Percys första ridpass
/0 Comments/in Calinka, Pepper, Percy/by Ingrid AmadoriEfter alltihop övertalade jag stona att springa lite. Inte särskilt svårt. Det är fler som har energi!
I rode Pepper as well. He had a lot of energy. I thought the best would be to not care to much about him gaiting slowly, trying to canter etc but just continue forward. Probably that made him worse. He jumped around once to much and I fell of. (Still don’t know why as it wasn’t that bad, guess I just got out of balance.) Pepepr headed back to the stable in full speed where Maggan found him and brought him indoors until I came back. I headed of again and this time he was much calmer. I just wonder how to get the energy out of him before I ride him as he don’t play in his pasture. And I don’t have any other possibility where I can let him run free.I guess I know the problem – now I just need a solution… He needs to WORK.
After that the mare got a little encouragement to run a bit. They really enjoyed that!
Hårvård och promenad
/0 Comments/in Mika, Pepper/by Ingrid AmadoriEn promenad i skogen blev det också. Jag valde att inte rida eftersom jag var själv, det var mörkt och jag ännu inte är helt säker på varför han gjorde som han gjorde när min kompis red. Säkerhet är viktigt! Det blev inte så avslappnande rsom jag hade tänkt då Pepper sökte trygghet hos mig, men funderade på att smaka på mig då och då och Mika istället inte alltid var helt lättstyrd. I kombination med avsaknad av stig och mörker var det inte helt lätt att hitta rätt. Vilket vi inte gjorde så promenaden blev kortare än beräknat, bara en halvtimme.
I realized that Peppers tail is getting long. Something has to be done otherwise he probably walk on it and destroys it. The quick fix turned out to be braiding and when I did that I realized that it was not very thick in the end. So I guess I cut it a bit, trying to get it thicker first. The mane also got cared for – re-braiding it. It was so beautiful when the braids came of, in a lot of waves. As soon as the weather is a little warmer I am going to test the show sheens (on mane and tails) that Maggan bought at Gothenburg Horse Show. Just need to give the horses a bath first. Maybe I don’t need to braid anymore then.
We took a walk in the forest as well. I chose not to ride as it was dark, I was alone and I still don’t know why he behaved as he did with my friend. Safety comes first! Not as relaxing as I had dreamed of as Pepper searched for security close to me, but at the same time wanted to play and just chew “a little” every now and then. That combined with Mika that not always is easy to direct, so road and darkness made it a little bit hard. We didn’t really find the way that I had planned and didn’t go as far as expected, just about 30 minutes.
Peppers tisdag
/0 Comments/in Pepper/by Ingrid AmadoriJag tror jag måste gå in mer i den rollen – den har inte behövts på många år med Calinka. Hästar jobbar verkligen på att göra en till bättre människor. Tömkörningen då – han var riktigt duktig! På slutet sökte han sig framåt – neråt i gångart. Ett naturligt stöd utan at jag hade något i handen. Det finns mycket kvar, men detta var en bit och han jobbade bättre än någonsin. Slutorna börjar också sitta och sidförande har jag introducera.
Vore kul att få till en liten filmsnutt…
Today it was Pepper’s day to work. As usual he started our time together trying to nip. I know this is stallion behaviour and that he is a bit bored and that it could be ways much worse. But I still don’t like it. Today I got angry, not angry as some other times when I have disciplined him, but more kind of angry from the inside. And it worked! He is so sensitive about my inside. I know horses are, but the mares are not at all as him. I think it is that he wants a leader that now what it wants, someone that tells how things should be done. And not by threats but rather by the energy that person is showing. (Sounds a little awkward, I know, just don’t have any better way to explain it).
I think need to move more into that role – I haven’t neede that for years with Calinka. Horses really tries to make you a better person. The long reining then? He worked really well and in the end he started to stretch down and forward while gaiting. He keep a nice contact with the bit – even if he left me with basically nothing in my hands. He worked better than ever even if there still is a lot to do. The quarter in starts to work ok and I have begun introducing leg yielding.
It would be fun if I could get it on video…
Pepper riden
/0 Comments/in Pepper/by Ingrid AmadoriNär det var dags för uppsittning snurrade han mer än någonsin omkring uppsittningspallen och verkade stressad. Efter en stund lugnade vi alla ner oss och det gick bra. Han är så känslig den hästen – vilket ofta är en fördel. Ett är säkert – han kommer att vara en mycket bra lärare för mig! Väl i sadeln skrittade vi en väg som Pepper inte tidigare sett och Mariah hade ett grimskaft för att vi skulle ha lite extra koll. Hon släpades med i högt skritt tempo även om jag inte märkte att det gick särskilt fort. Inga problem och lite kul tyckte han det var när det blev en kort stunds terräng gång. På hemväg slappnade han av mycket mer (även om han inte känts spänd innan) och Mariah kunde gå lugnare. Tror han tyckte det var riktigt skönt att ha fått vara ute, även om det bara vart omkring en halvtimme. Och inte visade han några som helst tendenser till att bete sig illa (förutom nafsade som vi konstant jobbar med). Eftersom jag glömde kameran fick det bli en gammal bild.
The mares didn’t come to great me and Mariah as usual when we arrived at the stable. The was eating in an other part of the pasture. On the other hand Pepper was close by and had a positive expression. After that I had played and cuddle a bit in the pasture I brought him indoors and prepared him.
When I was trying to get on his back he was more nervous than ever, circling the mounting block. After a while we all calmed down and I could get on board. He is such a sensitive horse – and I usually find that positive. One thing is for sure – that is going to make him a very good teacher for me. We set of for a road that Pepper hadn’t seen before and Mariah joined us – holding him in a lead rope for extra security. She was nearly dragged along in a fast walk – I didn’t noticed that he walked fast but she did. There was no problems and he liked when he got a little off road. While turning back home he relaxed much more (even if he hadn’t feelt tense before) and Mariah could finally walk in a more comfortable speed. I think he really liked being worked, even if it was just about 30 minutes. And he didn’t show any tendencies of bad behavior (except his nipping that we are working with constantly). As I forgot my camera it’s an old picture.
