Wonderful day!

I've had a wonderful day with many positive experiences. I was already out on the farm at 11 this morning. And I was home at 5 o'clock.

I cleaned Victors wounds, he was not happy about it. They hurt very much. Then I took him down on the outdoor riding arena and let him walk around and check it all out. He called a lot after his friends but he was still incredibly contact seeking. After a while came a woman that might want to ride and look after him in the weekdays. She was completely lost in him and we got a really good talk about behavior and Victor as he is overall. She was completely sold. We rode him a little bit and he was just so calm and happy with the attention he got. So after 2 hours in his company she chose to be his rider in the weekdays. It's a huge relief for me, considering the time issue and financially. Victor was really happy for her, which he rarely is for new riders. I've had him for 8 years, so it's no wonder he is very attached to me.

Later I got a riding lesson on Giga. Which also went really well but it was hard to hold the concentration because of the heat. However, there is much progress in terms of Gigas stop signal and my position with my body. So today has just been really nice!

Pictures from today

Here are some picture from today's event.

Now it's official!

Now it's official. Victor got moved from Sweden to Denmark today. It was mentally tough because I love with all my heart my parents' farm in Sweden. And the nature is so beautiful and lovely. But I had to see what was best for Victor. Many of my friends showed up at the Flower Farm to say hello to Victor. The trip went really well, he called much after his friends in Sweden. Virtually the entire trip he called after Baltazar and Molle. Flower Farms horses was really nice to him. But he just had to show of a little. Unfortunately, Giga was not particularly thrilled to meet Victor again. I had a romantic vision that they would be like crazy excited to see each other again. But Giga responded fairly aggressively towards Victor. She kind of attacked him. I was completely shocked. I am afraid she has got too much confidence and has become too dominant. So that I must work on. It's really a shame!

I went out to the farm again at 8 o'clock because it's all a bit exciting and I had to say hello to Victor and see how he was doing. When I got up on the farm, I saw that the fence between the mares and geldings was destroyed and Victor had some deep wounds. I have no idea what had gone wrong in the 4 hours I wasn't there! But things had really gone bad. They were otherwise all so calm when I left them. I hope the wounds won't get an inflammation but tomorrow I have to clean them :-(
So the day ended, unfortunately, not quite as I had expected.

Long time no see!

I'm sorry once again!

My everyday life has been pretty hectic the last few weeks. Fortunately I had a little vacation last week. I was in Sweden, enjoying the Swedish countryside with my two beautiful boys. I have spent much time planning Victors travel to Denmark. He'll soon move from Sweden to Denmark. I can not help being a little sad. The Swedish forest and mountains were my back yard. I know all the magical and secret places where no one rode there horses. BUT Victor has better of coming to DK and I miss him very very much!

What regards Giga: The training goes really well. I'm getting lessons a couple times a month. So there is progress, which is really nice. But it was a tough battle, she's a mare with Heart and Soul. But it seems like we have come over the hurdle :-)

Victor is soon moving to Denmark!

I can hardly wait. It's official now. He's moving to Denmark in august. He's gonna' stay at the Flower Farm with Giga. It will be interesting to see how they'll react when they again become united! I think they'll get really happy to see each other.



A little extra note to any Danish readers: I'm looking for someone who can have him all weekdays and one weekend a month. Since my education and new work starts in august I really need a little help.

Riding lesson

Today I got a riding lesson from Nanna. Nanna has worked 4 months for Andrew McLean in Australia. This is my third lesson. Nanna's just super talented and I love her way of teaching. However, it was very difficult for me and Giga. It's about taking very small steps forward but I saw a lot of good moments today. And Giga was really good today. A very postiv day!

Dunbrody

Dunbrody is surely a candidate for Giga. When I can afford it, I'll love to get some frozen sperm from him. I am totally In Love.+ He's an Irish Cob with a good hight. I would get the most wonderful foal with Giga as a mother and him as a father. But right now it's only wishful thinking :-)
