Just a Casual Day...

Today it has been a typical monday at the stable. I started my day with taking V to his work at 7am, always a pleasure to wake up one hour earlier than you actually have to ! 

When i got to the stable i started to ride. Most of the horses were fresh after a relaxed day off yesterday. Mean while i was riding the blacksmith was there to shoe one horse, and just before lunch a transport company picked up one horse who is leaving to America.

Already at this point the day felt really long after a heavy weekend. 

In the afternoon V came and help me with three horses...

Corvette got some serious work to do, and i need to concentrate to work him properly every day to get him more loose and fit !

Iluster did once again a super job and showed a lot of improvement.

With Hilary we just did some basic dressage work, to make her more calm and relaxed.

On Wednesday Im gonna do the training show in Oppglabeek, so tomorrow at least few horses will jump at home.

                                          The Grand Prix course in CSI 3* Bonheiden.

Extra hours needed !

The last few days has been busy enough. 

My cousin and her boyfriend were staying at our place from monday until thursday, so i was busy with showing them around here and at the same time tacking care of all the horses. 

I also had been promising my friend to take care of her horses at home from thursday until sunday when she is away in Geesteren for a show. So at the moment i have ten horses alone at two different stables.

In the weekend Im not going to a show, but most likely there is a show on tuesday for most of the horses. On sunday Im gonna go and look the Grand Prix in CSI 3* Bonheiden where my boyfriend is jumping. He already did some good results there, yesterday he was fifth in the 140cm speed class and today he did a nice clear round in the ranking class and ended up 11th. 

So i can be a proud girlfriend !! 

Here is some pictures from the week !

Lazy Sunday 

Normally on sundays i don´t work the horses, either they go for a hack or just for few hours in the field. But since my boyfriend also had a show today and he was gonna be away the whole day i decided to ride them who did not do a show yesturday.

The ones who were with on the show got to keep a well earned day-off and spend it on the field. 

My plan for next week is still a bit open since my cousin and her boyfriend are coming to visit us for few days, but normally there will be a show in the end of the week. 

I hope you all have a nice sunday evening,

Schedule from this week

A busy day with the horses !

Today we had a training show in Koningsbosch so it was an early wakeup today. We left from the stables at 8.30 and all the morning duties at the stable had to be done before that.

As planned,  i took today with me three young horses. 

First to go was one of my favorite horses, a 6 yo gelding by Larino. He did a good job in the ring and was clear. He always wants to do his best! 

Next one to go was a 7yo mare, she also did a nice clear round and i was again satisfied. There is always something you can do better, but i have not been riding her too long so we already have a good start.

Last one but not the least one to go was one of my boyfriends grandmothers own breedings, a 6yo gelding by Erco. Illuster suprised me with beeing super brave on only his fourth course ever. We got one unlucky mistake on fence number five. I still need to get to know him a bit better so i can ride more relaxed.

After getting home there was still three horses waiting to get ridden. 

Long day, now im gonna take a warm relaxing bath and enjoy the rest of the evening with my loved ones... :)!
