The last time was a little bit boring so I didn't knew what to blog. My horses got cough and I had to phone the vet. again. Now they are drinking syrup and I think they are well again. The day as the horses got cough I came down with influenza. But I am also rather well again. Next week the vet. will come again to complete the tetanus shot of SSSól. Two weeks before I started to work after Pat Parelli with Baga. It's very interesting and a lot to learn for us both. It's more a program for humans than for horses :o) Since the day we started I was not riding again. Just working from the ground. I can not say how long time we need but it's possible that I will not ride Baga before our next riding-course in march. It depends on our progress. Silla asked me if I am only riding with western saddle and I have to say: yes. The western saddle gives me more security if Baga is taking over control. But in future I will first ride without saddle and see later which saddle to choose ;o)I found some time to upgrade my website and I created a gallery for real old pictures (starting from 2002 until 2005) of me. The first pictures have been taken with an old non-digital camera. Click here to enter the gallery.The new camera-equipment arrived but if you believe it or not - there was no chance to try it. First I was sick and later the weather was bad and the landscape grey. Baga and SSSól are not easy to photograph because they are always too near in the lense. Tommorrow I have do some cleaning and after it I will visit my parents. Cause is the 64th birthday of my father which was yesterday the 29th. Unfortunately he is still in very bad shape but we enjoy all time we have together.On Sunday I will go on working with Baga, maybe also with SSSól. I take Baga whenever I can to play and play and play. But SSSól only one time a week - if at all. The Natural Horse-Man-Ship could help me a lot in the daily handling of SSSól. Like Pat Parelli would say: "There's no limit to what you can do when your horse becomes a part of you."

Yesterday I checked if my camera is still working. She did but not perfectly. You can take few pictures and then you have to restart. Now I'll calculate how to get a new one. There is a cow day on 07.02. and a marriage on 14.02. where the camera HAVE to work!SSSól got injured on the eyelid during one of her ranking-fights so I had to phone the vet. on Thursday. He came and checked her. Luckily it's nothing serious but I used the opportunity and let the vet. give a tetanus shot to the small red devil. Here you can see her and some of her friends:

Dearest friends,I needed to change my blog-page because the icelandic one was cancelled because of a wrong kennitala. Of course I do not have an own kennitala and blog.is wrote me an email that I am not allowed to keep my old blogpage :o( That's why I start new again! I'll take an english one now that also non-icelandic people are able to post a comment easily.Baga and me went outside for a little walk today and I took my camera with to be able to present you some new pictures. But unfortunately my camera broke down badly and I am afraid that it is totally broken now. Maybe you remember that I need to send it to a workshop 1,5 years ago but it seems as if the shutter is broken again and I am not willing to put so much money in this 5 years old camera again.Into the bargain my car also broke down few days ago. The battery was broken and Jens had first to drive me to work and also bought a new battery. But there is more to it than that! The exhaust is also broken. My Honda Civic now sounds like a Maserati :o) Unfortunately I daily have to fear that it is falling from my car so my car will end in a workshop soon.I think I have not more bad to tell at the moment ;o)The walk with Baga was nice and SSSól also behaved well in the roundpen. I am pleased with them. Now I will check the photo-upload-function of this blog ;o)
