Bye bye perfect academic saddle!

Farewell perfect Academic saddle!
I had just found "the one". And just about the same day I was going to pay for it, the owner suddenly didn't want to sell it. Like WTF? What an Idiot! Why in the world, would you put your saddle for sale at a well known saddler and then at the last minute chose to say that the saddle isn't for sale anyways? I don't get it and I must honestly say I am very disappointed. I'll never find a better saddle. Sigh...

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!

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!
