Follow up

Follow up on the course. It was okay but a little too spiritual for my taste. It was about finding your inner mental problems by linking your mind "power" with a horse. This horse would then be able to feel your problems. We should try to breathe through the horse without getting close to it. I felt that people over analyzed what the horses did in the field. It was a little too much about: "Uh, the horse came up to me and smelled just THAT hand I have some problems with", etc. It's very difficult to be a "horse expert" and believe in the scientific aspect and then you suddenly empathize with the horse and feel you are one with it and that everything the horse does have a higher meaning. It was a little too much "Flower Power" for me, although I can see aura and believe in different things after death, but this was too much. We sat in the middle of a field and meditated. It was okay, but nothing I would go and use more time on. Respect for those who gets something out of it. And I love the two people who presented it, so no bad feelings :-)

Go in the horse's footsteps - June 2012

Tomorrow I'm going to a course / lecture with Equine Mind Movers. It's really exciting and I look forward to it. I'm getting some lovely company of my friend Laura. She has unfortunately just lost her wonderful horse. It died very suddenly from colic. So I am very glad that she still wants to go to the course with me! It's nice to have some company when the drive is quite long. An hour and fifteen minutes.

Biomechanics and learning

Here is a very educational video. You should give yourself time to see it. Dr. Andrew McLean is extremely talented!

I am absolutely in love with this picture. 

As Beautiful as it gets!

Pictures of my new saddle

Here are some pictures of my new saddle. Or I'm going to pay for it tomorrow.

Today I went for a small walk with Giga. I was at my chiropractor today so my back and lower back was pretty sore! Tomorrow I'm going out for a ride in my new paid saddle. Anina is going to join me,- maybe!

Good News!

I have some really good news. Victor is moving to Denmark soon! He is moving once in August. I feel a little weird that he no longer shall be in Sweden at my parents' farm. I must admit I will miss the Swedish nature and wildlife! And now I've had my horse there for 5 years. So it's a bit strange and sad in a way? But the best thing for Victor is that he's coming to DK and get's trained etc. Everything else is a shame. So now the decision is made and everybody at the Flower Farm can't wait to meet him!

I also think that Giga is going to be happy to see him again. I'm looking forward to see their reakion!

I'm so sorry for my inactivity

Hello Blog Readers.


I'm so sorry for my inactivity. But I just moved to a new apartment and the internet hadn't worked all week. There has happened a bit since I last wrote on my blog. Giga's "rider" (Milla), jumped a little on her. They came up on 65 cm. Not bad (pictures are shown below).
Additionally I had a saddler out to Giga and I've found the perfect academic saddle. It sits perfectly on Giga and I sit like a king in it! Pictures may come tomorrow!

In addition, I rode a long trip in the woods on Giga in my future saddle. I've never felt her gait so much. She is free and light, It doesn't feel like if shes carrying me. We got lost in the woods, so we ended up riding in 2.5 hours. Poor Giga. But it's long time since we both have enjoyed a ride so much as we did yesterday. It was hot but it rained a little. It was great with a little rain in the warm weather.

I will try to keep my blog updated. Hugs Sara Maria
