Spanish steps
Right now I practice much trick training with Giga. As I have said, I've much focus on rearing, which goes really well, I've tried twice to sit on her now while she does it. It's so awesome!
Today the horses got a day off, but I couldn't resist practicing some tricks on Giga. We are practicing Spanish Steps. It goes very well, however, she has a hard time getting her hind legs with her. She's very focused on making big beautiful steps with her front legs so she forgets the rest of the body. But it's okay, it will come :-D
So sorry
Sorry, I haven't been active here on the blog.
There has been a lot of drama at the stable after the farm owner got two completely crazy horses to the stable. One was a Frederiksborg horse the size of a freaking tower! It was new neuterd and had never been on a field with other horses, and the owner had never owned a horse before, she seemed sweet but very insecure - SUPER, to take such a horse in to a farm, especially now that the mares on the farm is going in the same herd with the geldings. Which isn't generally a problem, but if you have a gelding that still thinks it's a stallion, it's bad business
The other horse was a Fjord horse mare, which had gone without human contact in 3 years. It almost killed me when I was trying to give its muzzle and halter on. The horse had laminitis and should have a muzzle on - damn smart when you know that all the stables' horses is going on huge field with knee high grass!
The Fjord horse created trouble in the sense it was not easy to handle, but with the herd it was all good. Victor was totally in love with her. BUT the giant Frederiksborg was a nightmare. As predicted, it didn't have natural horses languages and was still very like a stallion. This means ALL horses got beat up, which in sense of big wounds and sore muscles. Even Giga has gotten problems with her lower back after that crazy horse. She constantly had to kick it away.
With all this said, I have nothing against the girls who own the horses. I just think it's very irresponsible that neither the owner of the farm had asked thoroughly enough into the new horses and the owners had not informed enough regarding their horses. It is a shame for all parties. And we've now got a lot unnecessary damage to the horse and the fence had to be made many times. So that's why I have been a bit distracted...

Happy Giga
I had such a nice day with my boyfriend. Giga absolutely loves him, it's so fun to see her.
She comes running everytime she sees him! I may think his delicious bread plays a small role in her excitement.

More pictures from KMM
I spent my day off today at CPH medieval market. Unfortunately, it was really bad weather, so there was not much activity with the horses. I managed to see Lopes and the others ride a little, but it was not much. All seemed tired incl. the horses, so I think people became even more sluggish due to the weather, which is fully understandable. It was fun to see Victor in action, he was actually quite good today. I am still very impressed and I'm certainly motivated to continue in the same style.

CPH Medieval Market!
Today I went to Copenhagen medieval market (KMM) with Sille who's riding Giga for me some days in the week. It was a great experince. Victor is soooo cool. Peter has trained my horse really good! I got a bit Star Strucked by Mishaƫl Abia Lopes Cardozo, I blused a lot when Peter threw me up behind him, I'm so shy. But it was just such a great day, I'm kind of out of words xD
Deep red color
Look at my new saddle blanket for Giga. I'm in love with this deep red color, it suits her. Now I'm just waiting on my new saddle so I no longer have to ride in this ugly old one.
I have ordered a Spanish / academic saddle. And I'm looking forward to getting it soon!
