How many horses?

How many horses do you own or ride?
Where do you keep them? At home? Rent a stable? Big/small stable?
Do you only ride on icelandic horses?

I live in Sweden
I have a 5 year old mare (sire: Mökkur frá Varmalaek). She stays in a small stable (or manily outside) about 15 km from my home.
Other than my own horse I train other peoples horses.
Usually I ride 1-3 horses a day.
I have a background as a showjumping rider and swiched to iceys 1993 when i hired my first icey Eldir for the summer. Since 1997 I´m an "all icelandic" rider. But I still enjoy rideing other breeds aswell when I get the opertunety.

Re: How many horses?

Hi!
I live in western Norway. I too was a showjumper, but really I was a western rider from my background. I got into icelandics from a friend of mine who was raised with them (daughter to Lillemor Bødtker, who had Lillemor Stallen in Oslo area, Søkendal). Lillemor is in SWeden now, near Arvika, and I train for her. She has Ringo fra Ringerike...
Are you living anywhere near there? she is into the Branderup training...have you heard of that?
Helsing,
Stephanie
