Finally a day without rain!

I think Denmark will soon drown. Throughout June, it has almost rained every day. What a summer, huh? Oh, but today it was thankfully beautiful weather and probably about 20 degrees. It was quite fortunate as me and three friends had agreed we would ride out together today. We rode down to a beautiful lake that lies pretty far from Flower Farm, ca. 1 hour. We rode from the farm at 09.30 and we were home again at 13.15. So it was a long trip. Giga did pretty good but on the way home, she got something of an mentalte breakdown. Very annoying. I'm a little tired of her. But I'll just have to train more in the woods. But otherwise we had a fun day at the lake. Giga was the first who was really out swimming, although it took some time to get her into the water. Crazy Horse!

Fire in Colorado

Put all of your energy and prayers for the folks in Colorado, please!


"HorseCouponBook.com is headquartered in Colorado and though we are a safe distance from the fires, our hearts sink every time we look to the South and see the smoke and flames engulfing this beautiful state. This photo shows just what horse owners are forced to do when such tragedy hits home, this is outside of Roundup, Montana. Our hearts are with those whose family and horses are close to the devastation no matter what state you're in. -HCB Team"

Spot on!

Eternity project

My horse exploits the bad weather. She has started to drink water from puddles, although she has fresh water out on the field, it tastes obviously better :-)

And red suits her pretty good. I'd just like to buy some little things for my horses and then suddenly this halter just fell down into my shopping cart. Ups!

Right now I'm doing something that feels like an "eternity project". I am looking for the perfect saddle for Giga, now that the one I wanted was taken from me. The saddler is trying to find something to me but no matter what I try, there is never something that is as good as the saddle I originally wanted. Sigh! I think we've tried 10 different saddles now.

Gypsy Horse Colors

My Sir Victor is Smokey Black and Lady Giga is Splash.

Look at this stallion

Look at this stallion. I am absolutely in love with him! USA and Ireland have so many beautiful stallions. They breed some beautiful types. Unfortunately, Denmark and Sweden judge completely wrong. The breed is getting smaller, they getting less hair character and their temperament becomes more fiery. That 's so wrong and it's not at all what the breed is about. Gypsies bred them in fact to be good natured and calm animals so they could associate with many people in all ages. They where going to live their lives out on the road. A temperamental horse wouldn't fit for such a life. And their massive hair should protect them from various diseases and protect them against minor injuries and wounds. So I don't get the judges in DK and Sweden.

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...
