Very busy day

I've had a very busy day. The whole day has gone by riding and training horses.

I went to school at 8 o'clock, helped out in the barn and then I got told to go for a long walk with an injured horse. I walked for 30 minutes with a slightly fresh and nervous mare. Cute but hot-headed type. It went really well. Later we were handed horses. I got a horse named Luo Luo or as everyone calls her "the giraffe", she is very difficult to ride and runs with her head high in the clouds. So I just thought, oh no! I've never seen anyone who could ride her properly. She was very nervous at first, but when I got her warmed up it was really nice to ride her. I had no problems riding her​​. She was beautiful and relaxed and even my teacher was quite surprised. And yes it's easy to sit here and brag. But I brag very rarely and just in this case I'm SO proud of myself :-D

The injured mare

After school I had to hurry out to Victor and Giga. My beloved farrier came today and took care of the horses' hooves. Giga was praised to the skies but Victor was not easy today. Fortunately, Ian has an extreme good understanding in horse behavior and he treated Victor really nice despite he was several times very violent in his behavior. My farrier thinks many of his problems are mental, and he probably has been abused really bad. Fortunately, Ian just so calm and nice. I still hope I can keep him in despite of I'm moving the horses to another farm!
