My old folks want to break free from #facebook, and i'm helping them get started on the #fediverse. Yay!
Till now I've made them accounts on #mobilizon for groups and events, #loops for short-form video, and #peertube for long-form video.
Now they're getting a #mastodon account to tie it all together, and make conversation.

Question is; on which mastodon instance should they sign up, and who should they follow?
Their main interests are icelandic horses, sheep, sheep dogs / herding dogs and general small-scale animal husbandry. They live in arctic Norway, and their english language is decent.

I've found no starterpacks of accounts about farming, rural life, sheep husbandry, horse riding or dog training. (https://fedidevs.com/starter-packs/)

Could y'all help them get a great start to federated living by giving some recommendations?

I'm not naming names but it begins with I and ends in ACS and stands for I Am Completely Stupid.

I would cuddle these horses to promote my amazing Valentine day plan (💔), but well, I am scared of horses… 🤫

But they are really cute 😊

Yesterday, 20 km of #Trailrunning across the #Schöpfl “glacier,” 893 m, with 1,200 m EG. The tour would not have been possible without spikes shoes like our #Icebug. In glorious -5°C weather, we ran once along the entire ridge from east to west, and crossed it once from north to south. We encountered #IcelandicHorses which are actually quite hardy, but they didn't find the strong wind very pleasant.

Opened up new grazing for the older horses and ponies. They are very happy.
