Wonderful work!

Bonnie Tyler - I like her style! She is cool))
And I'm just in love with the name Danciano So poetically

Today Lilly Smith should ride Poppy (read: ES Fleetwater Opposition) for the first time. And as the owner I would watch he doing so. I lot he warm up the horse alone at first and then joined later on.
"Hi!" I called out, when I got inside the new indoor arena.
Lilly just waved back as an answer and then concentrated on Poppy again. Today Poppy seemed pretty frisky, so I could understand her concentration.
I watched her for a bit, before I placed some poles on the ground for Poppy and Lilly to cross. It went on just fine, I think. Poppy danced elegant around in the arena. Sometimes I wonder if she should have been a horse for eventing, so she could show her dressage talent too - she is such a beautiful dancer.


Even if it today only should have been a little walking over poles I changed my mind, because they was so good together.
"Hey, what do you think about a little real jumping?" I yelled to Lilly because she was as fare from me as she could get in here.
She turned Poppy and rode toward me.
"What did you say?" she asked before she made Poppy stand still in front of me.
"I asked you if you would like to try some real jumping on her." I repeaded.
​"I would love that, but only a small one. I don't know her that well yet." She smiled happily.
"Okay." I nodded and went into the tool shed for some poles and such. When I came back and started building a jump for her. Just a little one, as she asked me to.
"Now it's ready." I said and offered her a kind smile.
"Great." At first she lot Poppy sniff to the jump and then she ask the mare to trot. When they had trotted a little, she made the mare canter towards the jump. It was clear that Poppy was pretty frisky today because she tossed her head, when she saw the jump. But Lilly kept her in check all the way to the jump. Shortly after Poppy jumped, landed and went on in canter.
"That was beautiful!" I yelled to her and clapped happily.


Oh, I almost forgot! We have also hired Lilly's twin-brother, Thomas, too. He is good at dressage like his sister, but don't jump at all, which is why I have given him Danny (read: ES Danciano) to ride. It's gonna be nice to not only have girl-power in the stable. He is a little shy, not like his outgoing sister, but he is a nice guy and kind to the horses. He doesn't like to be in pictures either, but Lilly persuaded him to pull himself together and get taken this one picture.



Afterwards I got to Maddy's stall to see, if she was getting better. Bonnie had looked after her, when the vet was here, because I couldn't because I had to help Lilly. Normally I'm the one there, if the vet is coming for more than a routine check. But today I couldn't, so I had to ask Bonnie about it.
"What did the vet say?" I asked her.
"She said that she was halt, probably a strain, but there was no Hoof abscess, crookedness or something like that." She answered while she pat Maddy.
"That's good." I offered her a released smile.
"Yeah, but I will groom her a little, before I get on with ordering fodder."
I nodded and left the stable to make myself some lunch, before I should train groundwork with Sally.

You have great pics and I love the stories you write :)

Daria: Thank you very much! It's a new thing I'm trying. More storytelling and less just skipping over it. It's much more fun

Tiny bump!

Okay, I have done it again. I have bought something without thinking at all. But I needed a new stable for my new pony (who ended up being 'ponies') and the draft, Missy (read: Goldstone's Miss Fashion), so I bought this one.


Aaand it had snowed too!
When I got out this morning with Maia to check on the new pony Elise (read: Montana's Für Elise), the only thing I saw was Maia's bright smile.
"Oh my God! It's snowing!" She yelled happily and clapped energetically.
"It had snowed." I corrected her, but couldn't help smiling "But yes, you're right."
It was like Maia didn't even hear my words, because she just ran to the stables. I ran after her, shaking my head.
I found her standing in front of the lanky mare's stall.
"Wanna help with leading the horses to the pasture?"
Maia nodded energetically and starting putting on Elise's halter.


I took Missy and let her out in the pasture along the length of the road. When she was free, she started running around, rolling in the snow and such.
"You can ride Elise, when you get home from school. I can instruct you.​" I offered to the girl who happily looked at the lanky mare running around with Missy.
"Cool! I will go in and get ready! The faster I'm done, the faster I can ride." She said, before she ran inside to wear her school-clothes.
I just nodded and started preparing the horses' food for the evening. It took some time, before Lilly got out to help me preparing two stalls for the two new ponies.


