If you don't have anything fun to do in a Saturday evening, take two Shetland ponies and a friend and drive 180 km to get driving lessons! Sometimes I wonder if one could have other hobbies but... you know... not.
So off we went to Kiuruvesi. Had Paulette with me more as company for Ivanhoe but I drove her too with long-reins. It was good training for her to be away from her summer filly foal Eowyn as she screamed and was a bit worried where her foal has gone. They have been in separate boxes in the stable at night a few weeks and Paulette has of course worked at pony clubs and riding lessons without her foal also but still it was a bit of a shock for her not to have her baby with her.
Ivanhoe was next on line and drove him for Andreas Hesse. It went very very well I think and so I was told :D but he was a bit too much on the bit. Had a normal straight bit now for testing so I think it will be better to drive him with the butterfly still. He is more and more in the right shape an always so forward going that he made a good impression at Andreas too.
Sadly no photos though this time as it was dark and raining! Did not even bother to take the camera with me. Extra exciting as our pony van did not start when we had everything packed and clear to start the journey home! Then after a few tries it finally did and late at 23:00 we where home!
