Smart tips!

I just read on a Facebook group, that a teacher had a pupil with big problems regarding hard hands.

She had swapped out the reins with a rubber band chambon - then it's quite difficult to have hard hands. The rubber band should teach the pupil about the lack of elastic which the student had in his hand, and to ride more with the seat. I think it's pretty smart, if it's just in the beginning.

Bitless Competition at 2012 Helsinki Horse Fair Huge Success!

Here's a small update on how it went to the bitless competition in Helsinki. 


The Tunne Hevonen(horse on finnish) Dressage Challenge with bitless dressage competition exhibition held on Saturday 3 March 2012 at the second ever Helsinki Horse Fair in Finland was a huge success. The fair was attended by around 42,000 visitors and the exhibition was Saturday's main attracttion.  The idea was to show that good riding is not based on equipment, but on good horse riding skills and good horsemanship.

Another day of sickness

As I said the previous days, I have been very sick, so there's not much concerning horse training. But I am every day out and say hello to Giga and today was no exception. I saw that there has come a really sweet new Irish Cob gelding to the farm. It is quite small compared to Giga but it looks pretty cute. It's fun to see how many variations there are of the Irish Cob breed, they come in all sizes and colors.

Tomorrow I'm going to feed another horse on the farm, the sweet Fell mare, the owner needed some help. Additionally, I hope I'm fresh enough to train Giga. I miss training her seriously. And I'm REALLY tired of being sick all the time. I don't get far with being sick all the time!

This blog starts to become more and more depressing, can you feel it? xD

Just Horses, just music, just fun. Enjoy!

Look at this lovely video. And enjoy!!

I'M IN LOVE!

This Shire stallion is just my dream horse. He's so handsome I can't even describe how great I think he is! He's welcome to come and meet Giga! ;-)

Morbid shoes!

Is it just me who thinks these shoes are morbid? There are many who thinks they are super cool but I can not help thinking poor pony/horse. Ugh, I don't like them at all!
