A little filly got born on Valentine´s Day.
Walking with Milva 30min in the afternoon while it was snowing. I think we finally came to the point where we both starting to enjoy our walks together. Of course the more I walk with her the calmer she gets and combining the 7 games in our walks sure helps.
40min in the ridinghouse.
20min undemanding time watching another boarder lunging her horse while I gave Milva scratches. I can´t stop wondering if people realise how much they desensitize their horses with constantly clicking with their tongue and making all other weird noises and using the longeing whip constantly. Horrible!
I put a buble around Milva and me so it wouldn´t bother her too much.
Our liberty circles are getting better and better on both leads. Very nice close range circles to the right again in walk and trot! To the left she nicely stretched forwards downwards, her back coming up and a nice soft expression on her face. She gave me some lovely trot canter transitions but has right now a bit of a hard time to maintain gate. It has nothing to do with not wanting though but strictly with struggling with balance and strength. Which will come with the time naturally so for now it´s important not to discourage my little pumpkin.
How cute!!! What a great day to be born! I hope she has a cute name :)
ReplyDeleteYes, very cute baby! What kind of horse? Also Trakehner?
ReplyDeleteoh no!! no trakehner, the stable owner actually said she would never let herself down to the level to breed trakehner. kind of funny. anyway she could never handle a trakehner anyway cause you actually have to have a feel for horses ;). so i think it´s a holsteiner or hannoveraner. milva is the only trakehner in our stable and there are not too many in sweden - for a reason, and it´s not the fault of the breed. so now i better shut up before i offend to many out theres ;)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, very interesting!
