Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!


It´s easy to forget to be thankful for all the little things that make us happy or simplify our lifes.
Being thankful for being alive and not sick and still have all the people around me I love - horses are people too.

I rode Orkan this morning and played with Milva at liberty.
Orkan was doing awesome. He backed up by just moving my legs - long rein and sideways was going well as well. He is definitely a little superstar and up for everything. Typical lbe!
Mondays he always having traditional dressage training, wednesday he is trained in showjumping then he goes out for long trailrides and with me he is doing some Parelli there inbetween.
Variety is the spice of life!
Riding Orkan with a western saddle is a whole different experience in itself. He has large movements and sitting down in trot is... well, let´s put it this way - not so easy and posting in a western saddle is not so easy either. Canter would be our preferable gait - both his and mine.
That´s another thing being greatful for - having the possibility to ride Orkan. Who what have thought that he is so much fun!
I didn´t ride for 3 years now except the few times I rode Paulina, Orkan and Milva. It sure doesn´t feel so long though and Orkan makes it easy too. Now I´m actually really looking forward riding Milva again!
I didn´t miss riding at all in those 3 years but I think the spark came back now.

  2. Happy tanksgiving till dig oxå. Framförallt när du berömmer min gangster så mycket. :-D. Ja han har det inte lätt Orkis att hålla reda på alla olika träningarna. Men jag kan säga att han nog aldrig varit så härlig som nu. :-D . Vi hoppade 1,1 m i går och han bara bjöd och tyckte det var superkul. Milva var sur på mig för hon fick bara en morot. Hon visar verkligen vad hon tycker och tänker.
