Horses don't know how to count?

If you believe horses don't know how to count, 

put three carrots in your pocket and give him only two! 

Heavy horse

For those who do not believe that a heavy horse can do fine in high level dressage. So far as I know is this a Belgian mare who is currently competing in Lb events and she states with the normal warmblooded horses. 

Academic / Spanish saddle!

I want a Spanish saddle now! I wish I had the money for it, because NOW I have my beautiful pad and bridle. I wish I was rich! I would use all my money on equipment for my horses.

Check just some of these saddles out. I'm drooling and dreaming about them!

I want this one in black! 

What a day :-)!

I can only say: Wow, I'm just so proud of my Lady Giga. I have a very sweet and talented horse. I was a little anxious about Helena was going to ride her today but Giga showed me that I don't have to worry. She was just so nice to Helena, although Helena has not ridden in 6 years or so. Giga looked after her really well, both in trot and canter.

There were many out on the farm today and don't ask me why but everyone just wanted to talk to me and Giga. She who has stabled the Shire horse out at the farm, was ecstatic with Giga. And she knew me apparently from facebook, the world is small sometimes. And a woman who was visiting was also ecstatic with Giga, she said several times that she was completely in love with Giga. After Helena had ridden her, she came and asked if she could to try Giga. And since it went well with Helena I thought it probably would go well with her. Which it did. So Giga was thoroughly ridden today. She was also very tired and sweated a lot. There were also many who just sat and watched as I rode Giga. I am not accustomed to so much praise, I am always very shy.

My friend Helena

Today my friend Helena is going to ride Giga. It'll be interesting to see. Normally I don't let no one ride her except people who are very experienced. But Helena misses very much to ride. And I'm standing right beside them and I'm watching if every thing goes well. They'll probably do fine :-)

The picture says it all

Dull weather, BUT!

I've had a great day despite the dull weather. I rode a long trip in the woods with two sweet girls from the Flower Farm. I love being in their company, it's always fun to ride with them. The time goes so fast despite we only walked the whole way on our horses. It went really well with Giga. She's still a little fat and sweats a lot. But it's hard to ride in the winter without a big indoor arena.

There was little drama before we went out to ride. Giga and another pony named Merlin started to fight up by the grooming area. When I came out from the saddle room I saw they kicked after each other. But luckily there was someone out there who yelled at them so they stopped.

And when I came out to the farm today I heard a lot of strange sounds out in the paddock with the "stable horses". I went down to see what was happening. At first I thought, "SHIT", "what is Giga doing in that paddock", but when I looked twice I saw it was a Shire gelding. He's just so beautiful! They are so elegant looking. He's new on the farm, however, he's only staying there a few weeks. Sadly :-/
