Cool idea

Look at this picture. It's a pretty cool idea, huh? :-D

I want to try that on one of mine wonderful gypsies.

Picture time :-)

My friend Fleur visited me this weekend. She was so sweet to take some pictures of me and Giga in the woods. Unfortunately, Giga was pretty damn wild that day. But we still got some good pictures out of it.

Busy times

I haven't written on my blog for a long time.
I'm very busy with work and many other things. So there won't always be a post every day. But I will do my best.

Much has happened since the 1.5 weeks I last wrote. I've been in Sweden and said hi to my boys. They are doing really good. Despite they are not doing much. The youngster, Molle, keeps them going :-)

In addition, it goes well with Giga. It's going up and down regarding her temperament. BUT there is great progress, especially when I ride her alone without the "herd effect". So I've basically only positvie things to share.

Here's some pictures from my trip to Sweden. I hope I soon can afford to get them to Denmark.

Short update

I'll only write a short update today. I'm a little busy and are on way to bed.

Today I trained both Giga and a Icelandic horse. My friend owns the mare, she's going to Sweden in her Easter holiday. So i'm helping her a bit. She usually has some problems with her horse stops a lot. So we trained a little on her forward and stop signal. Both horses were really nice today. Tomorrow I'm going to train them both again.

DAMN Horse!

Sometimes I wish I had my own private fotograft because DAMN Giga was looking AMAZING today! What a trot she showed me. I can just say; she didn't look like a heavy draft horse, that's for sure. She was elegant and floating over the sand.
She was pretty wild and restless at the brushing area, so I chose not to ride her. I trained her from the ground without treats and I have never had such a positive training session. She reared at the smallest commands, jumped over jumps etc etc. Everything went great. That horse amazes me almost always positively.

Some pictures from the field:

That's a gypsies mind

I'm a gypsy at heart. I'm proud and brave. I'm calm and friendly. Big and strong. I'll do my best to take care of my owner, that's a Gypsy Vanner's mind.

April Fool

This morning I received this message from Gregg: Hello all horse girls. Remember to read the new signs in the woods concerning horses and horse cards. You have to clip each time you are over at the voucher machine at the big rock on the other side of the road. Cards can be purchased in stores or on the nature Agency website. Gregg.


I fell for it! I hurried up to the farm and asked a friend, "What's happening, why do we have to pay to ride in the woods, as if it isn't expensive enough to own a horse." My friend replies: "Sara, do you know what date it is today"? .... Oh god, it's that the first 1 april today. Well done! It's a long since I felt so stupi :-D



Today Giga was in a slightly silly mood. She was calm and did what I asked her, yet she bucked when we galloped. It wasn't wild at all, she just did it 3-4 times and that was it.

After her half-hearted rodeo show, we went for a walk with a friend in the woods. She was just so calm and sweet for a change.

Beautiful horse! I could hardly go from her today. She just stood there and looked at me.