And then they came. The two stallions I accidentally bought the other day. To make it short I was with Bonnie on a horse show and saw these two stallions for sale. I just couldn't past them. They were so cute. God... I'm so weak, when it comes to ponies. Even more weak than I am with horses.
"So this is Their Golden Boy," Lilly pointed at the Palomino that she lead to the dressage arena. "And the other one is Black n' White Gratitude?" She then pointed at the black boy who was at the end of my robe.
"That's quite right, but I think we should call them something else, because their names are to complicated to call out."
"Yeah," Lilly nodded and scratched her head "What about Boyd and Toby?"
"That sounds good!" I said while I freed the black one. Then the boys ran around at the arena - all frisky. We lad them run a little, before we put them in their stalls and feed them.


Later on when Maia came home we got Elise ready for riding. I had to help her with the legwraps because she wasn't trained in doing that.
"And then turn to the left!" I yelled to Maia and so she did.
"Left here?" She yelled back.
"Yes, there!" I pointed at the 'H', for her to see and then she turned. I clapped at her, because the mare walked all fine, none of the problems we have seen her have, when we watched her previous owner ride her. Maia is a really talented rider.


When Maia was almost done, I went to the stable. In there I found Lilly walking around whistling, while she mucked out Missy's stall. I started playing a little with Missy, while she waited to get back to her stall.
"Hey, what's up?" Lilly said while she wiped sweat of her forehead.
"Not much, I have just instructed Maia and Elise a bit." I looked over to the stallions in their stalls. The seemed calm and o.k. with the situation, which was good.
"I hope she is listening to you." After all she was Lilly's niece, so her well-being was important to her, but it was also important that she behaved.
"Yeah, she was good. She is real talented, you know​."
"Good." She said before she went on mucking out and I went inside to prepare dinner.

I really can't help myself taking pictures of the boys. They are just so handsome! Especially Boyd (read: ES Their Golden Boy), his neck is just so big!


Toby (read: ES Black n' White Gratitude) also got a clip today because he sweated like crazy in his stall. So horseclip here we go.

Today Toby (read: ES Black n' White Gratitude) and Maia was out training. It was the only training I saw today, because I was out to get food for the horses most of the day. Both corn and Hay, which is why it took so long time. I also had Lilly with me, to help me, which is why she couldn't take pictures while I was gone.
Anyhow, when we got home - and Maia got home from school - I help her a little with Toby. He is a really talented, young stallion, but Maia isn't that much of a dressage rider, which is why she needed help. After all I think she did a pretty good job.
(Oh and I figured out how to paint snow too! :D)

Today we got a new friend. A shetlandspony named ES Mr. Piggy. He is 5 y/o and compete in Show Jumping.
I went outside, when I heard the sound of a trailer outside the house. I waved at the driver to make it clear that I was ready to get the pony. He was a suprise for Maia, which is why he got here, when she was at school. I bought him because he looked like the first pony Maia ever rode.
Anyhow, I got the pony at led him to the pasture to meet his new buddies Boyd (read: ES Their Golden Boy) and Toby (ES Black n' White Gratitude).
When I freed him it looked like everything was well, but I kept standing there in case of problems. And yeah... there was problems. I looked away for a second and then I saw Boyd and Toby chaseing the poor pony. I yelled at the two Welshs and told them to leave him alone, but it didn't do anything.
So I got the rope and the halter and got inside the pasture. I yelled for Lilly to help me and soon after she came running. She took the halter and rope, and I kept Boyd and Toby away from Piggy.


Then Lilly led Piggy to the stables. That didn't work out, I thought sadly, I had really hoped that they liked each other, but no. What should I do now? Maybe I could try again tomorrow with only one of the larger ponies at the time. That might work.


I walked into the stable and couldn't help laughing, when I saw Piggy. He couldn't even look over the stall walls and door. He is just so tiny!
"Well," Lilly said and shrugged "What are we going to do?"
"I don't really know. Maybe let him out with only one of the others at the time?" I answered.
"That might work..." Lilly said slowly and patted Piggy.
"I hope so​."

