I'm here again!

Oh it has been a while AGAIN since last text but have been busy and un-inspired to write :D Well since last time, of course, a lot has happened. We got two soooo lovely foals they couldn't be cuter! Look:

May I present:

Caradhras Ax and Nenya Ax

You find their pedigree etc. at our website.


Then of course we finally have built the marathon obsticles we got the material from Svarvars Trävaruhandel but have not been able to test them yet.

And then we went on a Match Show for all breeds and Eowyn Ax won the foal class and was chosen Best In Show II

  

After that we got a package from Sweden from my sponsors Mias Ridsport and Fällfors frisergård! Mias Ridsport makes saddle pads for driving harness in all sizes and colors, will take better photo of them later but here one:

 

And I also bought an anatomic breastplate from Fällfors frisergård (www.selar.se where you also can buy Mias pads). The breastplate is made by Ideal harness and is the first one I found in leather. I had Zilco which I was very pleased with otherwise but did not like the material, I'm too oldfashioned and prefer leather... This one is more curved and a bit wider than Zilco and the attachment to traces is lower. First impression after a few drives: positive. It has quick release/quick hitch to the traces as the harness has in tugs so I can tell you, hitching to carrige couldn't be faster!

Yesterday our stable was checked by the Finnish Equestrian Federation, so our stable Stall Ax continues as a "Hobbystable" (Harrastetalli) accepted by their qualifications and also as a special feature: as Quality-stable (Laatutalli) of which there is only 18 other stables in Finland of, of their 350 member stables. To be a Quality stable some special things is expected related to safety, horse care and custom service.

That was what has been happening!
