April is lined up! There is no limit to the fantastic connections and activities our horses create for us, I have been invited to go to Israel to hold a course for the PRE riders and the dates and participants are now set up, one competition is lined up with Donoso and Start, visiting clients are booked in and I have some serious selecting to do, all in for April! On top of that it seems like my ladies might join in for the April happenings because our weather turned cold again and with that the mares seem to have decided to keep their foals inside. Next week is fullmoon so I am guessing they will pop little pocorns then?! The Novedosa-Donoso should be first and name has to start with an F. Picara-Donoso (if second) will have a name starting with a G, name suggestions are welcome, both foals will be for sale, I have not enough time for more horses!!!

Babies on their way! Nova is super-due now and I am standing by, wow it's exciting stuff every time! 

Have been trestriding and selecting PREs and presenting this exceptionally classy stud. He is mature, has excellent offspring, extremely talented, sensitive, ambitious and 10 for attutude and movements. No refined schooling but everything started and one of those horses that if you tell him how good he is he will give you his soul and get it all together in whim. I wish he was mine, so lovable and look at all that beauty,.

 


Today I went to pick up this gorgeous PRE born 2009 that I have sold to USA, he is now in for his gelding procedure and cuarantene. Tic says hi!

Wow now I remember why I live in Spain, got my first suntan today! (slightly crayfish as always,.) Glorious sunshine all day long, pastures are now dry and grass is growing love it. Boys are doing regular daily routine workouts and I am setting up competitions in my schedule oh yes I will get there with both Start and Donoso, aiming for april! D has not lost hardly anything after his injury, he is the best. D is now full on controlling the mares from his paddock or stable but as always 100% working and I channel his high energy into his movements to get him even more expressive, he loves this work makes him feel macho-man! Start is on on on. Today he told me we HAD to do extended trot, this is a excersice I practice least as it is very streuous and because he is overflexible. He does amazing transitions from piaffe to passage and I can ride him with an incredible sensitivity, I love this, simple finetuning no strenght needed. But we still work up a sweat both of us because concentrated work and focus makes you work out just as much, just on another more interesting level. Love this work!
Today it was hairday for Quinto and Donoso, they get schampo and conditioner and smell lovely.

Quinto is so lovable! 

   

Queen of Africa is sleeping inside tonight so she can rest properly because she is leaving for her Southafrica home tomorrow. Carry your tresure well across the continents, hasta siempre Loma!
So tomorow standing by for this pick up, newly sold mare for Sweden also embarking so this is also coordinated and also I am standing by for a new arrival sold to USA that will be checking in for his gelding snip-snip procedure. It might seem as all horses I sell get gelded and actually lately this has been the case, the reason being the import protocol is so much easier and less costly for a gelding than for a stallion. And of course I offer my clients my own horse-home and personal care during convalesence as I am more relaxed doing this myself than having to send the horse to some clinic or unpersonal facility. I get rewarded with so much trust from my clients and naturally I feel a great responsability for the horses I have sold in transit. The convalesence that lasts various weeks I want both the horse and the new owner to be comfortable so I do the recovery procedure myself together with my personal groom. 
All for today more tomorrow, ciao!

Me and my collegues have been travelling in many directions of Spain to view and vet horses selected for our program, so far 3 has failed the vetting in the strict selection process. Patience and many kilometres in the air and on land required but at least Madrid is in the centre of Spain so all directions are as close they can possibly be,.
 
 
 
My swedish friend Mia has been here a couple of days and has kindly assisted me with vetting and work, she also tried Start and here she is with Quinto.
 

First Southafrica baby is now born! A black beautiful colt!!

In the middle of a intensive period of work and loving it, creating possibilities, teamworking, selecting horses, connecting to wonderful people and matching them to wonderful horses wow I am so so lucky! So are some special people, I have sold another super beauty dressage PRE to USA! Israel horse is now ready to leave for his new home, catch Eva!   
 
And beautiful kind black giant Galaico SG has left for his new home in Sweden!
 

We have a new groom as Javi is busy with his studies so we welcomed Antonio this week. The pregnant ladies are growing big, one month to go and we'll have a even bigger Vikinga-family. We've had frozen days and I have been defrosting watercups but now we are back in sunshine and more laidback-stable-workouts. 

Quinto's owner has just started taking lessons on his horse, got his new saddle and all is organized and so is Q. He has changed alot and gone from fat and floppy to toned and now he is now almost hot! So much sensitivity and quality in his mind and movements, it's a privilege to work with Q. 

 

Donoso is back in normal training, keep going no limit, he says. He has got a small turnout paddock so he can be outside and play but without getting the energy levels all crazed up. Australia are busy starting up the D-breedingprogram and I have new bookings from USA. You can follow him on his fb page Donoso & Offspring.

Start is ready for GP. Ready and asking for it. I am amplifying the trot and when this is 100% regular - then let's go.

Start's first competition in Sweden 2009. 
 
I am now preparing for a viewing tour with a new business partner and we are selecting a candidate for a very very exciting project! We have already driven 20 hours for vetting one horse but unfortunately he failed so now we have new candidates that we will be studying this weekend, exciting,. I will tell you all about it and you will be able to follow the process on Yeguada Vikinga PRE that is now a facebook business page, under my identity Viktoria Sandberg,.. 
 
No time to list horses on my page recently so pls contact via email if you want to know what is available, thanks y hasta pronto!

Shalom shalom and whopsi a new week and new month again! Today temps dropped and it has been snowing but we are just over 0 so all is wet and muddy, yirk but alright this shall also pass,. 
Galaico is now castrated and has recovered perfectly, he is doing lounging work and is happy in his suite at Vikinga farm. Sweet horse easy to handle and care about, lovable like a typical PRE should be and normally is.
Israel has been visiting this weekend and we went for a hack in the beautiful spanish countryside, chilly but lovely sunshine and we all enjoyed alot! There is nothing like a hack with an iberian horse, stepping light, energetic and super comfortable to sit. 
Here a little more of the PSLusi we have selected for Eva.
