Liberty dressage clinic was pretty neat!

We learned mostly basics, but that was super nice and I definitely will be able to use some of it in our daily business.

The red woman however was baked by all the thinking. It really was physically exhausting for her. I did feel a bit bad for her, not gonna lie, but I guess learning new things just is exhausting at first and by the end she really did well. Especially considering patience and focusing ain't exactly her strong suit.

So yeah, that was really fun. Hopefully we will get another chance to learn more soon.

I'm no really good pet blogger. I always forgot to, well, blog.

Anyway, hope you and your ponies are all well and had a good summer? What was up here?

- no more sarcoid. yay.

- hurt leg. ouch. but luckily looked worse than it was.

- renovated paddock over the summer for the girls. very exciting. very self-destruct prone for self-destruct-pony. plz don't.

- worked hard on the speedy when other horses are with us hacking. the red woman seems to have understood what I request, but I know her and I know that on spicey days like crisp january mornings or when hormones kick again in spring I will see if she will be kind enough to remember what we talked about.

We also have a liberty dressage clinic this weekend. Let's how much we emberass ourselves and if I remember to blog about it.

Not by -any means- perfect but I have to make a presentation for my school and talk about flying pace next week. One of the instructions was "make it look like you." So here's a low frame attempt at my little girl pacing. :')

When the horse recognises another horse but is confused about 2D.

(I wasn’t fast enough with my phone to record her actually softly nickering at the poster that’s been there for over two years.)

Look at that colour! Also look at the horse in the background; its tail has three colours.

After almost five years of saying that Shakira rears like a movie horse, but no photos to prove it, she kindly demonstrated her skill in the same part of the field that I was.

Spring greetings from this little nuisance. Right now we still have a tad too much energy in this small horse, but it's kinda a spring thing and I hope we shall get a normal rocket level at some point, not just opinionated I wanna run around like an idiot rocket eventually. XD

This is a picture from half a year ago, but it occurred to me yesterday while I was keeping Lilja’s head in place during her second treatment that these animals really have to trust us a hecking lot to just let us do these things to them.

She’s been drugged to stay calm and feel a bit less as her teeth get filed down from being like a staircase to nearly straight (it was bad, now it’s almost good). Machines that make loud noises and vibrate get put in her mouth and there’s weird smelling dust everywhere. Meanwhile her human is gently patting her hair and praising her for staying put, and half an hour later she’s back with Fjara and eating hay like nothing happened.

Same goes for the other 3 (namely Týra, Solita and Ieniemini), who just come walking up to you after all that, asking for a treat (and a brush bc it’s shedding season and they’re all itchy ladies).

I don’t really think about it often, but sometimes it’ll hit me how much they trust that we have their best interests at heart and they know this in their own way.
