The jousting games – the mares pasture
OK, this was before it all started at Saturday – still there were a lot of preparations going on. Tea. |

Percy is getting less and less yellow… |
Even more bay/brown looking…. Hardly no yellow. |
Pepper in February |
Pepper started to shed. |
And is about this light now. Still – he isn’t as extreme as Tea. |
Black Pepper |
Toril’s favorite mare Friendly – the first Rocky that I rode. |
Bunny as 2 years old in USA. |
First time I rode Pepper. Kentucky 2011. |
från USA började. På något sätt kom vi iväg och visade upp oss. Hon sköttes sig som ett proffs och vi kom 5:a av 7 hästar I den första internationella tävlingen för töltande hästar av annan ras än islänning. Jag var mer än nöjd! Aldrig att jag skulle rida på Falsterbo och tänker jag efter var det min första internationella tävling och en av mina första tävlingar överhuvudtaget.
Percy hadn’t been in Sweden for many days when I took this picture | 2011. |
att man inte räcker till, att man inte hinner med. Förvisso har jag inga höga förväntningar på oss, men ibland har det gått väl under vad jag önskat; särskilt när barnen blivit sjuka, det har varit resor med jobbet för någon av oss eller bara allt möjligt annat som har varit tvunget att gå före. Tyvärr har det absolut jobbigaste varit resorna för hästarna till Sverige och Skatteverket. Båda dessa två saker har orsakt enormt stresspåslag, irritation och frustration även om det löst sig i slutet.

Ullekalvs Embla |
Percy & I at Falsterbo 2014 |
birth to my own son David. (My husband wasn’t totally happy while I slept in the car to be able to watch over Percy before her delivery. Luckily I only had to do that one night.) At the end of the year Embla moved to her new owner Linda.

…and that is about were we are today. We have tried so many other things as well, TREC, cross country, jumping, driving, skiing with the horses, pink ride, visitors and some articles in magazines, showing at Östgötahäst… I have a lot to do caring for my family but over the years I have been able to do some “special” things with my horses as well.
Sometimes it has been heavy; to loose Percy’s foal was one such event. It is now and then the feeling of not being enough, that there is a lack of time and engagement. I don’t think that I have high demands on what I want to do with my horses but sometimes my expectations seems to sink like a stone; the kids get sick, my husband travels in work or something else that seems to make it impossible to do anything else than feeding the horses as fast as possible. One of the most hard things has been the tax administration and to get the horses to Sweden. Both things has caused a lot of stress, irritation and frustration even if it all went well in the end.
