I've taken a long break but now I've got back my interest to convey my knowledge and share my everyday life stories regarding my beautiful horses.
A lot has happened since I last wrote. I've sold my beautiful and clever Shetlandspony, Baltazar. Unfortunately I didn't feel like I had the time I wanted for him. So he lives now with a wonderful family, with two small children who have plenty of time and love to give.
I have moved my horses a little here and there. Especially Victor has had some turbulent years. I chose the winter of 2013 that I had to sell him. I felt like I didn't have time, money nor energy to him at all. However, it went not between the first buyer and him. They couldn't handle him and he was so unhappy there. So I had to drive to the end of Denmark and go get him back. Later that year, I tried again. I found a really nice man. I was visiting them and it all seemed just perfect. But suddenly at the last minute he jumped from the purchase, my gut feeling tells me that he actually had no money to start with but that I'll never find out, his excuse seemed quite strange though.
I tried again shortly after, when one of my dear friends from Sweden wrote to me. I immediately thought she would be the perfect owner for him. So they quickly came and picked him up. It went really well and he seemed so happy. However, when he had to undergo the full veterinarian check, he couldn't go clean through. There was something in his left hind leg that came after the bending test, he got a little stiff and lame. So they wouldn't buy him. Understandably they can't make a good insurance on him and at that time we didn't know if it was getting better or not. It was so sad, they were all very fond of each other and the farewell was very touching.
So everything indicates that he either has been ridden wrong with the man who would buy him or there was an injury occurred perhaps in the paddock. However, they deny everything.
I have chosen after all this uproar that I'm not selling Victor. He's a very special horse and possibly a 100% one-man horse. I've had him at home since late summer 2014, and his hind leg is getting better and better. I have three cute girls who's looking after him and it suits him very well. It's a super solution since I don't even need to spend much time on him but I can still keep an eye on him.
Concerning Giga. It's all good. She still has her great personality, everyone who meets her can't help but love her. The training is going forward, although we have had a long break. It has been cold and very wet this year, and it's two things we both hate. So she's got a good long winter vacation.
