Anna's Stables

Yesterday I accompanied Anna to her workplace. As Anna is a very good horse person and she has internationally worked with many good Icelandic horse trainers it was not hard for her to get a job with Atli Guðmundsson. Atli has a beautiful stable at Hafnarfjörður and is working with 10 horses at the moment. As he is abroad every weekend, training Icelandic horses all around the world and giving courses Anna is taking care and training the horses here.
Atli has already won the Landsmóti (the most important even for Icelandic horses) a few times and his stables are full of trophies and prices - quite impressive to see!
It was also interesting to help Anna work with the young horses as the method of riding and training the Icelandic horse so differs from what I know from the mainland. Atli has a beautiful bunch of well-bred examples standing in his stables! WOW!
