Is this true? An update? - yes you are right 
Today was a big day for our little Fishermanns Friend, the first jumping skill since a felt eternity and then in the rain. Especially for Fishermanns Friends thin nerves costume this training unit was a big challenge.
After an extensive warm-up, we went to the rain-wet show jumping area. The wind blew the cold rain in my face and let my nose run.
After the heat of the last week it was nice that it was raining again, nevertheless I cursed in that moment, that we have no hall.
When I went into the trot, I imagined how the white coat of the young gelding would probably look after the slaughter.
The thought made me sick already. After the training, there would be a big clean-up on the horse.
After a few laps of more or less nice trot, I switched to the gallop.
The lawn was wet and slippery. You could tell the young horse how annoyed he was that his feet got wet in addition to the work (a reason why he could never become an eventer).
After a two round gallop, we headed for the first obstacle, a low cross jump. On the way to this jump, the young gentleman had to go through a puddle, but that was too much for him. In addition to the annoying wind and the already wet feet now inject even cold water to the belly.
In indignation he tore his front hoof up to show what he thought of the whole situation.
After a short time of excitement, however, it was over again and we could concentrate fully on training again

Incredible! My dad has bought a farm. A small yard with space for 6 horses, large wide pastures, in the middle of nowhere. That means for us and the horses, moving, Moving into a new home, a new place, maybe finally a new home? For a while now I feel inefficient. Homeless, I often have the feeling that it is my home here, but I do not belong here. This move will be a new chanc for me and the horses to finally arrive and breathe in spite of all the stress.
We have finally found a place where everything is just as we need it, wide meadows, rough coasts the wind that sweeps over the land and makes the leaves of the old trees rustle. It's perfect.
My hinterland.

After a long break due to injury, at the end of the season, Fishermanns Friends starts again in the smaller tunnels near our home. He should get used again to the atmosphere at the tournament. We also want to see where we stand and whether we still have to work for the coming season. Hopefully his third season will be more successful.  Trillium Fall Disciplin Show Sydney Horse Trials |

Today I would like to introduce you to a very special young gelding. Paladin KB, a 5 year old Zangersheide gelding. He will start in Eventing and Ridden Showingen. 
He came into my training program, when he was still a stallion. Our beginnings were not exactly what one could call love on the first look Many tears and frustrating workouts later turned the initial "monster" into a real dream pony. After breaking with my boyfriend and also quiting my job as a trainer, I bought Paladin, had him spayed and now I'm looking into a hopefully successful future with my new four-legged companion.
We'll move to new stable in the near future so we can focus completly on our new life together.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Note: This is a new storry, just my sim & my beautiful boy. i'm realy realy proud of this horse, Ihope you like hin, too. Also I tried something new while editing, so if you have some advices to improve my skills tell me I dont stop my Kalkenburg Project but I just want something new. |

 I nervously blow out the air through my nose. My first tournament this season, my first tournament with Paladin. I sincerely hope that the young gelding will be able to cope with all the hustle and bustle as I ride slowly from the riding arena towards the start. Paladin snorts relaxed and begins to chew. Everything's fine so far. I feel the pressure slowly falling off my shoulder. I'm just looking forward to the ride, no matter how it goes. Even if we were last, it was a good experience. I hear the Bell ringing, signaling the start of my lap. I drive Paladin to a fast gallop and all my thoughts are forgotten. I enjoy the wind in my face and the even drum of Paladin's hooves syncronizes with my heartbeat. When we take the first jump, it briefly feels like flying.
My Entrie fir the current Show. I just had a lot of fun making this enry, even is pretty simple. |

Slowly Paladin gets stronger & more powerfull. We also could collect our frist points in eveinting over on the other ec frorum. & get placed in his first shows. This little guy gives me so much everyday. He is so young & just so awesome! Since you may now, Paladin is a gelding, so breeding is technicalie not possible, but when we gelded him, we keep a few of his little guys (if you know what I mean  . They're frozen & save. So we can have on or two Paladn Babys if he gets succsesfull one day.   |
