A winter-tale:
Hi Lydur (male name, means everybody).
It seems that the last Dagur
(male, day) we here in Skagafjordur and more parts of Iceland arehaunted
with horses visiting. We certainly feel that Thorri (m, old name
for a wintermonth) is coming.
Yesterday,
Frjádagur (m, friday), this all began rather innocently. Then
in the evening around 6 a sudden Stormur (m, storm) began blowing up and
lots of Fonn (female name, means snow) came with it. On the way from
the evening milking there was so much Slydda
(female, sleet) that there was
Hela (fm, rime, frost) on our clothes and bare skin when we came
in.
Today, when
I got bored of sitting at my Tolva (fm. computer), afraid of loosing the
eletricity, I went along with my father-in law feeding the outside-horses.
To get the tractor out we had to open a big barn-door, and the Kraftur
(m, power) of a Hvellur (m, sudden strong storm) almost took it away from
the Threnna (fm, three) of us holding the door. He put a 800 pound Baggi
(m, bale) on the Traktor (m, tractor) and plowed through the Snær
(m, snow). The Sorti (m, darkness) because of Mökkur (m, drifting
snow powdering in the air) was so much that we were almost in Villa (fm,
the state of being lost). The horses had Klaki (m,
isecube) all over their tail
and were all a Snæfaxi (m, with snowwhite mane) but since they
had enough to eat they seemed
to have surpricing Orka (fm, energy). It is a Kostur (m, good
quality) now to have a Lubbi
(m, shaggy hair). They came trotting with Harka (fm, harshness, boldness)
against the Bylur (m. storm) to get to the hay, showing Anaegja (fm, happiness)
and Gaski (m, playful) over the feed. I had felt sorry for them that
the Kalsi (m, cold weather) was too Svalur (m, kold) for them, but they
manage. But this is also a Vaskur (m, active, hardy) breed.
The Fegurd
(fm, beauty) in this is strange. An Ái (m, relative) of ours
also has cows, but the eletricity is down at their place. They tried
to load a Rafhlaða (fm, battery) or Motor (m, motor) to get the milking-machines
going, but that didn't work. They finished the morning-milking
with their hands around 5 in the afternoon.
All Heiði
(highlands) are closed, the roads are covered with snow or too much Vindur
(m, vind). Now the weather has stilled for a while down to a Gola
(fm, breeze) and Næðingur (m, cold wind) but that is not supposed
to last, tonight it will be Rosi (m, bad and harsh weather). The
Frostrós (fm, frost rose) on the window in the dog-shed will probably
grow this Nott (fm, night).

funny if the horse has a white crown.
Skálmar = one that takes
long strides, so his "trousers" flap. So two legs at least, side

so the white in the horse's legs does not have to connect.
Flipi, Múli, Nebbi, Snoppi

be bright red or white or something light. Kinnskær is in the
very old icelandic saga, Thorskfirðingasaga, and is rather well known,
but not much used, as the colour is not common.
Kjálki, Kjammi = jaw,
and refers to a jaw with a noticeable spot.
Ljóri = is a very old

spot on his back can proudly be named Ljóri.

forelock.

is all dark with a white lock in his mane, or all white with a dark grey
mane.
Hnakkur = Saddle.
Fjalla-Skjóni = I knew
a horse with that name, his owner used him for long trails, many weeks
into the highland. It means mountain-pinto.
Gráfeldur = Grey skin/hair.
God for a grey-pinto, as grey horses usually become white with age, but
grey-pinto horses stay grey-pinto. Also Grábakur = grey-back.
Falhófnir = This is a
beutiful name, and was a horse that one of the ancient nordic gods owned,
and means one with pale hooves. But this name has a mythic clang
in it and is in very old books.

know two red-pinto Indíáni. Also Indíánaskjóni

Gyrðir = Protector (very
old name), but also refers to girth, that is to say it suits for a horse
with colour/white markings in the saddle and girth area.
Laski = is also an old
horsename, but can seldom be used, as it means wedge, and the horse has
to have some wedge-formed spots, and rather small ones.
Hjálmur = Helmet, which
can be a spot around the horse's ears, his whole head could also be in
a different coulour from most of the body, or there can be a white "helmet"
(oval spot) in the horse's eye.
Rauðhöfði = with
red head, old name from folklore and adventures.
Svarthöfði = with black
head, also used when needing a name for the bad black chief in Star Wars
(with the iron helmet).
