Wishing everyone a happy horsey 2022! 🌱🐎
This year will see us back in the Byron area. Stay connected for more updates coming soon.
We aim to have a couple of nice, well-educated and safe allround horses for sale later this year as well as having some availability for coaching.
Big love, Louise

~ A little reminder ~
Please be mindful of where you send your children for riding and learning about horses. Try to find the places (i know there’s not that many around) that has professionally trained and educated teachers with safety procedures in place and ofcourse insurance.
Horses demands respect. Horse riding is a very dangerous sport with possible high impact injuries.
Everyone who rides will fall off. It is part of riding.
But an experienced instructor will be able to teach beginners in the safest way possible;
They will teach control and confidence by an understanding of the horse and how and why a horse reacts the way it does.
They will only use horses that are prepared and ready for the work that it means for a horse to meet an unexperienced person.
I feel sad seeing unprofessional people advertise camps and courses. Natural horsemanship is an extra slippery slide because it tends to be used very loosely (anything can go in under the phrase) and sometimes in a way that tries to make horse behaviour human. Horses are horses, not humans and that’s exactly why we love them so much. It does not serve the horse to try and make it human.
Traditional horse knowledge is tried and tested for generations of many hundreds of years and works because we respect and study our horses.
Look into what training & qualification your teachers have, just as you would for other courses or training.
Unprofessional stables and teachers are not only unsafe but also undermines all the work qualified coaches have put in. It actually undermines the development of the whole equestrian industry and i would even go as far as saying it is in some ways, a disrespect towards horses. Such a magnificent animal deserves respect and love.
Horses have always been my best friends and riding is the most fun one can have! I hope for everyone who wishes to be around horses to have a fun and safe journey.

Thanks to good friends we had a lovely visit of a very large and successful trotters stud. Isabella got to practice fun pony trot with her friend! ❤️🐴
This area is a mecka for trot racing in Sweden. A large and profitable sport because of the betting.
The stallion in the last pic is the old star, in his glory he won a total of over 27 million swedish kronor; or nearly 5 million dollars.

Olympic Gold to Team Sweden!!!!
🇸🇪🥇❤️🥳
Showjumping can’t get better than this!!
Soooo happy and proud, this is a big moment and it is extra fun to be here in Sweden for this win.
Louise grew up with Malin as one of her biggest role models and sources of inspiration and also trained and competed against Henrik on the ponies! Peder, well he is such a legend!
Since i was a tiny little child i’ve been watching the best in the world compete and i never get sick of the thrill! Jumping is the best sport ever!!
It’s hard to put into words how much this actually means to me, it’s a moment i’ve been wanting to see for my sport my whole life. These riders have and will continue to inspire me and many more for all time! Hurray!

Greetings from Europe!
A cuddle with handsome boy Little Smithe; not just a pretty face but also a successful showjumper winning a team gold medal in the European championships 2019 for ponies.
We are in Sweden for a while enjoying time with family and friends while also always seeking new horse inspiration and knowledge.
