Next Vikinga-connected PRE has been presented to his new person and lovely hands and is going to live out his life in Luxemburg! We will most likely see him in our home for a snip-snip shortly and I will let you know who he is!

All three boys got good workouts today, Donoso was first out and fill of energy so we did piaffe/passage work and practicing flow in the tempis. Then Quinto who is doing his connecting work, and Start got a warmup by brave groom-guy Javi. J got the trot but canter,.. J is a confident rider but Start could break anyones confidence in no time when he makes it impossible to even get a normal canter!     But J handled it very well and did get it in the end. Donoso got his hair done by beauty-department, shampoo, conditioner, hairdryer and new braids after work. He always behaves but was obviously not very amused with all the fuss and looked like this,. no doubt very bored :)
 
And here's my new stand in girlpower-stable-manager DOLLY! Presenting the fierce-rodent-menace number one! In 30 min she had caught 7 little buggers!!

And in the middle of that hunt with stable full of people screaming and fleeing rodents running away from doggy we checked Queen Africa who was confirmed in foal with Donoso from one and only shot - hepp! Vet Jorge and Donoso gets the credit 100%!
 
Then it was time for branding of 2 pretty Vikinga girls and 2 handsome Vikinga boys, we use cold branding with nitrogen. The horses are sedated and the patch where the brand goes is first shaved and then desinfected properly with alcohol.Then then the iron is placed on the located area and it leaves a smooth mark that will grow white hairs. Cold branding is the most harmless way to brand a horse, personally I would not consider any other kind of branding, the cold makes the horses numb and they all stood absolutely still and did not seem bothered.

So the rain has been pouring down and we feel refreshed and rugs are on. I love the seasons even though the summer is my favourite, but the darker colder days are also lovely as you can be cosy with candles and the fireplace.  Hidalgo has passed 5*...
