Home alone!

Or at least almost, on wednesday afternoon fourteen horses left Jonstorp for Skyrup in the south of Sweden. So the only ones left at home is Tore, Räven, Tamina and me!
I had a nice week- end except for the wind thats been horrible, the door to stable fell off yesterday and today I had to clean the outdoor from about a hundred branches before I could start to ride. The horses have at least been behaving well, even though they have been very fresh in the wind!
In Skyrup things have also been going well. For the young horses its the first time showing outdoors and the first time jumping 1,20. Both Malin and Jenny seems to be very happy with them, the goal this year is to try to qualify them for Falsterbo.
The older ones have also been doing good, Malin said the ring is huge so it must be quite a difference from jumping inside! '
I continiued my clipping mission and now Tore and Räven are looking good and ready for Paris!

Jumping outdoors

Today it was time to jump outdoors for the first time this year so we moved the fences from the indoor to the outdoor ring. Malin jumped Cisco (in the picture) and Uffe who both behaved well and jumped really good! Jenny jumped the five year olds Challe and Olle and they also did really well and even jumped the water without hesitating!
I clipped the last two horses thats jumping in Skyrup next week so now they are all finally done!

Finally spring!

Today I managed to clip another three horses and Jenny did one so now its only two more to go before the whole stable is looking tip top!
All the snow and ice is gone now so we can ride in the outdoor ring and hack out again, so nice!

Clipping day

Today I clipped three horses, Myran, Cisco and Dunder. They all behaved well and are now looking stunning!
In the next couple of weeks we have got a quite busy schedule. It starts next wednesday when eleven horses leave for Skyrup in the south of Sweden. Malin is riding six horses, Jenny is riding our three five year olds plus her own horse Estelle and Rebecca is also bringing her own horse Valencia.
The following week Jenny stays in Skyrup with the young horses while I go to Paris with Tore and Räven.
The week after that Malin is riding six horses at a national show in Dalby, also in the south of Sweden.
Then we move on to Leipzig and the World Cup final with Tore and Räven, very exciting!
After that its time for the first international outdoor show in Mannheim, Germany and then we continue on to the first nations cup show in Linz, Austria. As you can see its gonna be a little bit crazy for a while!

A good week-end in Den Bosch

We had a really good show in Den Bosch, Tore was placed 10th and 7th in two classes and Räven was 6th in his World Cup debut, he jumped an amazing double clear!
Now we have three really good horses Tore, Räven and Actrice that can jump the biggest classes, not bad!
Den Bosch is probably one of the nicest indoorshows, the only downside is the late nights but with only two horses there I had quite a nice week-end.
On my way down to the Netherlands I also had Turmalin (Tores five year old son) with me. I stopped in Germany to show both him and Tornesch in Oldenburg and they both got approved! Turmalin stayded there over the week-end to take part in a stallion show, and everybody loved him! Picked him up on my way back so now he´s back home with us again.
The best thing when I got back home was that allmost all the snow is gone, finally its starting to feel like spring up here as well!

Off to the Netherlands

Tomorrow its time to leave for the Netherlands. The lorry is packed and the horses had a bath. Malin jumped both Räven and Tore today and they both seemed to be in great shape.
I´m driving down to Danmark tomorrow, then resting there over night to continue down to s´Hertogenbosh early on wednesday morning. Sara

I´m back!

Today I was working a full day for the first time this week, finally starting to feel a bit better!
We got about 15 cm of snow yesterday so its white everywere. The horses seem to enjoy it anyway and were happy to play in the snow. In the picture its Tamina enjoying the sun.
In the afternoon I clipped Räven, its only him and Tornesch thats going to s´Hertogenbosh. I leave on tuesday so I still have a couple off days to recover and to organize everything for the trip. Sara
