Ickie

Okay - so we swapped stallions. I'm not shore if Ickie is to happy about it. In stead of being in the field with his ladies he now has to work. The fist few days he tried to pretend to be lacy - so I had to tell him off a bit - letting him know wat I expected of him. Now he seems to find it fun to play. His favorite is playing run and play in the indoor arena, but it is almost impossible to get good photo shots in there... t bad - he is really nice to watch when he show off like that. To day we have been outside "tømkjørt" Don't know the English word for it, driving without a waggon.
He is a pretty boy, don't you think?


Not to clean on his feet - but o'yes - he has hair!!!

Okay.....

...long time - no see ;)
You may have noticed that recently Mona has been doing all the blogging....
I have ben so busy renovating our new home because we are moving before X - mas; and that is way I have been so quiet lately.
And because of my lack of time; Ickie has recently moved to Monas place where she will be training him for the approval in March.
Corny has "moved in" with me :)
He is growing into a heavy little stallion and I just had to snap some pics of him today when he was trying to show off for some of my mares (who wasn`t interested at all hihihi...)
He isn`t that clean in these photos though.......
Hey girls - check this out!!!
Where are you going???
Stupid halter - let me loose!!!
Ahh, I give up.......

Thinka

Finally (I seems that I say this a lot these days..) Today i got some new photos taken of my new mare Thinka. I am so pleased with her. She is very easy to ride. Yesterday my daugther used her on her riding class. Thinka was behaving just at I wanted her to.
I think she is a bit slim - and was wondering if she migth not be in foal, but the other day I saw something moving in there!First she is standing quiet posing for me. Then I shouted for my dog - hes is my best companion when I need the horses to move and play a bit:)

new stable!!!

Finally - things are happening with my stable. I've been waiting for this almost two years now! The happening was so big for me that I had to take photos through my window (it was raining outside, and I guess the construction workers would smile at me if the saw me taking the photos:)) Okay, so it is at least a beginning. The whole thing measure 9x18 meters. The room at the left are for the horses to go together in and out as the want. The will be fed inside. At the left the will be 4 small stables. Two of them will have doors so they can walk inn and out as the wanted. I believe this will be nice for the stallions and mares in labour/ newborn foals.

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.
