Vestlandsbandens Golden Victory!

It was so fun taking pictures last Sunday, so I had to take advantage of the beautiful weather and snap a few shots of Victor as well :)

He will be 3 years old this May and he is developing into a fine young stud.

He is still a bit in his teens, but I think he will grown into his nice frame and become something really special ;)

He is a bit bog burned and the other young studs has chewed of some of his mane - grrrr.......hopefully it will soon grow back on....

He is such a sweetheart with the best temper you can imagine!

He is so polite - always trying to do his best for me....mummys boy ;)

Enjoying the snow!

Saying hello to Olivia....

And I had to add this cute photo of Katinka and Emily :)

And a few ones of Ickie...yes, I know I posted quite a few of him in my resent post, but look at this boy - he is so handsome (and he knows it well too hihihi...)

Hope you enjoyed!

Winter - time!

Okay - I`m back ;)

I know I haven`t been blogging much these last months - sorry - but finally I dragged myself out today and snapped some new pics of the horses......

It is February and King Winter has payed us a visit - and the horses are really enjoying it (compared to the mud we usually have here).

And our *star-boy* get most of the attention (as always) - he is such a caracther :)

And here he is - Ickie - coming 6 years this year.....doesn`t he look fancy in his pink halter? ;)

Showing off for the girls :)

Hey babes - take a look at me!!!

His mane has grown a LOT - he almost looks like a hippie now :)

Our mini - goats are wondering what has gotten into him hihihi.....

Gathering his little herd.

Holms Lacoste of Picasso!!!!

I'm not to happy about all the snow. Not happy at all - but there is at least one positive thing about it. The horses keep clean. So Lacoste had to have a photo shoot to day.
He is comming 3 years - and building out nicely!

We are alive;)

I know it's been a while. Winter is a quiet time - and normaly it is to dark to take photos of the horses when I'm not at woork.
But today we've had a beautifull sundag. I've started training Lacoste - oure comming 3 years old stallion (micha + Picasso)
I've tied to use Thinka as an educator and trainer - putting him into a pair with her. I've learned so much. This is really a great way of teaching the young horse how to pull a waggon!
Will do som trips with him on his own, and other ones together with Thinka.
I'll newer regrett that I had to work all summer to pay for my wagonnette!!!!!
Thinka has to have her blinders on - I sometimes have to use the wip on Lacoste, telling him to put in an effort.

A coming young coach?? 6 years old she migth be a bit to youg;)

Finaly all done:)

It's Christmas time!!!!

Juhu, It's Christmas. Family on wisit, tremendous amount of good food and gifts.

Before all this eating and gift trading we normaly take a wissit to the church. This year was special. Thinka and Rose was in an old fashion way pulling the family to church. Its an magic feeling - the horses trotting along and the bells singing. The only thing missing was some snow - but oh it really gave me a good christmas feeling!!

So, Ill just share som photos from oure day - and

wish all of you a Merry Christmas

and a happy new year!!!

Family trip

So, its' my birthday today... no numbers mentioned...
From my family I got a brand new small camera!! Just on top of my wish list! A canon ixus 85is. And off course I had to try it out at once.
Maia is starting to feel safe on the horse back - Thinka is just dooing an amazing job -- the calmest and best novice horse I've known.
So this was oure fist trip, all 3 riding. Suits me perfect... it's hard to walk the hills sorrounding oure farm! A proud 6 years old - riding her own pony. She preferes riding witout a saddle- And I think thas a good thing, she gets to tran her ballance perfect.

Magnar looks... well... he got the smalest horse. Have you seen "tre nøtter til Askepott" He reminds me of the teacher in that film;)
A little break. Thinka almoust fell asleep while Maia was fooling arround on her back.

I just love thes bums!! Lindas tail is so qute. This is wat made me relise that she is a silver bay colored horse. The DNA test proved it. And if you shooud be on serch.. she is for sale!!
