Jumping

The training is going well lately! We've jumped 40 cm, and that's at least a start! At 60 cm we can start competing, and that's the plan at the end of this summer. Competing at 60 cm will only get him experience, but he needs lots of that before we can compete at a higher level!

Lesson

Dragon and I took a lesson! He had lots of energy and acted a little crazy to begin with, but afterwards, he was ver good. He's getting stronger muscles and getting more acceptance of the bit!
On the next lesson we'll jump again!

Pictures

Yesterday I rode Dragon outside. He had lots of energy and couldn’t concentrate at all! Every new sound and every new thing he could see was way too interesting, but that’s how it is with young horses until they get used too it, but at least he had fun!

These are pictures of Dragon grazing!

Louise and Dragon!

Today we went for a ride together with Kirsten and her lazy pony Louise! Louise is a 17 years old haflinger and Kirsten rides her in the weekends and in holidays. We didn't bother putting on the saddles today, and I think the horses appreciated not having to wear them in the super hot weather!

Riding with Kirsten wasn't really the plan today. At first I made plans with some other friends at the stables, but 5 minutes before we were leaving they decided it was to risky to bring a young horse along with them because one of the horses had too much energy, and the girl riding that horse was afraid to fall of.. Dissapointing, but riding with Kirsten is much more fun anyways!

This is a picture from Bratsberg. The horses are tied up outside the stables while we're grooming them.

Spring

I haven't been writing for a long time, because I've been really busy preparing for exams and taking care of Dragon. Earlier I told you that I was moving Dragon to Bratsberg. He seems to like the new stables and he's getting along great with all the other horses!
The training is going well to. He's getting stronger and at practise yesterday, we jumped!

We've been at Bratsberg for over 3 weeks now, and in that short time all the snow has melted and spring has finally arrived in Norway too! The sky is blue and the sun is shining, and I actually got a sunburn yesterday! I put sun lotion on Dragons nose yesterday, but i forgot to put some on my own shoulders! I'll remember today! But im off to the stables!

Have a nice day, and use sun lotion!

Bestfriends

I have a bunny, and his name is Rocky. Sometimes I bring him to the stables, and him and Dragon are real good friends. It's nice to watch how carefull Dragon is around the little guy and how sweet they are when they share their food like brothers.

I think they will be friends for a long time!
