This blog is mainly about my horse life. As a birthday present when I turned 6 yo I wished for, and got, a riding lesson. Have no idea why; none of my parents were into horses. But I was bitten by the bug.
43 years later I am still a horse person, and luckily my husband and daughter are too. Now we are owned by 2 horses and two cats. We live in a woodland area outside Oslo, Norway, where we at wintertime have to fight our way between moose and ski-nitwits.
Welcome to my world!
Simply the best, and knows it too. (Yeah, yeah, I know. I have a totally blind spot here.) Electric Fame, 8 yo sports pony mare after Power Boy. How it started? Click the pic.

The foundation
"Winning the horse's trust and relaxation takes the greatest patience and self-discipline, a lesson that riders can learn only if they are made aware of the necessity of learning it"
Walter Zettl
The work
"One's goal should be to achieve great things playfully" Egon von Neindorff
Riders
"Beginner riders ride what they see in front of them - the head and neck. Intermediate riders ride what's underneath them: the ribcage. Advanced riders ride what's behind them: the hindquarters."
