Thunder & Lightening & Rain

Cornelia & Sia
3 hours of play with Cornelia and her lovely swedish warmblood (halvblood) Sia.
My first day of my well deserved 5 days off now. Feels almost like vacation.
My morning started with apple - cinemon pancakes. One of Shawn´s specialty are american pancakes and we have them quite often. We invited Johan our neighbour and had a wonderful breakfast. It was the first time we made pancakes with apples and cinemon and if you like pancakes and haven´t tried this version yet - it´s super yummy and you can´t stop eating.
At lunch I picked up Cornelia, who just lives 200 meters away from our place and we drove to the stable. After we both mucked out our stables we build a super fun Parelli obstacle course and the sandpaddock. No one else is using that paddock lately cause the footing isn´t the best and it´s pretty wet there right now.
We are using it regularly though. Let´s see how long it takes until someone else is complaining about our obstacles though...
We built up a Sundial, plastic tarp, L-shape obstacle, black tube, 3 barrels laying down, 5 cartires for the weave pattern and figure 8´s and one little jump after the car tires.
On the weekend I´m going to borrow Anita´s or Pat´s horsetrailer for the trailerloading part of my upcoming audition. Oh yeah, I´m planing the level 3 audition even though our canter is still non existing but it will be in a few weeks ;).
Halfway through our playsession it started to pour down but we still kept playing.
It was super fun and I´m totally impressed by Cornelia´s skills. She is for sure level 3 -4 and super talented. It´s a pleasure to watch her play and a big inspiration.
Another fun thing is that she will move her two mares into our turn-out stable - after the owner´s build a roof outside the stable.
Homemade spinach pasta now with a pinenut - mushroom sauce and a zucchine, olive, basil sauce. Thanks to Shawn and Johan
