Show 19/1-2013


January has been an exciting but also a very busy month. As mentioned, we had a horse show at my school. Everything went super awesome. Giga was so good. It went far better than expected, our rehearsal went so wrong. I almost fell of Giga and when 4 people clapped all 10 horses ran of. It was pretty strange, Giga is usually very calm but because of all the other horses, she got quite excited and she ran of with me twice. And the first time I ended up completely out on her neck, it was pretty wild.

But fortunately all the horses was extremely sweet at the show and I'm just so proud of Giga. We only had two weeks to rehearse it all!

Home Sweet Home


I'm back at home (Denmark). I've been sick as you all know. So I haven't written much on the blog. I hope I get more energy to it. I've enjoyed seeing my horses again. They are doing well. However, there has been a lot of drama concerning. Victor's new rider.

Therefore I went home early to see how it all looked. I rode Victor, and he was REALLY signal confused. Poor horse, the new rider has just destroyed him! So now I have to start over with a part of his back and stop signal. Everything is quite messy in his head. He didn' seem happy, his spark in his eyes was completely gone. So I'm really upset. But everything's gonna be okay, he's a strong horse. So he'll get happy soon.
If you are wondering why I have a rider to Victor it's because right now I have no time for two horses. So I have tried to find a regular rider for him. Unfortunately, this girl wasn't very honest and responsible. Although she agreed to Victors special mind and that his shape right now wasn't that good. It sucks. But at least I have some honest friends, otherwise I wouldn't have figured it out so fast :-)

In the picture is my first rider to Victor. The two of them just fit perfect together. Her new horse died after she had had it for a month. So she just needed a break concerning. horses. Which is understandable. Fortunately, she wants to be his rider again. Which is a relief! :-)



Look at all the snow we had in DK!
I want it back, I hate mud!

The Draft Horse in Art

 
I'm just sitting and looking at some old antique pictures of horses on google, yea I'm a bit bored, it isn't easy for me lying in bed all day long. I found some really beautiful pictures of the big powerful draft horses.
 
This one looks like Giga!
