Keeping busy. My studies are going well and so far I have gotten through all my exams, although I still get performance anxiety.🙈📚💉👩🏼‍⚕️ Riding really helps to keep me grounded.🎈 On Sunday, and I took part in a peace ride called organised by ☮️🕊️🇺🇦✨ Riders from our neighbourhood joined up and rode/walked 10 km where the entry fee will go to a refugee-aid organisation. Emma rode Popgun and I decided to walk, and since we had to get there and back, our total trip ended up being 20,5 km.😅🚶🏼‍♀️🎠💕 Today, Popgun and I trained dressage with on our neighbour’s paddock via . Their three young cats had a wonderful time helping; I think we were the best show they’ve had all week. They were so inspired by our performance that they balanced on the fence, pounced out of the bushes, climbed up the light post, wrestled each other and took full advantage of the Spring sunshine. 🐱🐈😻🐾 Sponsored by and

So today was a big day for my little Ar-Chuckles.🍼💦🙏🏻🦁 Today he rode with a hackamore for (what I think was) the first time.🤩💕

He was very calm and nice but I didn’t really notice any big difference, to be honest, compared to the last time we rode.🏇🏼✨ Although, I guess that is a good thing since that means that he doesn’t hate the hackamore or hate the regular bridle? I don’t know..🤷🏼‍♀️ I think it maybe was a tiny bit harder to turn into the 10 meter circles, but that is about it.😂➰

I often ride bitless with Popgun and (especially with) Shahina and have also ridden Arshaq with a sidepull a couple of times in the past but I don’t think he has tried a hackamore before.🤔💭🏇🏼💨 It’s good for their mouth to vary what sort of bridle one uses and now that Arshaq is riding more often it feels like a good idea to ride bitless at least once a week from now on.😀🔮 And besides, it feels like good practice too!🤓📖

All one can do is ones best, after all, but one can always become better.🏆✨

The grays got to come for a walk with my dad and myself today and I ran around with them a little by hand.🏃🏼‍♀️💨🎠💨🎠💨👨🏻‍🌾

Arshaq.🍼💦🙏🏻🦁✨ Picture from Sunday’s dressage lesson.📸 🏇🏼💨 💎

When I came home yesterday I was much too tired to post but Arshaq and had a very good training session yesterday as well. It was a little windy, which usually gets him excited, but he didn’t seem to notice. So that is a big step forward.🏇🏼🌪 We worked on our dressage homework and my Dad filmed, which is good because it let me see what we were doing right and what I can improve.🤔

Today I have to work on a school assignment so I won’t have time to ride but I will still need to go and do the chores, put them in the walker and cuddle with them a bit.🦄💕

Good for the nerves.😂

What an exciting day!🦄🙏🏻✨🤩🏇🏼💨💕

First, Arshaq and I had a lesson for our dressage trainer Per.🍼🦁 He was a very good little boy today and we even started working on putting together different patterns at both a trot and canter and pretending that we were at a dressage competition.🏇🏼💨🏆💐 It may not have looked perfect all the time but he listened very well and I am so pleased.🏆💕

After, my Mom and I loaded Popgun onto the trailer and drove in to my favorite riding paths in Sweden/the World: the nature reserve in 🎠🏞🙏🏻✨. As a birthday present, my mom has promised that she will drive Poppy and I there 5 times before Christmas, which probably is the best gift an endurance rider could get!🎠🏞 So today I was very excited and eager to go, even though the sun was going down.😂 We were out for almost exactly 20 km in about 2 hours and 20 minutes and we both relished every minute of it.🤩🦄💜✨

The last 6 km took about 1 hour since they were ridden at mostly a walk along with mom and her horse Nipeta.🏇🏼👩🏻💕🎠💁🏼‍♀️💬Poppy was so extremely happy and shocked to see Nipeta today.😱 I bet he thought she had gotten horse-napped or eaten by wolves since she never returned to them when she switched stables.🐺🌕 Or maybe gotten lost in the woods or something.🌿✨🍃😂

