 😀 Everyone moved to new paddocks and settled in for the wait for the next foals.

Visiting Sweden years ago I loved the idea of taking fika - which usually meant coffee and cake ... but obviously there is a broader meaning to that!

As I start the New Year with gratitude for the ones that have passed and in anticipation of the one to come I am leaving time to be able to stop and enjoy the wonderful things in life.

It does help that I live with a herd of very mindful Icelandic Horses.
They have perfected the art of living in the now and like to nudge me into slowing down and enjoying their company.

Fluffy!!! Nala, Sykra and Lufur from Haldane. Some of last seasons foals.

We all start out as beginners ...even the experts! But the basics are the same for all of us.
One of my new years resolutions is to come at things with a beginners mind again.
To be curious about the whys and feel the joy when learning.

First day of 2025 we welcomed our first Icelandic foal of the season. A gorgeous filly from Dala from Haldane & Kulur fra Haholti. Almost identical to her full sister Fjöður, just with a little dot on her forehead to tell them apart! Welcome baby and what an amazing start to 2025. ❤️🇮🇸🦄

Last day of 2024! Spending it jump starting tractors, feeding out hay, checking in with the horses and filling troughs. Some pregnant bellies due in the new year. Mummy and baby koala ❤️. And we will be asking nicely for plenty of rain to fill our almost dry dam. Amazing weather today and very much looking forward to seeing what fun adventures await in 2025! Happiest of New Years to you all.

GOODBYE 2024 and HELLO 2025
I don't know about you but I felt like 2024 whizzed past in a bit of a crazy blur.

Looking back we packed a fair bit in!
We welcomed new babies into the herd, made new fences, fixed old fences, had lots of visitors and made many new friends. Plus a bunch of other stuff!

So to all you beautiful people out there I hope you have a wonderful New Year.
May 2025 bring you much happiness, success and treasured memories.
Amy and the Herd

I'm a bit late getting our regular Crazy Christmas with horses photos up this year.
We had such a nice day hanging out with family, a paddle at the beach and plenty of delicious food.
Hope that you all had an amazing day too.
Amy, Shane and the herd 🌸

Nala and Ljufur have lost their baby coats and we getting to see the little bodies beneath all that fluff. Love that Icelandic horses come in so many awesome colours too! **t
