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 :-)

Horse prefers Pepsi?

I think this horse prefers Pepsi?

Too many Red Bulls?

Yesterday I was out on a long trip with two of my really good friends! We had a really fun ride. We had probably been drinking too many Red Bulls, so our energy level was pretty high.
It was some nice warm weather - for once. The only thing that really sucked was all the flies. Giga hates them! We rode out at 3 o'clock and was home again at 6 o'clock. Poor horses!


So Giga got trained "lightly" today. And it went pretty well. I think we are ready for some academic teaching. I have already contacted a trainer.

Cute!

How cute are these two? I'm in love <3

Positive training session

Despite my very negative experience with Giga yesterday we had a really positive training session today. She was very upset because all the flies. They are very angry at the moment and bite so hard. So it was a factor I should consider. She got 3-4 angry flips (She tried to run away with me). But we got through it and she began to respond well to my stop signal . However, the trip was very short in the woods. But rather stop too soon than too late. And this is really hard for her, unfortunately.

It may well be that Giga is a real bastard sometimes.
But she's just a really wonderful horse for most of the time. I love that mare!

The saddle didn't fit -.-

The saddle didn't fit. Giga was COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE. I've never experienced anything like it. She didn't care about me at all! She pushed, squashed and even stepped on me. So now she's going to really get some intense training of her stop signal.

But unfortunately she bucked with the saddle. SUCKS!

Cross fingers

Today I'll try another saddle on Giga, cross fingers for it fits her. 

I really would love to soon have a new saddle! She needs one!

Wow, what a horse!

This is Trovador da Raposa, bred by Heitor Nisencwajg in Brasil. He was Champion Stallion over 5 years old in this year's International Lusitano Expo in Lisbon. 

That stallion can some good moves, if you know what I mean ;-D
