Riding Horse(s)

Baga got some free days (nearly two weeks)  because she had problems with her legs, skin and mouth. After some free days I was so impatient that I took her with snúrumúll (Knotenhalfter) and split leather reins and went riding into the riding arena. I was too unbrave to check if it works outside ;o)
But it worked very fine at the riding arena. I could ride all gaits, also lope. Further it was possible to ride slalom and more funny things. It was so great that I tried it few days later again and it was fine again.
Yesterday I decided that Baga had enough holidays and put the saddle and bridle on again. But it seemed as if the free days were not good for her mind because she started to run in fast gallop and was bucking like hell! "Baga my darling, you understood something wrong:  I want a western horse - NOT A RODEO-HORSE!!!"So I stopped her and let her trot hundreds of circles until she was wet and then I could ride her in normal lope again . Fine to be the winner but now I am always thinking if I want to ride lope. "Will she be fine or not?"
I decided today to ride outside and let her trot a lot to get away her energy. I also tried a little bit lope and it worked fine but I am still distrustful. Maybe she also has so much power because of the coming autumn. She is most time high tempered in the autumn and winter.
As I arrived back home SSSól was still waiting. And like always she was running circles around us as we were back in the paddock. Sometimes I have to tie her to the door because she is going on our nerves :o) If I want to clean the hooves of Baga she is everywhere. And If I say "SSSól, farðu!!!" she goes and comes back immediately if I have a hoof of Baga in my hands. And have you ever tried to clean a horse hoof with a horse nose in your face??? Today it was one of these days and SSSól always followed me "Do something with me, do something with me!" I tried to ignore her but she can be soooooooooooooo penetrant . As I took the bridle of Baga to wash it with water she came and always hold her head in the bridle and tried to catch the bit. So I took the bridle, hold it in the right direction and she took the bit immediately. This horse is not normal, I can tell you . Isn't she looking like a grown icelandic riding horse?
