The horse's tongue (strong pictures)

Can you remember my previous post regarding the horse tongue?
There are now two sides of the story. According to several veterinarians are the wounds too old, so it couldn't be from the time the trainer had the horse. Now there are rumors about that it's the owners fault. It's so terrible!
Who it may be shouldn't be in possession of animals never again!!!

What just happened?

Hmm, what just happened. Yesterday, there was no snow at all?

Today when I woke up I was greeted by this sight. An entire snow-covered world. It was really cold yesterday but there was no sign of snow. I think in general whole DK was pretty surprised.

The funny thing is that when there is finally snow, I turne into a small kid. I love snow but I hate the cold weather!

I had a really fun day at the Flower Farm today. I rode a long trip with Karla. She has an Icelandic mare on 22 years. It took an hour before we could get out and ride because her horse Müsla just stopped 5 times on the way up to the grooming area. I've never seen such a stubborn pony before. However, we had more in store. When we finally came out on the trail, she would just not go. Karla tried to jump off and pull, it didn't work, she jumped up again and tried to kick her, it didn't work, I tried to ride Giga into her quarters, it didn't work, we tried everything nothing worked. But suddenly Müsla just walked a few steps and so it went on the whole way to the woods. The funniest of all was that when we were in the woods she just wanted to run forward, as in trot and canter. What a funny horse :-D
A different matter is that I think Müsla has an incredibly bad forward signal, Victor is nothing compared to what I saw today. I'm thinking of asking Karla if she needs some help.
I'd like to help her because even though it was pretty funny today, but I would guess that this habit is not fun every day.


We rode in 3 hours. Only walk and a little trot. It's fun to see how crazy people are with Giga. Everyone wants to say hello to my great "workhorse". Sometimes it's pretty fun with all the attention :-)

Coldness go away!

It's just too cold right now and unfortunately it will only get worse. The soil is rock hard, and the horses are extremely stiff in their legs and sore in their hooves. The field is pretty damaged because before it was freezing, there was plenty of mud and that has made the field very uneven with sharp edges.

I rode Giga a little bit today but she was pretty sore and I froze like hell. So it was not the most serious traning section. We took some small jumps but nothing particularly impressive, because I'm after all riding in my western saddle at the moment.

Please look long and hard

Please look long and hard at these pictures. Educate anybody that you can about people who call themselves trainers. Anybody can hang a sign on there fence and call themselves a trainer, they can even lie and say that they have are a carded judge when they are not, they can say that they are a licensed theraputic instructor when they are not. They can say that they are Reining and Cutting instructors when they are not. Sharon is none of these but what she is is the most abusive and cruel people that I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. Unfortunately she doesn't keep her rage just to animals, she spreads it all around.

(‎"This is what Sharon Jeffco did to my horse Misty. Sharon did this in a fit of rage, tied her head down and then beat her with a lunge whip. There are a total of 5 places that were split open on her tongue.")

This is from an unknown source, however, it shared many times on Facebook.

How can you treat your animals like that. I am disgusted!

 

Chill day

Today Learke asked if we should train our horses together. Like make a fun "obstacle course" for the horses. And of course I wanted to do that, it sounded pretty fun. And it suited me fine too, Giga needed a small challenge, I think she is bored at the moment. We were playing us through the whole obstacle course, she just lit up like a little colt. It was nice to see her like that. It went really well. Learke think my Cordeo was pretty nice made. And she even asked if we should make a fun day where we would make some horse equipment, like Sidepull's, Halters, Cordeos etc. It's just a dream to be at the Flower Farm. Yes, I say it often. But it's just an amazing place filled with amazing people and animals! Giga has become a different horse. She rests much more in herself. I think it's good she's in a pen with only mares.

Video of Lady Giga

Here's a small video from last summer. We trained a lot of groundwork :-)

Fairytale tail!

Today I took some pictures. I'm pretty happy with how Giga's tail looks at the moment. You can easily see that I have much time for her. She almost looks like a nice show horse :-D

Today I rode her in the indoor arena. I came very late out to her. It was almost dark when I arrived.
I think I have trained to much on her stop signal or then she's just very tired at the moment. She was just so calm and manageable. Actually she was a little too calm. But I shouldn't complain, when she finally behaves well. Another successful day. What a lovely horse.
