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.
