I finished making my afternoon sheep so I thought I would pop over to Clothie to check on the Ancient Icelandic horses.
Haakon had taken himself away. He didn’t want to talk to the riff-raff (his words and he meant Kolka and Iacs, not me, obviously!)
So I gave them all a turmeric treat and took some photos, as I was standing downhill which can makes for a nice backdrop/angle.
Kolka wanted Iacs’ treats so she came over to block him.
Iacs was having none of it. Those treats were rightfully his and he told her.
But Kolka never gives up without a fight……
I told them both to stop!
I explained I wanted to take a nice photo of nice Icelandic horses.
I did try, honestly. *** sigh, oh Iacs ***. He has to let the side down with a gormless face (I blame his owner).
And then they went back to bickering.
I walked away and Kolka decided to follow me too by walking down the wall, like any normal horse wouldn’t do. I love the way her big bum is in Iacs’ way! He looks less than impressed.
They are all beginning to grow their hairy winter coats now and I am feeding for winter weather, despite it still being warm. The more coverage they have internally and externally, the better they will get through the next six months. Hairy and “well-covered” is good with this lot.
