Genetics is quite wearying...

...and here's how to illustrate that!






But Ingolf does look nice in pictures too...

...when his face is hidden in the mane ;)

Yes, that's my foot...


The pictures were taken April 15 2008

Old school or new school?

There are those who claim that a horse shouldn't be too soft end flexed at the poll during a sliding stop. In my opinion that was the case in the 1990's and today that has changed, just like fashion changes over the years I guess. Watch these pictures:

Mallorca Western Festival 2006

The release of the horses on the island!!!

Due to the fact that Lingeling has some troubles with insects and allergies they are now released on an island and here are some pictures where they after two weeks stay are getting released on the entire area along with the other two horses, sheep and Red Angus cattle that roam the island. The other two, in this case GIANT, horses are around 20 years old and one of them is a former trotting horse and the stout one is a native North Swedish Horse

My horses got there on this "flatboat" or barge or what you may call it in english


Here's me and my miniatures with the sea and mainland in the background


Before the release:




Nice and easy:

Equine dentistry???

Some of you might not know that there actually exists equine dentists? Now you know! Today me and my 3-year-old horsie Moneypenny (yes she's a 007-babe and yes that's spelled without a space cause we don't like "space-writing" here in Sweden!!!) went to the best dentist in the world, well, at least in Sweden as many folks claim =) Despite his awesome craftmanship he is also a very nice and humble person to be around and that's also an important aspect when leaving my dearest horse's life in his hands! (well it's not that hazardous really)

Do remember that the pictures are "clickable"!

Now Moneypenny is three years and two months old, and it was time for her first teeth-examination! After injecting a sedative substance it was time to start.

This is her sedated and all, leaning her head on a head stand, do you think she looks happy? Hmm I doubt that, maybe tired if anything at that moment:


Here is Moneypenny wearing a mouth speculum


Here you can see the red arrow pointing at a little wound due to the sharp upper tooth which the blue arrow points out, this will be scraped down with a rasp. The other spots/particles in the mouth are remainders of grass:


This is her right side:

The equine dentist saw that the first milk-teeth (also called temporary-teeth, baby-teeth etc) of the upper premolars had been released as supposed to, but he would have to pull out the second premolar milk-teeth by hand because they wouldn't let go fully by themselves. To show what I'm talking about I found a picture on the internet. The first three pairs of teeth are called PREMOLARS (upper and lower) and the last three pairs of teeth are called MOLARS (upper and lower). I've made a red arrow pointing at the teeth that already had dropped and a blue arrow pointing at the ones we had to pull out (yes the same procedure on both sides of the upper cheek)


Here you can see the dentist gripping one tooth, looks kind of brutal in my opinion but she's in safe hands!


And here it is!!! It somewhat reminds me of the teeth I occasionally found in the feeding area where the dairy cows ate when working at the dairy-farm. The tooth should have been shed some time ago and because of that it was partially rotten!!!


Unfortunately I forgot the teeth which I wanted to save but I called the dentist and he was willing to keep them for me until next time I see him! THANKS MATE!!!

And here I am posing to the camera when smelling on one tooth, well I must say that I've smelled worse in school like guts and stomachs and stuff like that! So I seem quite happy anyway haha. Due to the fact that ALL pictures on the internet get stolen and manipulated in photoshop to be used in pornographic purposes I naturally had to edit in my major glasses to protect my integrity, well you know it's a freaky world we live in nowadays, you can't trust NO ONE! If you didn't know that already you do now! Call me paranoid or whatever but as y'all know I'm not willing to give one single opportunity for stalkers to track me down and sneak around outside my house hehehe!!!



I'm actually wearing my infamous genuine 1970's Christian Dior glasses on my head!!! They used to belong to my mum =)

By the way, I also edited out my equine dentist in one photo so neither him nor me will be hunted down by creapy low-lives sneaking around our houses late at night!

The Watusi bull

Here are some pictures of a bull named Lurch which has the largest horn circumference (92.25 cm) in the world according to the Guinnes Book of World Records:







Lurch's homepage where you can find more pictures! It's got to be HEAVY carrying those horns! According to Wikipedia:

"Ankole-Watusi cattle are a breed of cattle native to Africa /.../ They have very large, distinctive horns similar to a Texas Longhorn. The animals' large horns are honeycombed with blood vessels, and are used to thermo-regulate in hot temperatures. Blood moving through the horns is cooled by moving air, and then flows back into the body and lowers the animal's body temperature."

I got the inspiration from this blog PiRANOiAS

Sound of horse hooves

Here's a little something, just listen to that hard sound of hooves against the nice reining foundation!
