Ok, Bunny is not looking at her best, , but this is how we worked. |
Calinka get really sweat now – so she get some clothes to cool down. Not pretty, but effective. |
Caught in the act… |
Bunny wanted to be the first to say hello. |
Tisdagen tog Maria hand om hästarna. Planen var tömkörning av Pepper och tydligen blev båda två varma och trötta – men kanske inte på planerat sätt. Det var glashalt ute så jobbet bestod i att försöka ta sig ner till ridbanan och det var vad som fick dem att bli helt färdiga båda två. Innan de ens var framme promenedrade de tillbaka efter trettio mointers fajt för att ta sig ett par hundra meter…
Percy is shedding and shifting color. Notice the yellow hair! |
Torsdag hade jag helst stannat hemma och gått och lagt mig. Men, väl i stallet fick jag energi och red Calinka i dressyr tills hon kom loss. En hel del skutt och protester innan så skedde, men till slut så gick det bra. Allting flöt på mycket bättre än senast, trots att pannlampan helt dött (vi ska försöka laga den i helgen). Pepper fick äntligen sitt tömkörningpass och var lite busig samt försökte hela tiden sakta av från galopp på specifika ställen eller sakta av till skritt vid vändningar. Så, han fick jobba på. Han är fortfarande inte som vanligt mot mig, men det går åt rätt håll. Väl hemma hade jag mer energi än när jag gav mig iväg – precis som det ska vara!
Maybe Bunny is shedding to? |
Tuesday and Maria took care about the horses. The plan was long reining Pepper and both got a good work out – but not really as planned. It was very icy outside so the work turned out to be to get to the arena, and before they reached it they gave up. That was after thirty minutes of fighting to try to walk a road that usually takes a couple of minutes…
Pepper also came to say hello – and to yawn. |
Thursday, and I had rather stayed at home, sleeping. But, in the stable I got energy and did some dressage with Calinka to get her softer. It took some jumping and stomping before her muscles started to soften up, but finally everything was ok. Everything in the stable worked much better than last time, even if my lamp didn’t work at all (we are going to try to fix it this weekend). Pepper finally got his long reining work. He tried to stop canter in one corner all the time and to slow down to walk every time I turned so we had some discussions about that. He is still not as usual towards me, but it is going in the right direction. Back home I had more energy than when I left. As it should be!

OK, hästarna var på plats och ville gärna in. Men, vattenslangen hade slagit femtielva knutar på sig och med ett antal minusgrader ville den inte alls knyta upp sig eller böjas som jag ansåg. En ny hösilagebal behövde tas fram, men pannlampan slocknade ungefär var 30:e sekund. Flera av Calinkas broddar var akut nerslitna och behövde bytas – men en var så sliten att det inte gick. Hästarna började allihopa gnaga på träet inomhus så jag trodde att jag skulle behöva slänga på antibitmedel akut…. Äntligen på hästryggen hoppade pannlampan (den som slocknade ofta) ur sitt fäste. På något sätt lyckaders jag efter mycket om och med tråckla fast den i gummibandet – men då lyste den mest ute i skogen. Däremot höll den sig faktiskt påslagen nästan hela ridturen. Jag var less på att allt gick så segt att det tog ett tag att varva ner och inse hur länge sedan det var jag satt på hästryggen på en ordentligare tur med Calinka.
