Oh Happy Day!

Oh my, a academic saddle is in sight! I just love to get a letter which says that my previous work has forgotten to pay my holiday allowance :-D So now it may be that within the next month I have this beautiful saddle -->

Giga is going to try it on Monday. I hope it fits!!!

Whew it's hot!

Whew, it's hot in Denmark right now. It only get's hotter and hotter. I felt it was REALLY hot yesterday (+24), so I chose only to bathe Giga and feed her, I couldn't get myself to ride her in that heat. But I hadn't exactly anticipated that it would be +26 degrees today. Anyways, I went out and rode her in the woods. I rode along with a friend. Giga was pretty sweet, despite some small irritation moments. At least her behavior is on the right track.


If there's one thing Giga hates, it's flies. She waves with her tail all the time, she can't handle it, crazy horse :-P

So Hot!

I've had a FANTASTIC day! Today was the hottest day unto this year in Denmark. It was about 24+ degrees, now think, I rode in a tanktop and I was still hot? Lovely!

The first hour I spent just sitting and talking with some girlfriends on the outdoor arena. It was too hot to any of us bother to ride seriously. Afterwards I rode alone into the woods. Giga was at first very alert and nervous. But after a while she fell down and was fairly calm. It's afterall about 3,5 weeks since I last rode her in the woods.

After our wonderful ride. Giga got a proper cool bath. I don't think she has ever enjoyed a cold shower as much as she did today. She stood as if she was planted into the ground. She didn'´t move a muscle :-)

Chill day

Today I had my boyfriend with me out to Giga. It was really nice. He is quite afraid of Giga most because of her size but he did well. Today I trained Spanish Steps and then afterwards I walked and trotted a little on her. Unfortunately, I had many things I had to do today. Tomorrow I expect that I'll ride off into the woods. I hope the weather is good!

Haha, It's A-Okay!

Not bad!?

Homemade Halter

My first attempt to create a halter. It was a little too big, but practice makes perfect, I guess :-P?
All in all I am quite happy with the outcome. I have several projects started. Interesting, huh?

A little tip

Is your horse afraid for the sound of a spray bottle?
A horse's brain can't grasp several things at once. If you distract the brain the horse won't notice the "danger" it fears. So try to take your spray bottle while holding a water hose. While washing the horse's legs, begin to use your spray bottle. The horse will most likely not react and so you can praise it. And just as quietly, you can remove the distraction and then get a positive result.
