This is Torgrim, who's name I had formerly spelled wrong :p He is a Norwegian Fjord horse. They have a blonde colored mane with a black stripe in it, that continues all the way down their back. They usuall have their manes cut like this to show it off =D Hi! I have not had as much internet access as usually, so I am sorry for not having posted sooner :D I have moved in with my new host family, the Bjørkes. Per, Hjørdis, and my host sister, Hild Mari. She is my age and we go to the same school. It has been very nice so far- they have a very big family so I have been meeting quite a few people lately! I am not living to far from where I origonally was, ut now I am REALLY out in the country! It is a place in Løten called Ådalsbruk.
It is nice because Hild Mari (Hilde) rides as well. She has a horse Named Spriten that she is moving to the stable i have been riding at, so we can go together after school and ride. I am really excited because this Tuesday is a Trotting horse race, and the horse I have been riding and conditioning, Idiella, is going to be in it! Mortin and Nina are picking me up after school so I can come and watch =) I think she will do very well- she has gotten into great shape and is now scared of everything, which according to Mortin means "She is in the right condition to race!" haha. Also, the neighboring barn has actually moved Arc, the horse I was riding for them, so Mortin and Nina's barn! this is great, because now I can ride her whenever I want with Hilde.
Today our family is going Ice skating, which should be fun! I am not very good at it, but I am better than the first time I tried it, that is for sure! School has been going well too. We get our grades tommorow, and i am quite curious to see how I did, especially in spanish :p We haven't had final exams or anything, because our classes don't switch at the half year like they do in America. but no EOCs? thats allright with me!!! Well, I had better go and get ready to go skate!
