Narah, our gelding and a sound jumper, "retired" 2009

Did you know that horses have two ways to reproduce, the scientific method and then the supernatural reproduction; "they"just come to us" . I have been the victim of the latter one.
Not that I would not like horses, but the rest of the family just encourage them "to come to us."

So far I have encountered four (4 !) permanent supernatural reproductions and several short term ones, when horses come and go. Yes, the family hobby has turned to be a bit more serious.

Well, since year 2000 I have learned to be a top noch stable master and horse whisper. I do not ride, but take good care of them physically and mentally... still learning more.

Pictures below represents my very non-professional (but highly artistic and emotional) view on horses their behaviour.

Golden Ambre, a.k.a. "Amis", a mar pony and Saara (proud). Amis was sold 2006.