What a small pony. The muzzle just lovely sight.

Nalejn: Well, thank you! :D

This morning it was God damn freezing outside. Yesterday there was just a little snow, but now there are snow all over the place. I woke up the riders, Bonnie and Thomas, to help me getting the horses to the pasture.
"Hey Thomas? You take Danny (read: ES Danciano) and Bonnie? You take Blue (read: ES And They Named Him Bluefoot), then I'll take Poppy (read: ES Fleetwater Opposition) and Sally (read: ES Sinful Soul)."
"Okay Boss." They said in unison while Idina nodded. Great then. Here we go! We got to the stables. All the horses was eager to get out of their stalls. Thomas put on Danny's halter, Bonnie Blue's and I the stallion's.


We went for the stallion pasture.
"This way!" I said while I pointed to the right.
"Kay." They answered and pulled that way with the stallions. I kept being the last one in the row with the mares. Shortly afterwards they freed the stallions. They ran happily around the pasture for a while, together, but then ended up walking around side by side.


Then I let the mares out at their pasture. They didn't ran around, for some reason, they just stood there Poppy with her head on Sally's back. They're such good friends these too.


Then we only needed to get Maddy (read: ES Madelaine) and little Hally (read: ES Donnerhall) outside.
"Do you really think that we should let Hally out?" Bonnie said before she kept talking "I mean... it's practally freezing outside. Maybe he will catch a cold?"
"He will manage." I said to her with a smile. I have had foals for many years now, and a little snow doesn't hurt them.
"Okay. Just asking." Bonnie smiled back to me, before she leaded Maddy and Hally out of the stable.

The other day Maddy (read: ES Madelaine) gave birth to a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L little, black colt. His father is Danny (read: ES Danciano) and I think he looks like him a lot. I don't know if I can bare to sell him when he gets older.
I have already told you guys his name, but I can just say it again: His name is ES Donnerhall.


Elise (read: Montana's Für Elise) also gave birth to a foal yesterday. A little dark-palomino filly with almost too much energy. She ran around almost for hours, when we let her out at the dressage arena. Her name is ES Miss Therese.
Her father is our own ES Their Golden Boy and her mother is, as already said, Montana's Für Elise.


This little colt is shown along with her mother Sally (read: ES Sinful Soul). When he was born the other day, he wasn't actually alive - or so she seemed - but luckily we succeed in rubbing him back to life with a little help from her mother.
His father is one Pure Spirit Horses' stallions. His name is PSH Crixus (and he had actually been mine for some time ago in one of my old stables.) And that makes him a British Warmblood colt. Oh, and his name is ES Velour.


The last foal is also a colt. His name is ES Preach. His mother is, as you can see, Poppy (read: ES Fleetwater Opposition). He is a beautiful, little, British Warmblood, Bay Dun-colored colt. There was hardly any problems, when he was born. Everthing went on nice and easy.
Oh! And his father is another one of Pure Spirit Horses' stallions. This one is named PSH Conquest and let me tell you: He is just lovely! I have always like him and always wanted an offspring of his, and now I got one!

What beautiful foals. Good luck to them in the future. And mums patience and milk.

Okay. I bought this tovero-marking from Raymond and I had to use it right away. It ended up in a Trakehner stallion, named ES Trocadero. Yeah... I needed a Trakehner stallion and here he is.
And sorry for the short, impersonal update, but I had been pretty busy today.

I just do not have time to read, so frequent updates here I really like that you are not only beautiful screenshots, but also interesting stories)))
Preach

I have forgotten to show this girl to you guys. I made her weeks ago, but upgraded the coat here the other day. Which is why I'm only showing her to you now. I have actually forgotten that I had made her. Anyhow, I haven't found her a name yet and I would be happy, if someone in here would help me finding it by suggesting names for her.


Because I'm no slow player (player at sims I mean) I have bred a foal on her with my other Knabstrup Sports Horse as the father, Blue (read: ES And They Named Him Bluefoot). She is a real cutie, but I need a name for her too. Any suggestions?