Watching as the sun set over the fields.🍼🦁🙏🏻✨🌅

My little Ar-Chuckles was a good baby today while we practiced our dressage moves.💃🏼✨💕🕺🏼

He scared himself a bit once when we were cantering around and a stone shot up and hit a metal pole that made a loud and echoing « cling » sound.📢🗯 That made him spook and buck unexpectedly. So I almost got a free flying lesson but luckily I stayed in the saddle and my dad was there, just in case I did fall off.😂

But other than that, things went very smoothly and we even cantered a little more than usual, which we both thought was very fun!🤩🏇🏼💨✨ He was very proud of himself.👶🏼⭐️

Once the sun had set, a beautiful layer of mist settled over the fields.🧚🏻‍♀️✨ So we just had to finish off our ride by taking a nice walk back and forth next to the fields and take in the mystical beauty of it all.🏇🏼🌫🙏🏻✨🌾🔮

Once we were done, my Dad and I finished up the stable work and then took Popgun and Shahina for a walk under the stars.🌔🌌💫🌟✨ We ended up stopping for a little while so that my Dad could point out some constellations.🔭✨ The ponies didn’t mind our little astronomy lesson since they could focus their attention closer to earth: at the grass.😂🌾🌍🌱✨

The horses have accepted that our priorities sometimes are different.🦄🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s my birthday today so Poppy and I decided to celebrate by going out for a nice long ride in the sunshine.🎠✨💛🎁🎉🍰🎊🎈

We ended up being out for about 2,5 hours and I decided to ride to a place I don’t usually go to, which meant more asphalt but it was nice and exciting anyway.🌿🍂🍁🍄🌾

Once we were back, Shahina and I went for a carefree ba****ck & halter ride around the outdoor arena.🦄✨🙏🏻💕

I wonder what non-equestrians do on their birthdays?😂🎂

Both Arshaq and Popgun got to work on their dressage moves today under a beautiful moon.👩🏼‍🌾🎠💕 🏇🏼✨ 🌓

Popgun was out first.♘✨ He was a little more eager to go than usual but listened well and gradually relaxed more and more. We practiced on some patterns from lower level dressage programs and then continued working on the exercise we focused on during our last dressage lesson with our trainer.📖📚 (I drew it on the 3rd picture.)

We started with quite a few steps of walking and trotting in between each 20 meter loop of canter and then tried to gradually decrease the amount so that we sometimes only had a couple of steps of walking in between the canter.🎠✨ Sometimes we also added a few extra steps of something depending on what felt right.🤔 Poppy had very well so we finished off a little early and then walked until we had ridden exactly 1 hour before I got off and switched horses.👩🏼‍🌾🎠🔜🏇🏼

Since Adam had to stay home and study, my Dad babysat Arshaq and myself during this evenings ride, just in case I fell off on my face.♞✨ (Luckily, that still hasn’t happened yet.)😂 Baby was very well behaved today, although a little suspicious in the beginning.🍼 👁.👁 I think he felt that I was a little nervous since Adam wasn’t there so he was cautiously looking around a little, probably wondering what I was so worried about.👀❔Once I relaxed, he went back to being his cheerful and forward/confident self.

I tried to keep him entertained with as many interesting patterns and changes in speeds as I could. We worked on increasing his walk and gently extending his trot and eventually it was time to canter, which he definitely thought was the most fun! He was practically beaming with pride and doing that thing were they blow out air when they are relaxed and pleased with themselves.🏇🏼💨 When he is relaxed, his canter is like chocolate.😍🍫 It could make anyone smile from ear to ear.🤩🏇🏼💨✨

Popgun says that boys can wear flowers in their manes too!🦄✨🌺💕

Today my little Poppycorn and I went for an over 2 hour long walk on some dirt roads nearby. It was cloudy but the trees were beautiful so we went back and forwards on the parts I liked the most and got to chatting with a nice western rider we met out on the trail.🎠🌿🏞🦔💨🌥

