Myself on Wikki, a Fjord.
It was around 30F/ -1C there, that's why my smile looks kind of frozen!

Today I got to do something really fun: helping in a long-lining training at Little Bit, the place where I volunteer twice a week. Normally I am one of the side walkers that holds on to the (handicapped) rider, but this time I became the rider. You'll notice I'm sitting on a Supracore mat, just a thin suede padded mat with no reigns or stirrups. Quite a different experience and it definitly makes you look at your riders with different eyes: what a work-out!

On our way home we shot these pictures of the river valley along the 'Cow Road'. Gorgeous with all the snow and the sunshine!

Hej Marjan dat staat je goed daar boven op het paard. Prachtige paarden trouwens. Het landschap heeft toch wel een iets weg van Zweden.
