Mountain goat

My horse has now learned to stand as a mountain goat when I ask her. These pictures are not the best ones since they were taken before this was well established! Now she can stand with her hind feet close up to her front feet - more pictures will come soon!!!!!!!!

This is just one step forward on the way on how to make the horse lay down. She can already stand on her knees, and when she can do that long enough one just put these two exercises together. Go down on knees, ask to step forward with her hind legs, ask her to bend her head to one side (which is a thing we practice when she's in the mouantain goat) - and then you're practically there!

Riding Catherines horse

Hi there folks!

I've not been able to post anything lately because I haven't had internet - now times have changed!!!!! =)=)=)

The other day I was at a friends' place, we can call her Catherine as a pseudonym. It was a really nice stay, we were talking some training methods and stuff like that and I wathced her ride and even I got to ride a bit =)

Here's the video! In this video I'm trying to make a collected trotting departure which succeeded quite good considering our previous efforts where she kind of pulled her head up in the departure and so on. So it is getting better, after the departure she unfortunately pulls her head in behind the vertical line, which is sad, but I do think it is because she tried to avoid the work load hehe :P That'll get better in time and Catherine has really got a good idea on what to work with!

Today I met SUCH A CUTE COW!!!

WOW isn't she CUTE!!! She's three years old! She's of the breed Charolais! you HAVE TO click to enlarge!

Look at the soft soft fur on her head =) (The red on her nose is from the ground)



Yesterday we had a man from the governments' register unit in the car. He was nice, and talked some about what it's like on his meeting in Brussels five times a year, where everyone follows the "Brusselian" dresscode with a gray suit, blue coat and the only various thing a tie! Him and another man from Sweden went with the elevator and in it was already two italian men - DRESSED IN THE SAME WAY! They just looked at each other finding it a bit surrealistic. Usually he sits in his office so he told us that this trip out on the country was one of his first in his duty and that the fresh air would last until 2012 (joking)!
