Yay, went hacking with Elli today! It was a bit windy and rainy and Elli was kinda charged up (she'd had the day off yesterday) so she kept stopping to stare at invisible things, but otherwise it was quite enjoyable. We even cantered a little, and getting her to slow down wasn't easy! She has much more energy while hacking than she does in the ( Read more... )

's been a while since I last posted about horsy stuff.

Today's lesson actually went pretty well, all things considered. (All things being OMG SO FUCKING ILLEGALLY COLD and that I hadn't eaten anything the whole day.) I rode a nice, large-ish mare, Ruanda.

Mandi on klipattu, luojan kiitos. Sillä on niin naurettavan pitkä karva jopa kesäisin, rehellisesti sanottuna se hikoilee kesällä enemmän kuin talvella. Talvella en joutunut pesemään sitä kertaakaan. Eikä se ole edes vanha, 13-vuotias, joten en tajua tuota karvajuttua... Olkoon.

This is the first thing I've drawn in months, and it sorta shows.

I had a nightmare (there's a sort of a pun...) where Mandi was injured. I was at the stables, can't remember what I was doing. At the end of the day I went to show Mandi to someone, and when I opened the stall door she was covered in blood and her left eye looked like bloody pulp. And then someone from the staff said they had had to operate on her ( Read more... )

Ahihi, kiva kun selittelen täällä ihan täpinöissäni Jaakolle jotain heppajuttuja. Hitusen absurdia jaaritella jotain lyhenteitä ja jalostusjuttuja ihmiselle, joka a) ei kiinnostu b) ei hyödy asiasta mitään ja c) ei kuitenkaan tajua. Koska auttaa paljon jos sanon, että vkk on voikko. Sama jos joku selittäisi minulle jotain WOW-juttuja. "Aa joo. Just ( Read more... )
