ONLY VIKTOR DOES THIS!
I mean, yes, its not winter anymore, but hell are the winds still cold outside!
So I guess, have a nice picture of Viktor and his horse Blacky after training... or... in the middle of training?
Idk, he often just jokes around with his mare to build up trust and I guess this is doing the job aswell.
And apparently its every day life with this russian guy to see him topless working with the horses.

R66 Diamond In The Deep Blue arrived today at our barn.
For a while now we have been looking for a suiting stallion to strenghten our quarter horse line.
The search was hard and there were a lot of nice guys around that would have fitted to us,
but non stood out like this young stud!

Dante was breed by Blake Bellanaris for us,
I totally fell in love with his color, a beautiful smokey blue roan.
A color I never thought about getting into my barn.

He is a flashy young stallion with some nice manners, but only if no mares are around. Otherwise you have no chance if you dont have a hard hand to hold that rope or keep him half-way controlled. He sure will be a challenge, but we are up for it because we already love him to bits! He comes with a few nice points to start off his competitor career (+3 in Ranch Versatility, +11 in Reining and +2 Western Pleasure) and will most likely have his main discipline in Reining and additionally compete in Ranch Versatility. This perfectly fits with our recent discipline focus change as we now decided to work with our horses as ranch horses with a focus for Reining.
We got him out in the pasture right after his arrival because he was so nervouse and pumped with energy from the long drive and the fist thing he did was buck and kick his way around the area. Until... he noticed the mares in the neighbouring pasture. Should have probably not left him out on that pasture, but there were no other free ones atm. But hey, makes a nice view on this stallions movements as he paced around on the fenceline to get the mares attention. Sadly without luck, the girls just wanted to chill and eat their grass. Maybe next time, boy!

I am sooo excited to show you this new mare, that just arrived a week ago at our Ranch!
Doll is our new AQH mare with a beautiful dark/chocolate palomino splash coat.
I cant say more Thank you to Red Loosa Ranch that we now own his beautiful horse! <3

Next to our training there is currently not much to tell you. Still though we wanted to show off two horses that came to short lately.

First horse is our magnificent stallion Masky. He currently enjoys his weekend off after he had a hard week of training.
We are thinking about a stud-add for him in the near future as we got some requests for him again, but we'll see after a few more competitions and hopefully sooner or later
his first title (on equus community) before we think about that again!

Second horse: Levina. Our homozygote splash mare had her 4th birthday this month and we are happy to say that she passed her "childhood" with a great result.
Look at this beautiful mare, enjoying her afternoon run right after her last Reining-lesson.
I just adore her and I am so excited for her first offspring with guaranteed splash after she earned some titles!

Splish Splash!
Big Bellies On Tour

We got really hot temperatures at the moment. Usually there was training planned for today, but none of us were really into the right mood nor did we have enough strengh to fight against the burning sun. Even the horses seeked relief in the shadow of the trees, just like we did.

Without doing anything we were exhausted and Viktor suddwendly jumped out of his nap just to smile at us with that well known look we all just waited for! "I know! Lets pack up and take the girls out on a trip!" and by 'the girls' he meant our big bellied broodmares that were standing behind us in the shadows and dozed off. And it was one of the best ideas we could have had at this day!

A while later we arrived at the lake that was close by. Well, 'close by' was an hour foodwalk with four soon-to-be mother mares that seemed to have at least more endurance than we. But it was worth it. Clothes off and jumped into the water. We spent a few hours just splashing around or chilling in the cooling wet. And even the mares really enjoyed the water, a little bellydeep into the water took them some weight and they seemed to have fun splashing around with us too. After a while we all just ended up laying in the shallow waters, enjoying the day off before we headed back home. This time it seemed to go quicker and way easier, probably because we all were half wet and just the slightest wind helped us to cool down on our way.

It was a great day!
