On 02.05. I made some ground-work with Baga and used the balloons from the week before. It was an interesting experience - also to crush them while Baga was standing beside me.
Later at the same day I went to Stolzenau visiting Gudi and my lovely youngster. Dimma found many friends in her new herd and enjoys her life on the green grass.
Few days later I went to Osterbyholz to take photos at the Euromót. There were approx 100 horses at the breeding-show and I gave my best to get good photos of all them. The horses above are Garún fra Kolneset (from Norway) and Bjartur frá Leirulæk (Iceland). You can have a look at the pictures from the show here. I went home to upload the first pictures on Sunday the 8.5. and made me ready for the business-trip to Vienna + Slovakia.

It was a nice journey and I came back late on Tuesday (picture above: view over Vienna). On Thursday we had a bank holiday (Himmelfahrt) and I worked 12 hours with my pictures on the computer, Friday I was working at work (you know: my main job ;o)
Saturday I drove to Wenden and took photos of the Himmelfahrt Open, same on Sunday. You can find the pictures here.
On Monday and Tuesday I spent some wonderful time with Baga and was very excited how great she listened and acted after many weeks of break (I often said hello to Baga in the last weeks but we can really not talk about "training"). On the spur of the moment I decided to take a vacation from Wednesday this week until Friday in order that I have enough time to edit and upload my pictures of Osterbyholz (13 horses and one sport competition are left) and Wenden (34 competitions are left). My plan is to have everything ready until Monday evening :o)
But just sitting on the computer can also get boring so I wished good weather for yesterday and agreed a date with Patrick because he wanted to get brandnew pictures of his beautiful stallion CS Special Trick. At the moment he is in training at Jörg Pasternak so we drove to Herzberg for the fotoshooting.
Of course it was wonderful weather and everything worked like I planned. Good light in the riding-hall and as the icing on the cake I found some arabian mares with her foals right at the same place. Not forgetting the Alpaca which crossed my path from time to time :o) You can find a link to this wonderful breeding farm named Arabergestüt Hägerhof here. Actually I could say "What a wonderful day." But the day wasn't yet over! Around midday we went on the return trip and decided to say hello to Klaus and Gudi. Further I could not await to see Dimma again.
She is a real beauty in her summer coat and friendly as ever. By the way she is a giant for her age! Now you are really up-to-date reagarding the happenings of my last 4 weeks. So I'll keep up my work immediately. Have a nice Whitsun (Nein, das ist keine neuartige Kampfsportart sondern das englische Wort für Pfingsten!)
