An autumnal walk

There are no big news I could tell you. But last weekend we celebrated the wedding of Bille and Matze. Here is one picture of the beautiful bride.
Otherwise nothing exciting happend because I was only working (11 hours each day) and didn't had much time for Baga. Everytime if I planned to drive to Klaus and Gudrun I had to cancel this because of less free time.
But today I went riding with Baga to enjoy the beautiful autumn weather. I love the time if the trees are changing their colors. Last time as I were riding in the country I was missing my camera to collect all these beauty autumn colors but today I was more clever! Some pictures were taken in the saddle and some outside.






After the great walk outside I put Baga on the riding ground to give her the possibility to roll (welter) in the mud. After it she seemed to be very satisfied. Same like me!

Hen night, autumn and cutting

Last Saturday I went riding through the forest with Baga. We got lost but it was funny to find the way back. We both love riding in the forest. Luckily we have much of it.
In the evening we were invited to a hen night of my friend Bille. The slogan of the day was "pirates" so the most of us were dressed up like pirates. The bride was very confused as we suddenly stood in her living room and actually she was sick with a cold but some cups of sparkling wine made the world much more brighter for her :o)
Later she had to manage a trail-ride with the arabian horse Haska which was dressed up like a boat. Then she had to find the hidden treasure.

What a fun we had! The rest of the evening we went bowling and drunk a lot :o)

Nevertheless I had no problem with getting up early the next morning because I knew about the newborn foal at the Seven Gate Ranch which I planned to visit on Sunday. After some cups of coffee I hit the road and behind the highway I found myself in a beautiful landscape in beginning autum. I don't know why but since few weeks I really desire the autumn to come. I think I'm getting old and the summer was so busy that I need a break now (one of the reasons why I am sitting on my computer now instead of driving to a cutting competition). Long story short: I got out of my car and took some pictures of the landscape I always see if I drive to Stolzenau. It's not only the home of my friends Klaus and Gudrun, it's also the future home of Dimma ;o) The little "Quicky" who got born few days ago will be the buddy of Dimma in future.

They also had some cows on the ranch and due to the fact that I had to leave Baga at home I had the chance to take some new cutting photos!!!

The upper picture was taken with the camera of my dad and a wide-angle lense. I was sitting on a pick-up in the middle of the riding ground and the cow was only few meters away.