For what started off as a rather gloomy day, things ended up being rather nice.🥕

Arshaq also got out for an hour long walk/graze/trick training session earlier today and Shahina and I went for a 1 hour ba****ck stroll later in the evening.🎠✨

I was feeling a little blue today so Poppy and I just strolled around during our ride in both the arena and outdoors.🦄💜 It was a good way to cheer me up a bit and Poppy was just as happy as always to go out and do something.😂🍿

After, I spent some time grooming until I felt ready to get Arshaq out. Baby was much calmer today than yesterday.🍼🦁 He was less like the nutty pink bird in Donald Duck and more cheerful like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh.🥕✨

I made sure to keep his brain entertained by riding in as many fun patterns as I could think of and by riding actively in all 3 gates. 📖📝 🧠✨ 🏇🏼💨 Adam was there to babysit us, just in case.💁🏻‍♂️💛

The moon was glowing crimson and the stars sparkled so beautifully above use that we decided to cool down by going for a walk outdoors without the bright arena lights.🦁🌓✨🌌

Yesterday we got sweaty.🏇🏼💦

I trained with both Popgun and Arshaq for our dressage trainer Per and my Dad took plenty of pictures (that I can post once he has had the chance to put them over on to the computer).🤠🗯📖📸 Popgun was first out and we focused a lot on improving our transitions, straightening out our shoulder-ins a little, worked on trotting down the center-line and tried out a new exercise which involved doing transitions at specific lines on the ground in order to prepare for canter changes. 🦄✨💎📝 Once Popgun’s session was done, we went for a little walk around the fields to cool down and then took some nice pictures with my father.📸👨🏻‍🌾 After, it was time to get Arshaq ready for our session together.🍼🦁 I knew from the second I started leading Arshaq in from the field that it was going to be an exciting training. 😅 It was windy and he was full of energy so it was sort of like riding a shook up coca-cola bottle.🍾😳 But Per helped us through it and we survived.😂 Afterwards, we went for a walk to cool off and took a couple of pictures as well. We always learn a lot when Per comes.💛

Today it was as sunny 21°C, which is insanely warm for being the 2nd week of autumn.😲🍂☀️🍁🍄🌾 So Poppy and I set out on a trail ride with and with high expectations of getting to enjoy the beautiful weather after a very long week.🌞🦄 And sure enough, it was a beautiful ride surrounded by golden trees and lots of laughs.🍁✨

Sadly the sunny mood was drastically changed on the way home when we had a rather unpleasant encounter with an angry motorist that decided to park his car(in a dangerous place), get out of his vehicle and give us an earful about why he should be allowed to drive as fast as he likes and that we shouldn’t be riding on the road(although we are perfectly within our rights to be there). We weren’t able to get a word in edge-ways while he continued to spout rude comments about the breed of my Arabian horse(🤭?!) for what felt like an eternity and then he left in a hurry just as I started to reply.👻 It has gone almost 4 hours now and I have finally stopped shaking.😣 Sort of. And I was just starting get over this fear of riding on roads.....😖 I think I will stick to the outdoor arena for a few days.

This is what weekends are for!🦁🥕🦄💕🎠✨

Today Arshaq and I went for a lovely walk in the autumn sunlight along with my dad.🍂🐾 We stopped for quick snack breaks along the way and also practiced a few of our tricks.🌱🥕🎪🦁💛

Popgun and I then went for a 2,5 hour ride with and her horse 🎠✨🐎💨🍂 We mostly walked and talked while looking at the colorful autumn leaves but we also trotted a little for fun.🏇🏼💨🍁🍂🌾🍄

It was so fun to have such great company so we were out longer than expected but luckily we got back just before dark.🌄 I was happy that I was wearing my warm thermo pants since it felt like the temperature dropped quite rapidly as the sun went down.🙏🏻❄️

After, my Queen Shahina and I enjoyed a carefree ba****ck ride around first the outdoor arena and then also on a path around the fields.🦄✨🌒🌾
