Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.

Slept since I came home

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Unfortunately, I have slept most of the day. I have actually almost only slept since I came home to the farm in Sweden. I have been really sick. So my holiday is pure relaxation in the bed.

 However, I have had a really lovely evening and I've got some really great gifts. Here is a picture of some of the horse-related things.

The horses are doing well in Denmark. There are three sweet girls who are looking after them. I miss them very much. But now that I'm ill, it is very nice to be home and be cared for by my lovely mother.

Merry Christmas

 

 

Video Hungarian Post

 

 

Giga and Heaven. It's not me on them. My knee is still quite sore :-/

 

This is the first time Giga and Heaven tries Hungarian post.

The idea is that they should go together for a show on 19/1-2013. And as it looks now, they may well go good together :-)

 

 

       

 

                 

Could Giga join the show?

Hello everyone!

Once again, I haven't updated my blog. I can only say it's my illness that keeps me back and everyday stress.

But the latest you heard from me was that Giga was going to Roskilde.
It started a little bad. I went out to the trailer with Giga but I don't think she saw the ramp, because suddenly she fell down with both front legs on the ramp. She laid down on her front legs a pretty long time and then she began sliding slowly down completely to the ground. Fortunately, she came up on her feet again and she was not frightened by the incident. She's just such a cool and calm horse! The rest of the road went really well to Roskilde. She got into a huge box with straw. She was just in the seventh heaven.

The next day we should ride quadrille riding. It went really good. She was praised by all even by my riding instructor. He thought she was the most beautiful Irish Cob he had ever seen. And I rode her just so nicely. I was almost embarrassed by all the praise we got :-)


After training came the decisive, could Giga join the show. She was put together with the Friesian horse, Heaven. In the beginning it didn't go too well. Heaven was not particularly fond of Giga and she threatened to kick her. But it actually ended up really good. As they became more familiar to each other. They just looked beautiful together. My riding instructor was so happy and fond that he offered me free stabling throughout January because he wanted to borrow her for the show! Awesome! I'm really proud of Giga. She's just a sweetheart.

Just a horse?

I've had a very exciting day at school

I've had a very exciting day at school today. First we had a vet out in the stable who showed us something about vaccines and rasping of the horse's teeth. It was very exciting and he was really good at explaining things in an interesting way.

 

 

Later we got riding lessons and had stable work to do. We're gonna ride a show on January 19th and the unique feature is that three people are going to ride a romanian style of riding. Ie they stand on two horses. Giga might be a part of it. I'm driving her up to the school Wednesday and then my teacher will judge if she's good enough :-)
