I have a amazing horse

I have a amazing horse :-D
I had a slightly off day at work but Giga can always turn my sad days into something good. She was very calm and sweet today. I sat up on her and rode her in the halter up to the yard, it has become one of our small rituals. I think it's really nice and Giga learns to stand very still, for I have a really hard time jumping up on her without a saddle.

We rode peacefully up to the neighbor's farm and back again. The weather was excellent and we enjoyed the warm sun. It's been a really fantastic day!

Playful horses

 Spring Playful horses that are just about to run me down :-D Sorry, the sound is not so optimal ...

Angel horse

Yesterday Giga was a really bandit, today she was the sweetest angel. There is not one similar day with that crazy horse. I did a little "western trail" obstacle course. Giga was SO sweet and wellbehaved, you wouldn't believe it was the same horse after her hot-tempered behavior yesterday. She did all the obstacles amazingly, you'd think she did nothing else then this all day long. Honestly I think she thought it was really fun. Her ears was forward throughout the whole hour we rode :-D

That horse (and my two boys) can just make my days so much better!

Impossible horse

Hmm, Giga was quite impossible today. She was really strong and hard to stop. It's strange that her "mood" changes so much from day to day. The idea was that I would film me riding her today. But I had to give up because I couldn't ride her decently. I got her to relax but it was no' pretty sight, it took a long time and when she finally relaxed she was sweating like a fat pig. People must think ride her very hard. Her fiery temperament makes her "stress up" sometimes and thereby she's sweating a lot more than usual.

At least it ended well. In the end she was calm and relaxed. Plus she layed down for the first time in front of me. So some progress has been made here and there. Too bad there are so many outcomes in the middle of everything good.

Zonkey & Zorse!

Have you ever heard of these species? I've heard of Zorse, but not the other one. I know a Zorse have a horse as it's mother and a Zebra as it's father. The second may well be a donkey as the father and the horse is the mother. But I'm not sure. But no matter what they are still really cute!
It's a pity that they are often very aggressive. Zebra's has a very strong instinct and that makes them often very difficult to train. The Zebra is the animal that harms most zookeepers at year. Who would have thought that?

Cute picture

I couldn't help smiling when I saw this picture :-)

It's pretty cute!

Baroque paintings

I am so fascinated by the baroque style. I love the paintings of the horses. The paintings reflect how the horses were trained. It's so impressive, at that time you could talk about Horsemanship and a right understanding for horses. At that time the horse was your dearest possession and therefore they were treated with care.
