- He certainly did.

Is that why you sold Estvad

and moved to Hagenshj?

- Because Vagn couldn't run it?

- I ran Estvad, Ingrid.

But yes, without him it was too big.

And the rest of you have

enough on your plates.

We really appreciate how you busy

lads find the time to drive for us.

- Why not use professional drivers?

- Leave it, darling.

I'll tell you, Ingrid: a professional

makes his living by winning.

It is his job to win at any price.

He can always find a new horse.

Our horses are our family

and we treat family properly.

Don't you work at a pharmacy, Ingrid?

- Yes, I do, I

- So you know a bit of Latin.

- Oh, I'm not

- "Amateur" is from "amare".

The Latin for "to love". And in

this family we love what we do.

I'll be in the stables.

- I asked the wrong question.

- You'll learn, don't worry.

Karl can be brusque

but he means well.

Want a bet?

No, but he is kind to children.

They don't get a penny.

Or even a word of praise.

No, everyone works for the family!

Ingelise, living so close

must be awful.

The worst thing is all the coffee

machines and blenders we win.

And all those toasters!

I thought Aksel was the only one

who kept bringing them home.

- Their only payment.

- Which they can't even use.

Another prize would be fantastic.

And I don't mean money.

- Such as?

- A domestic science course.

To teach them how

to use their prizes.

She's in foal. Call the vet. Tell the

boys they're needed at once.

- Tina? So soon?

- Something's not right.

I'll phone.

Come out of there, damn it!

If we don't get it out now,

they'll both die.

Thomsen will do it.

- Is it dead?

- No. They always look like that.

Shall I give you a hand?

Are Tina's foals scared of you?

The way they don't want to come out?

Scared of you, more like.

- What's his name, granddad?

- What did we agree on?

- Tarok.

- You don't get finer than that.

- Now for a fry up.

- More food already?

It's a tradition.

And two schnapps because it's a boy.

- Karl, this is the 20th century.

- There's most money in stallions.

Mare's lib hasn't happened yet.

Now you are going to see the world.

It is more than a warm stable.

- You think he understands?

- Of course. Better than most humans.

Thanks a lot!

Apart from you, only horses

understand common sense talk.

Courage and action creates miracles.

Remember that on the track,

little fellow.

All your talk will drive him crazy.

I see why the Vikings wanted

to be buried here So do I.

- That's not up to you.

- If the Vikings can, so can I.

I don't think we just "disappear".

No...

Vagn will always be with us.

Skive Harness Track

Come along...

- He's got temperament.

- That is good.
