driving, driving and driving..

Last weekend I brogth Thinka and Rose with me to Stavanger. Rogaland Western Klubb arranged a driving course. Jens Peder Nielsen was the instructor. We had so much fun!! My girls did quite well, all thou we still need to practise a lot;)



There were several other tinker horses and owners there as well.. (Inger, Tom, Christine, Maggen ,Solfrid og Sindre) I have to admit I forgott all about taking photos - and the ones I took is in such a lousy quality - I'll leave the all out. But I have to mention it always is extra fun to meet other tinker horse owners. We really shoud do this more freekvently!

Teddy and Robin at the foal show

Today - just for fun and practice - we took Teddy and Robin to an un-official foal show.
They where the only tinker foals there, and although they didn`t get in the top group of the foals, I think their grades were okay.
But there were no doubt who was the calmest and most patient foals there - while the other ones were jumping around, screaming for mummy and being very active - Teddy and Robin just stod there looking at all the drama!
There is sure a HUGE difference in temper between tinkers and other breeds! :)
Teddy and Robin out in "the big world" for the first time!
It is a little scary, but exciting too...
Even (our son and my co - photographer today ;) Robin, Mikal and Teddy.
Me, Mikal and our "babies".

Ok built colt with nice movements and good legs.
And here we are - happy with our two boys :)
