0:00:02 > 0:00:05A thousand years ago, in the wild lands of the North,

0:00:05 > 0:00:07lived a special little girl.

0:00:09 > 0:00:13The trees and animals of the forest were her friends and playmates.

0:00:14 > 0:00:18Now travel back in time to join her games.

0:00:19 > 0:00:24Come and explore the wild with Gudrun, the Viking Princess.

0:00:38 > 0:00:44A Viking summer is one of endless days, a perfect time to be outside.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53And while the Earth is warm,

0:00:53 > 0:00:57what better than to sit under an old beech tree and play.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Let your imagination fly, Gudrun,

0:01:01 > 0:01:05off to the places you have only ever heard of in Viking tales.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Off to the seas, where mighty creatures

0:01:11 > 0:01:14swim beneath towering cliff tops.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22While you daydream, something else is moving through the trees.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28A fjord pony set free to graze in the forest for the summer,

0:01:28 > 0:01:31will have the wild in his heart.

0:01:40 > 0:01:41He's startled to see you, Gudrun.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47And the harder you try to calm him, the more fretful he is getting.

0:01:54 > 0:01:55He's gone.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20There's still so much to learn about the creatures of the forest.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27So climb to the higher ground and see what you can see.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31But don't forget to look ahead.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45He doesn't know if he can trust you.

0:02:47 > 0:02:48Should you reach out?

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Should you run?

0:02:51 > 0:02:53If only there was someone you could ask.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Wait, it's Solvay, the tamer of horses.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02She will know.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10Watch her, look how steadily she goes.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15See how the pony understands, he follows her round.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Now, be like a shadow, Gudrun, and learn.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48See how the pony comes when she beckons.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Now you try.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07The pony turns as you turn.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13But how much does he trust you?

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Will he come?

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Well done, Gudrun.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45You've done it.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48If you can gain the trust of a fjord pony,

0:04:48 > 0:04:51you are a true Princess of the Vikings.
