Who says ?

Who says that you are unable to ride your horse well in a Cordeo?
If there is one thing that can make me a little annoyed it's when people have prejudices. I've written about it before and it's old news - in other words the "war" between "normal" riders and Bitless riders. But that's how it is.
But I think Victor has a very nice trot and canter, taking into account we have not ridden for a week and I ride him in a cordeo. I miss sometimes Victor's calm temperament when I ride Giga. If Giga and Victor could get mixed I would have the "perfect" horse. But there is no perfect horse, and thank God for that :-)

My parents farm in Sweden

Here's some pictures of my parents farm and stable. It's a pretty nice place :-)

A lovely but cold day!

Today I rode Victor in my new Cordeo. I made it myself. And I think actually it was quite nice. The training went really well. He was a bit lazy but he's always heavy in the beginning. My mom came out and took some pictures of us :)

Live like...

                 

              

That's so true :-D

            

                                      

A small revelation

Today I got a small revelation. I have come to an conclusion; that I just have to enjoy the moment I live in. Yes, Giga is a bit strange these days BUT there's a small progress. As long as we just take one small step forward it's better than nothing.

Today I used much time on Giga. I brushed her for an hour almost. Then she got her cavesson on. I trained first some groundwork. A bit academic. With lowered head and calm movements. After having seen her temperament, I agreed with myself that I could easily ride her with my cavesson. And I was right. She was just so sweet. She was quite calm and did everything I asked her.

I didn't take any pictures today because I concentrate on our training and nothing else!

So my good news should be enough :-)



               
     

I hate imitators!

If there is one thing I HATE in life, it's when people imitates each other. Why? If I may ask. Once again I have been imitated. Not only does my pictures and texts get imitated, now there is someone who has taken it further. Now people are starting to imitate my website and blog. Please people, find your own style. You don't get far in life if you imitate everybody else.

Now, understand me right. It's fine to look up to people and then try to accomplish the same things. But imitation is not the way forward. We are all different and everyone has their own style - just trust yourself!
