L.A. Pomeroy said… - You have a good eye, yes it is Triple Crown winnin' Big Red himself, in that mighty, ground eatin' stride, it's the bronze of Secretariat that graces the entrance to the Racing Museum & Hall of Fame in Saratoga NY, where the Amer Horse Publications annual Seminar and Awards were hosted last year (and where I lived for several years, working with a cable TV company, OurTown TV, covering stories about the racetracks there). I still have my 38 rpm album recording of Sec winning the Belmont by 32 lengths, and Lucien Lauren autographed my Secretariat Breyer model. The only thing I havent gotten yet is an autograph by Ron Turcotte, that's still on my collector's to-do list!!

Kine R said… - Hi!
Sorry this really late answer, but I'm not always in mood for converting words in my mind before I write. It's kind of a thing that's easy for me sometimes, and other times it's really hard for me (not like hard to convert/translate, but to make the effort).
I sure hope my horse will be much better this summer. Since my daughter is 3,5 years old now, it's also easier for me to get her a babysitter if her father is doing something else. The other thing is, this summer I have someone to ride with, and that helps a lot (Hannah, on my friend list).
She's almost normal to ride when I ride with other calm horses, but alone.. Well, she's a nightmare *lol*
She doesn't buck (except for one time, last winter. A tiny buck when I used the whip to tell her not to go backwards into the road), but she is very eager to go backwards or just trying to turn. And of course she stress a lot. Sigh. This must sound horrible, but in fact, she's a really nice horse. Just haven't got all the experience. :)
About me going to other countries: YES! It's very common to travel a lot in Europe. We have like all those small countries, so most of it is just some hours away with car!
I can travel to Sweden right now if I want to. Takes me about 2-3 hours with driving. Denmark is about 12 hours driving.
Or I can take the airplane to England. About 2 hours :)
Which countries did you visit last year?

- Hi again!
Sorry I didn't answer right away (we also have some funny time zones between us).
I am a "hobby rider" as we call it in Norway. That means I don't compete or train a certain thing (like dressage, jumping and stuff). I'm just working on getting my horse less stressed (when hacking) and some easy dressage.
Right now, we don't have a saddle that fit good enough, so I am in a long reining process. My new saddle will arrive in about one-two months.
:D

- Hi Laura!
Thank you for kind words. I am trying my best, but sometimes my vocabulary isn't good enough.
Since I got some English spoken friends I found out that it might be cool to write a blog they can read as well.
About the huge machine in the background in my picture: no, we aren't building stuff, just the farmer who owns lots of huge machines. I usually train my horse around these, since I haven't got a training pen yet.
You can tell my horse isn't afraid of huge machines anymore! *lol*

William Shatner to show his reining skills
November 12, 2009
Actor William Shatner has had his share of adventures as Star Trek's Captain James T. Kirk and Boston Legal's Denny Crane. Now he's climbing aboard a reining horse to put it through its paces, and help raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oklahoma.
It shouldn't pose too great a challenge to the well known Hollywood actor and philanthropist.

Show jumping rabbits competing to win "Britain's Most Talented Pet"
LMAO!!!!!! How great is this?????
By Chris Brooke The Mail Online

For the average pet rabbit, the daily routine involves nothing more strenuous than chomping on a carrot.
But life is very different for the Haslam household's six showjumping bunnies.
Under the guidance of twins Mathew and Thomas, they have learned to leap over miniature fences in the back garden.

Eric Lamaze and Hickstead Win the World Cup Qualifier at the Royal
News for yesterday's results:
Toronto, ON – Olympic Champion Eric Lamaze brought his Gold-medal horse Hickstead across the ocean to compete in just one class at The Royal Horse Show this week, and it couldn’t have gone any better than it did tonight.

World No.2 showjumper pulls out of Olympics
Irish showjumper and world ranked number two rider Jessica Kurten has announced that she is not available for Olympic selection.
She told media yesterday that her horse, Quibell, was a bad flyer and conditions in Hong Kong might not suit the horse, who was currently out for possibly six weeks with an injury. Another of Kurten's top horses and a top Olympic hope, Castle Forbes Maike, has recently been sold. And she said that Castle Forbes Libertina had had a busy indoor season and needed a break… Continue

Sorry to hear about this, Wanda. I don't own and horses (though I wish I did) but I can imagine that this is a stressful and uncertain time. I really hope you find a solution!
Actually Kinni I have only had three or four replies to this so any uplifting comments are welcome if they actually work....Thanks for the thought.
No matter what religious path you are on, or if you are trodding several or none, join us for stimulating conversation. This was originally the Pagan Group, so come back on, friends.
WOW! Awesome video!!! The foal jumping is really cute!
It's the winter that's always the hardest in this job. It's not even the cold and the rain and short dark days, it's the tiredness that comes with it. I feel shattered and organising everything so it runs more or less smoothly seems like a grand...
