Today’s lesson was all walk work. And I loved it . Eyvindur was awesome and I did it right a few times and what a sweet feeling. The reason I love the walk work is you can test straightness without the speed and I hope some day I will learn not to over ride everything . When you accomplish forward round straightness rhythm between legs and hands with lightness and shoulders up ( horses). Moving from an uphill working walk to a lengthened frame without losing rhythm straightness or falling down and then back to working walking maintaining it all , WOW, Best feeling in the world . Today is a good day! And he is the best horse ever for me.

Saela was so tiny once. She will easily make 14 hh.

Reykur’s first first time through the free jump chute. A little fun for Sunday!

Feeding grain time. Mostly minerals and salt. To make sure everyone is hopefully getting what they need to grow up into healthy adults. Salt to make sure they keep drinking. You cannot tell but I spent the afternoon trying to get them somewhat clean. This has been a wet and icey winter so far with a lot of mud. I am thankful my winter paddocks are filled with stone dust which stays firm as a footing when wet!

Thursday funday with Vanessa LaVigne, first time for Eyvindur to jump with a rider on his back. And probably the 7 th time over a jump since he came to live in Canada . What can’t this horse do!!! One thing for sure is he never ever disappoints! Love him to the moon and back.

The kids this morning . Before breakfast was served. Saela is always looking over her younger herd mates.

Zoomies...the prequel....

The kids have the zoomies this evening!

Got two Iceys clipped this morning and One of our Tibetan Terriers this aft. This is the second and final clip for Atli and Eyvindur for 2020.
