Compassion and Money Don’t Mix

What is wrong with people? Allowing horses to compete after they’ve undergone surgery to silence the nerve system so that they cannot feel pain? What the hell, seriously?

Soccer Training! 13th September 2017

Emilie is still dealing with back pain so we find other ways to exercise than riding. One of her favourite games is the yoga ball — it’s an endless, bouncing treat machine!

Feets and Cuddles! 1st September 2017

Emilie is usually cool-headed but there is one thing that used to reduce her to a sweating, shaking wreck: The dreaded hoofpick. We’ve been training, patiently, for two months now, and with the help of our brave barefoot trimmer, Kimmie, cleaning feet is no longer a highly traumatic experience. I don’t know what caused this […]

Agility at Pitt Stop! 21st August 2017

Yesterday we drove down to spectate at Pitt Stop’s first agility meet. It was awesome! The weather was being extremely Danish, sunshine alternating with heavy showers, and the light was not friendly to my camera — but all the same, I captured some moments in time that are worth sharing. If only my camera had not […]

Pretty Lady! 13th August 2017

Emilie is still a very pretty horse. Even when she’s being silly about her feet that are badly in need of a trim. We’re pushing her on the subject these days — need to be ready and willing for the farrier next week. Once she’s no longer lame we get started on balancing work because […]

Pony Sez 33: Forward motion! 13th August 2017

Another Batch of Horse Funnies 30th July 2017

People keep sending me funny pictures of horses. I keep posting them. Somehow, this works. Most of these have made the rounds — but if you happen to know who made them, let me know, please, so I can give proper credits.

Pony Sez 32: The older a rider … 28th July 2017

Emilie spooked today and bam! off I went. Happy to confirm that gravity is still working as intended. Hit the fence. The fence is okay.

Emilie is a Very Beautiful Lady 21st July 2017

Louise Jæger and Karoline Ragnar did another photoshoot of Emilie today. And, like two years ago, they neglected to tell me first — so this was quite the pleasant surprise! I’m amazed at how beautiful that horse is.

Photograph Madness! 20th July 2017

Every horse person knows that person who takes great pictures. In this case, Louise Jäger took her fancy camera out for a spin, and these are the best picks of the crop!
