TG for Parelli training

Dropped my Mecate rein while I rode Milva today and of course she stepped on it. Thank goodness for her Parelli training, instead of flipping out she remained calm and stepped of the rein. Smart girl.
Walk around the pasture afterwards, some grazing and undemanding time in the pasture, fixing the fence together with Sune and a quick trip to the equestrian store to get a mineral stone.

Höstrunda med Anita

Livet finns bara där
självklart och som om det alltid funnits
Rutinerna tar över
vi hinner inte
Dagar,veckor,månader och år bara rusar iväg och vi följer bara med...
som om vi var tvungna till det

Men vem har sagt
att vi måste springa genom livet?
Vem har bestämt
att allt ska gå så fort?
En dag kanske allting stannar upp
Inom loppet av bara några minuter
kan hela vår värld förändras

Den värld vi tar för given
De människor vi älskar
men inte alltid talar om det för
När de försvinner
finns inte längre någon självklarhet

Ta ingen för givet....

"Those who wish to sing always find a song" -swedish proverb

Raining and grey here today, which already makes me miss the summer even though I love autumn with it´s vivid colours.
I found this really delicious tea in Denmark - you also can order it in Sweden online.
It´s called "Celestial", flavoured herb tea. I got Cinnamon Apple Spice and one with Mandarines. Each teabag has a quote on it which makes it even more special. The current one I´m drinking now has the one above on it.
Off to the pony now to see what she is up to...

Big News!! There will be an article about Milva and me in "Der Trakehner"

http://dertrakehner.de/

Soooooo.....there will be an article about Milvis and me in "Der Trakehner". It´s a monthly magazine for Trakehner breeders and owners in Germany and worldwide. The article will be about our horsemanship journey...It´s huge....very huge for me....and it sure will bring me one step closer to performing at Neumuenster...
See my problem is never that I think I can´t do things...I always think I can do anything, which sometimes brings me in more or less big troubles...so my point being is...what I´m gonna say???
How to explain our journey???
I guess I should have thought about that before right....but things always work out in the end, don´t they???
Here is the email I got...

Liebe Frau Princic,

Für Ihre Mail ganz herzlichen Dank, und bitte entschuldigen Sie meine späte Rückmeldung.
An einem Beitrag von Ihnen habe ich sehr großes Interesse – das klingt ganz spannend und wir sollten sowieso mehr “über den Tellerrand” schauen ... Terminlich kann ich mich gern nach Ihnen richten, der Winter ist lang und alles , was unser Magazin dann ein wenig butner macht, freut mich sehr! Text und Fotos (in Druckauflösung, d.h. Nicht unter 600 dpi) brauche ich zum Beginn des Vormonats, also falls die Januarausgabe Erscheinungsdatum ist zum 1. Dezember, Für die Februarausgabe zum 1. Januar etc. ch kann versprechen, dass ein Artikel erscheinen wird, allerdings nicht exakt die Ausgabe – wenn aktuelle Sachen eintrudeln muss ich fast jedes Mal Texte verschieben und da erwischt es immer die, die keinen direkten aktuellen Bezug haben. Aber wenn Sie mit “1. Quartal 2014” leben können - prima.

Alles Gute nach Schweden (ich habe übrigens mal ein Jahr in Uppsala studiert, eine wunderbare Zeit, aber schon sooo lange her ...)
Und herzliche Grüße
Imke Eppers

Busy Day for Milva & Me....no words needed really....

Rambo Air Pad

I got this precious pad from Sandra when I was at Anita´s stable :).
I always wanted to have a pad like this one! It´s almost the same as the Parelli Theraflex pad but the big difference is that it is one piece. I could never get the Theraflex pad to work. It took me forever to saddle with it and it still didn´t lay even. It was always crucket on one or the other side and drove me nuts. I have heard now from more Parelli people all over the world that they had the same problems.
The Rambo Air Pad has the same air ventile as the Theraflex but because it´s one piece it´s very easy to use and stays in place. I also used it under the bareback pad it works perfectly!
Love it!!!!
