Yesterday we went to Horse Centre at 12am. First we went to a cafe and we packed our stuff to in two cars. We drove to stable and put up canteen. After that I went to the hill with my camera and took pictures of horses. Earlier horses were driven down from the mountains to a field in the valley. Then they were driven inside a big fence in the Horse Centre. There were hundreds of horses.
Inside the fence the owners searched for their own horses. Every owner had little fence where they put their horses. They grabbed a horse under the jaw and led the horses to small fence.
The horses were given worm treatment inside the small fences. Some horses were taken home with small horse trailers. Those who lived farther a way took their horses home with big truck. Big horse groups were taken home by chasing them as a herd on the road.
Our farm had some young horses there.
Below are pictures from today:

Wau mitä polleja :) Siis mikä tässä on ajatuksena, oliko nämä hepat kesälaitumilla pitkin vuoria vai miten? Hyödynnetäänkö näitä heppoja millä lailla talviaikaan/kesäaikaan? Monenko omistajan heppoja tässä laumassa suunnilleen on? Nyt en ymmärrä ollenkaan :D
VastaaPoistaJoo on nää pirun nättejä! Joo hepat siis on muutamalla eri vuorella, jonne ne viedään kesäksi. Riippuu ihan omistajasta millä lailla hyödyntää. Mein hepat oli vaan kasvamassa siellä kun ovat vielä niin nuoria 2-3vuotiaita. Talven on yleensä jossain pellossa ja turistikausina sitten turistikäytössä niiden omistajien hepat jotka tarjoovat vaelluksia. Aika monen, muutaman kymmenen. Yhdellä tilallisella oli vuorilla 200hevosta, jotka sitten vei tuollein vapaana kotiin. Keskimäärin varmaan yhdellä tilallisella oli jotain 30-50hevosta.
PoistaJa talvella myös treenataan hevosia
