Söndagsjobb

Pepper was very social and seemed a bit disappointed that he wasn’t worked as well. I asked him for some speed in the pasture instead and tried to make some photos.
The rest of the family finished the stall doors (with some help of a friend) while I worked the horses. Now they just need some paint!
Ankungen blev en svan?
/0 Comments/in Percy/by Ingrid AmadoriMen nu är det detta som står i hagen, en varmt gul chokladfärgad häst. Hade det inte varit för att det fortfarande finns gula tussar kvar skulle jag verkligen undrat vem som bytt ut min häst över natten. Och nej, jag vet inte om den nya färgen är “snyggare”, men helt klart förvånande. Så ankunge till svan vet jag inte om det stämmer helt. Dessutom ser manen plötsligt mycket längre ut! Och ja, sadeln är lång på henne, men den är bomlös och är inte tänkt som långtids sadel.
Det ska bli spännande att se hur hon ser ut när all vinterpäls har försvunnit helt! Jag som trodde att jag bara hade en häst som bytte färg (konstantskimmeln Pepper).
But now there is something totally different in the pasture – a warm chocolate yellowish kind of horse. If it hadn’t been because of the yellow hair that still remains a little bit in different places I really would have wondered who changed my horse during night. I don’t know if the “new” color is prettier or not, but surprising for sure. And the mane has grown as well. And yes, the saddle looks really big, but as it is a treeless it is a little bit different from others and this is a solution just for the moment.
It is going to be interesting to see what she is going to look like when all winter coat is gone.I that thought that I just had one horse that would change color (the roan Pepper).
Alla hästar ridna
/0 Comments/in Calinka, Pepper, Percy/by Ingrid AmadoriMariah and a friend brought Calinka and Percy for a ride. It worked well except that they meet the gigantic tractor and fertilizer more than once…To get some more stimulation Calinka was worked a bit in dressage afterwards. Pepper want on a walk with me on the back and Maggan holding the lead. No problem – except with the surface for a Maggan for a short while. And while we did this my husband and Isac worked with the stall doors and some other stuff while Mika mostly felt sorry for herself.
Percys tredje ridtur
/0 Comments/in Calinka, Percy/by Ingrid AmadoriVi traskade på bra, möjlighen var Percy lite öm i fötterna. Efter ett tag testade jag att be om lite fart och hon svarade glatt på ökningen och töltade ikapp Calinka. När Calinka travade gick det däremot för fort, jag kände hur hon tappade fart och hamnade i någon annan gångart. Bäst att låta bli nu alltså. I övrigt turades vi om att vara först – Percy går gärna om. Vi försökte gå igenom ett litet, litet dike, men det ville inte Percy. Nåja, det var ju minst sagt överkurs så hon slapp denna gång. På hemväg kände jag att Percy tappade gnistan lite så jag hoppade av och ledde henne hem.
Själv är jag väldigt imponerad av Percy – hon känns otroligt stabil med tanke på hur lite riden hon är. Hon lyssnar också bra på mina hjälper. Nu blir det bara till att jobba med gångarterna. I grunden är det bra, men tölten behöver tränas så att den blir korrekt. Och så behöver orken byggas upp lite också.
As it has been so hard to work the horses during the weekends Percy’s third ride turned out to happen a regular weekday evening. Or regular – the stars was glittering and it was WARM. Mariah and Calinka joined us for company. It was the first time I had to get on board without any help, but Percy had no problem with the mounting block. Neither she had any problem to wait until Mariah was on Calinkas back. She didn’t react on the head lamp that Mariah wore – I just had on that wold give a small glimpse of light if we – accidentally – would get separated. Not all horses like head lamps and I thought it was one thing we didn’t have to train on Percy’s third ride. We tried to pass a very small ditch but Percy didn’t want to. This time she got it her way – it was a little to difficult task in my eyes. On the way home she felt tired so I got of and walked home by her side.
Percy walked away in a good move – maybe a little sore in her feet. After a while I asked her to gait and she answer willingly and gaited up to Calinka. When Calinka trotted it turned out to be to fast for Percy and she lost the gait . Guess we have to be careful about that so she don’t get bad habits.
I am very impressed with Percy. She feels much more experienced than she actually is. Now we just need to work with the gait, and to give her the strength to perform it.
