The Art of Natural Dressage

Photobucket does not enable embedding pictures in forums anymore, so I have created a flickr account. This is a first test to see whether it works. If it does, I will delete my old picture thread and post new pictures in this thread from now on.

Edit: Photobucket has enabled pictures again. Unfortunately, I have already deleted our picture thread with (then disabled) pictures from 2007-2017. But now they are back and you can find all our old pictures here.

Those are beautiful pictures! Are they all in your summer pasture? I especially like the second one, with Baca and the wildflowers. Thank you for sharing them!

Summy is looking into the distance. And I am looking forward to the summer meeting.

Those are all such lovely pictures! I hope that you and everyone else have a great time at the summer meeting!

oh i love the pictures - just found the new thread now...
the pasture looks amazing - i hope we will be able to visit there when we meet?
big hugs to all of you
looking forward to see you all soon too

Love the pictures!!, looks beautiful.

And that reminds me I have always used photobucket as well. It's annoying because I think our diary will be full of broken links at some point.

Baca pictures from yesterday... an update in his diary is coming soon, but things are really going well

Curcuma muzzle


Baca hated cherries and always spat them out - until I pushed one into his muzzle while he was closing it and so he accidentally bit into it - and suddenly realized that cherries are darn delicious. It's the same thing with Baca again and again, first saying No to everything that is new and then coming to realize that he is loving it.


A hairy little crocodile




This is our village's bus station

Glad to hear he is going well!!! And love the pictures!

Hey Romy, thank you for the photos He is such a cutie so great that everything is going well and so great that you have a possibility to go swimming with the horses that's so cool

Thank you, Marina and Marlene.

Yesterday I started putting a fence around our little forest area.









When we are in this pasture, we hardly go for walks, because the pasture itself is a huge adventure playground. We have streams to jump, raspberry bushes to eat from, fallen branches that to climb through, and endless possiblities to play hide-and-seek with the horses. As the pasture is so wide and has so many corners, it is super easy to spend one-on-one time with a horse while the others are out of sight.

i love the pictures,
what a magical place
did i get to see that part of the pasture or is it new? it this the place with the small stream?

and baca is not the only one that looks more mature...
i love nora and beca's picture it is simply wonderful.

Summy is photogenic as usual


raspberry bushes - sound perfect !!!!
i just want to say - (and this is for you Nora if you still likes mangos - we soon will have lots of them here - but the surrounding is rather small :-) and not as magical
wish i could come visit you there this year....
but i am already planing for next year.

i miss you

On Friday I visited our new pony Jolie.

When we first arrived there, he still was very shy. For me this is a great sign, because his owner said that he hasn't had much contact with people, yet, and this is exactly what I wanted. A horse who has never experienced that people make him do things against his will.


Once he realized that humans can be good scratchers, he loosened up...


This picture shows how tiny he is...


...and the following ones just show how cute he is






He will stay at his current home until December, and although I would love to have him with us right now, it is okay for me as obviously he is in great company.

Oh Romy, now you have a mini too and what a beautiful one I`m already in love with Jolie, such a beauty!
Will you visit him more often till december? Can`t wait to hear about starting to play and interact with him, it`s so exciting.
