Me and my mare "Tina" (aka Lektra SW2847) once managed to "out-trot" a standardbred who is an ex harnessracer (not a successful one). Tina's always way behind all the warmbloods on the train as long as the horses are walking. She catches up very quickly when it's time to trot. Seems like you had a nice weekend Marion! Here in Sweden, the weather has been awful with a lot of rain, followed by a lot of snow that now is melting to make a lot of ice since it's below zero in the nights. Not to good for trailriding! I work all the time to finish my thesis, so Cider is having his annual holiday in january. But last friday I got a letter that told me that we've been selected for two clinics with the classical dressage trainer Bent Branderup next year, one in march and one in october. That really got me motivated to work even harder to be able to start riding again soon! Wow! So even the weather's bad and the horse's resting it feels like this year will be a good one when it comes to horsey activities.
