Thinka

The wether is changing fast her in this part of Norway. Yesterday it was snow, and slippy roads.. today... well you can se for youre selfe!

Let me introduse you to my new mare. Thinka is 7 years old. 140 cm tall and 22 cm round her front legg bone. She was bougt from Denmark a couple of weeks ago. Originly she came from England two years old. She is in foal with a tinker stallion I dont know anything about. (if anyone know here, and know the stallion, please let me know!!!)
She seems to be a really nice tempered one. So calm.
I'll take som new photos of her when she is a bit cleaner and dry:)

Sinclair

Two posts in one day - wow Mona!!!
I've been home from work sik today. Starting to feel a bit better now, and I really felt like some fresh air. To force my self outside - I broth along the camera.
Sinclair is wearing a blanket - and he was so happy when he got to have it off for a photo session!
Sinclair is 3 years old.. we are some wondering if we are going to keep him, or put him out for sale... If there is someone seriously interested in a stallion, feel free to contact us.

What did I just do???

Oki, so I got a phone call from JP. A couple of Mont's ago I told him that I was on the search for a good mare. My demands was that se was heavy, lots of feathers and not black.

So... yesterday this time I knew nothing... tomorrow this time... She will be home with me!!

She is 7 years old. BLACK and white - and in foal to an unknown stallion. Well ridden and drown. She came from England, but has been with a family in Denmark for 5 years now. Dos anyone know here? She is named Thinka. (I'd really like to hear from you if you know her!!!)

I know it's a bit wilde - but is is so fun to get new horses... and I have not had a new one since July!!!

Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed - It's a two hour drive to pick her up from the transport she is arriving with... and to day the road is so icy that it is impossible to drive with the horse trailer.

Pictures of her will have to wait - the ones I've got are lousy mobile phone ones.

Winter!!!

Finally the rain gave up for a couple of days. We even had some snow!!! It's early in this part of the country.
Here is some fresh pictures of the horses.
Rosie is already starting to look pregnant. She is the first one to foal next year- early in April! The father is off course Ickie. Sinclair... 4 years old stallion. So nice and calm. He gets to live with the mares now - since they all are in foal til Ickie. The Yearling fillies and Lone is in an other field - no stallion for the young girls yet:) I believe Rose to be interested in meeting Sinclair yesterday, because she stood by the fence - all by herself looking at him yesterday. Poor girl:)
Two good friends. Rosie and Nelly. The have got really winter coat now, and look like teddy bears.
The best news.... Monday the workers will start on building my new stable!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for this almost two years now. YIPPPI!!!!!!
It will be big. With 4 induvidual stables, and one big stable where they can be feed inside and be free to go outside when they want to. I soo need this.

Et lite livstegn...

Ja så har vi kansje ikke vært så ivrige på å poste bilder i det siste. Har vel litt med været å gjøre. Dessuten er det for min del i mørkeste laget å ta bilder når jeg kommer hjem fra jobb.

Minker på hestene her hjemme hos meg nå. Kongen reiste til ny eier på lørdag.. og 3 av føllene reiste jo i høstferien. Penny går fortsatt i lag med mamma da - må se å få tatt noen nye bilder av henne.

Corny står på i stallen på jobb... Uten tvil den roligste hingsten jeg har vært borti. Hvem som helst kan håndtere han. Hvis vi får hjelp av noen som er uerfarne til å leie ut hester - ja da passer det fint at de tar Corny, så kan vi ta de litt mer sprettne varmblodsene:)

Kjører han mest med 4 hjult vogn - han viser tydelig at det er det han liker best. Gutten foretrekker å dra litt tyngre, en å få vekten av den to hjulte vognen på ryggen.
Her om dagen hadde vi han med på tur i undervisningen - elevene fikk kjøre han samtidig som to andre hester var med. Gutten jobba som en helt - slitsomt å holde følge med en kalblodstraver ja:))

Vil ikke kjøre han hver dag, så når vi ikke kjører tar vi oss en tur ut å leker. Klikkertrening er digg. Han er helt i 100 - dilter tett i hælene på meg, og gjør alt han kan for å gjette hva det er jeg vil. Helt tydelig at slik trening er slitsomt mentalt.... må ta meg selv litt i nakken å ikke holde på for mye - blir litt ivrig av og til:)
