A small summary of January. I've been working my ass of with Giga for two weeks on our school show. As I said, the show went well.
I picked Giga up Sunday evening. The trip home went insanely wrong! It went fine with getting her up in the trailer, she's so easy concerning that. We drove on the highway and suddenly my friend and I hear very strange sound, so we choose to stop at a nearby gas station. On the way to the gas station people honked and yelled hysterical at us. So we knew something was very wrong!
The back tire on the trailer was completely destroyed. Giga began to panic, and I must honestly say I panicked to. I called a Danish car service, called Falck, which usually comes and "saves" people in need. But they wouldn't help us, they don't help in horse cases, like what the fuck! Well, what do you do then, I thought. My friend remembers suddenly that Stud Kronplet where Giga is stabled has a huge horse trailer.
We call Mona who owns the farm. And she came immediately to rescue us. She arrived 20 minutes later. We got Giga loaded fast in the new trailer and when we almost had closed the door she jumped over the front barrier and got stuck with her frontleg. We tried everything to get her to throw the leg back. But she looked like someone who had already given up. But eventually we got motivated her to get the leg over the barrier.
My friend had to stand in the trailer with her all the way home. Fortunately no one was injured and Giga are perfectly fine now. I don't know if I can get her up in a trailer again after all the bad experiences. But I still have to get over the shock. So when I'm ready I have to try and see if Giga has gotten any traumas.
News about Victor is that I have had a vet out to him. He had gotten something disgusting goop under his stomach. My last rider to him hadn't brushed him good enough. So I had to cut all his hair of. But the fact is that Victor hates a cut-machine. It ended up with that the vet had to sedate him for 2 tonnes, before he began to relax! He's just a fighter, poor thing! He also got his teeth rasped, which he needed much. So Victor looks quite ugly, but my old boy is much happier now with all the hair of. Luckily, there have been minus degrees and snow ever since he got alt the hair cut of. Mud creates all the problems!
