Holland

Here you see Diamate, I took these pictures last summer, a Welsh foal. On the photos she’s approximatley one month old. I figured out to introduce the big ball and let her figure it out! So she kicked the ball and after a while it rolled into a little pond in the field. But that was no problem at all after a few ‘lessons’ from me, she had so much trust in me, she walked after me through the water!  With my other pony I do Parelli so I thought this would be a verry good start for her to get more confident in strange things but also in people. As you can guess, Diamante is more sturdy than the other foals at the stables and loves being with people. Last week she had an injury in her hoof, we were sort of glad she was injured, because the other foals would not let there feet picked up jet. Diamante thinks it’s no problem, it’s just life, haha. She is fully recoverd by the way! Hope you Enjoy the photos!

Thanks to Parelli I’ve found out there is more then just get your horse out of the paddock and ride! These moments, like above, are the moments that I enjoy the most, just let the horse be the horse!

Greetings from Holland!
