Ibland vet jag inte hur jag nâgonsin ska fâ mitt liv att fungera.
Tiredness...
Oh, im tired! I can really feel that i have not been riding that much lately! Today i rode Bilenka and Boogaloo, and ok, Bo is never any problem, he is shaped after me now since im the only one riding, plus that he is a pony.
But Bilenka, is around 170-175cm high, and very heavy in the hand, and today also very stiff, since she has not been worked for a while that much.
They where both nice in general after some work to get them lose.
With Bo it was a bit contra canter, Canter <----> Walk transmissons, and they are starting to work just fine.
Bilenka was sidewalks and tempo changes on the schedule, since she is not that good on any of them.
Walitza was only lunged today, and i dont know what has happened with her, because its almost not possible to let her canter on the lunge anymore, its high bucks, racing and shit like that, but yeah, then its something to work on he..
For the rest not much has happened, yesterday i held some lessons which both went good.
Tonight wont happen much more i think, Joren is in Holland to pick up a new motorcycle that he bought, and i guess i will head for the shower and watch some tv until its sleeping time.
Have a nice evening!
Just another week :)
Last period of time has been nice.
Last weekend my Mother and Sister were here in belgium, visiting us. I had hoped to have a bit more energy but it could have been worse. They got to see a bit of Lier, and also a bit of Antwerp, and in general, our way of living.
I think they found it fun, and it was very nice to have them here!
For the rest, not much has happened, im back to work, but im still tired actually, but it goes ok. Have not been riding almost anything this week, because of tiredness and also bad weather. Its back to winter, AGAIN, and we are all sick of it.
But from next week on i will start to ride again, if the weather allows, because i miss it.
Today my lovely boyfriend made some really tasty food, and i actually dared to try some wine. But it was red, and im not a big fan of it, plus that i have not been drinking for i dont know how long, so i felt a bit ill. So no more wine for me :p Well, im ok with that because i dont feel that i have any need of drinking. Just can be nice sometimes to certain food.
For the rest the evening will be slow, and hopefully cozy, since we are both home for once :)
Have a nice weekend!
Still alive, yep, still!
Okey, now last period of time has been pretty shitty.
Last 1.5 weeks i have been feeling not so good in general, sinus problems, muscular pain, joint pain and so on and so on. But last friday evening, i started having bad pain in my stomach. Felt really blown up, and cramps at the same time. Ignored it, since i have a pretty difficult stomach normally, and went to bed.
The day after, it got worse, and i could not lift my legs without that it hurted extremely, and also in general i felt tired, and a bit weird or how to put it. If i could have chosen i would have stayed in the sofa for the rest of the day, hoping for it to get over. Joren though, decided that we should go to emergency, and i guess that was good, because the same day, i got operated for a inflamated appendix!
They put my hope up by saying that i could normally go home the day after, but since i had to get antibiotics and so on, i had to stay one more day.
Must say that the days in a hospital goes veeeery slow!
On monday i could go home, and here i am!
Im not having that much pain, but my energy is lacking a bit, but it comes graduatly back. Hoping that i will be fully ok on friday when my mother and sister finally is coming to Belgium for the first time!
So, since i came home from the hospital i have taken it a bit slow, and started to clean, i do after all want it to be properly clean here when they come :)
For the rest, i visited Itza yesterday for the first time since friday, and i have missed her. Today i have not been there, have been pretty tired, plus that i needed to go shopping, and clean a bit. But tomorrow im planning to go there and spend some time with her.
Now its time to watch a movie and be slow for the rest of the evening.
Lovely spring!
Right now is really not the best period in my life. My body seems to get worse, more painful. And i get more and more other problems, like the big things inside my nose, wich dont disappear, my throat hurts as hell, and my voice is almost gone, and my eyes are red and itchy... So tomorrow im off to a nose-throat-ear doctor to go down with a camera again, too see how it is in there..
The only thing that keeps me very positive right now is the lovely weather! Since 3 days ago, the spring came here! It is at least 15 degrees, think even up to 20 in the sun. Real lovely! So Itza has been outside a bit during day without blanket, and she just loves it. But you do notice that the quick weather change takes some power from the horses, they are quickly tired and not as willing to work. But it will come, the spring has just knocked them down a bit. They will get back up toghether with the spring flowers and early grass ;)

And btw, Here is the things i bought at the Flanders horse expo!

Im still alive...
So, what's new?
Yesterday me and my boyfriend went to "Flanders horse expo" in gent, and it was nice, but had hoped it had been a bit better organized. It started with dressage for 4 hours, and of course that was what i wanted to see the most, but Joren got pretty bored. So During the dressage we was watching a bit, and then looking around a bit and then a bit watching again, and that was totally fine by me.
After the dressage it was Horseball, and that i think was a bit more interesting in Jorens eyes, a bit more speed and action than the dressage.
We also saw indoor race with 4 horse+wagon. That is something i really love to watch!
The last thing we actually watched was the Reining clinic, with Anky van Grunsven, and i must say that it felt a bit weird to see her in western clothes.
For the rest i found myself a new pair of riding pants and a new Saddleblanket for my horse ;) Was about to buy the yellow one that i aaaaalways want to buy, but amazingly enough i bought a military green one, with Orange edge details! Really nice =)
The only thing is, when im at places like that, i get a bit too caught up in everything, and i forget to eat. So i was suuuperdizzy yesterday and had to drive home from gent in a lot of traffic! Did not make me happy.
Today im home sick! Vomited this morning, but i think it has to do with yesterdays eating habbits, and i also have a really bad cold with painful throat :( So im possitioned in the sofa with a big cup of tea, and a blanket wrapped around me. Hope im feeling a bit better later on, because i do want to ride!!!
For the rest, Itza is in heat/ having her period, and she and Boogieboy are toootally in love! I would soooo like to let them meet, and get a little one, because im sure it would be a pretty perfect pony combo! But now is not the right time as always..
Now im gonna take it a bit more easy and make sure to feel better.
