My first working day after the vacation. Ended work at 16.00 and left for the stable.

Dinio greated me and we cuddled for a while. He looked very alert today. I cleaned out his box and to my surprice he had peed a lot. So the water bucket gave some result. Lovely. Took his temperature, 37.8 Good. Brushed him and discovered some small bruces. Could it be the boots? One was a little bit infected so I have to attend them after our session. No boots today. Went to the indoor arena and Ubbe (a P.R.E-horse rider and trainer) were there, helding a clinic. We started our own session and after a while he said "What a lovely spanish boy you have"! Yes - I answered, isn't he. We continued and after our canter session he (Ubbe) said "What a lovely canter he has. It is very seldom you see such good canter in the breed". Yes - I answered. His canter is excellent. In addition Dinio was very forward today so I took the opportunity to train on half halts, transitions and catching the correct canter. Everything worked today and he felt just lovely. Didn't dare to work him to long so we finished our session after about 45 minutes. Went back to the stable and attended his bruces. Hope this will do, I thought. Dinner was served and Dinio enjoyed everything of it. Since he gets 6 kg of hay in the evening I think he will have to eat for about 3 hours, at least. Sleep well my lovely Spanish boy. I'll see you tomorrow afternoon.

Tina Helen Nilsson Spanien på tråden.Jag följer din blogg och jag är så lycklig för din och Dinios skull.
Jag skall gräva i arkivet för att hitta de bilder jag tog på Dinio för 2 år sedan så att du kan få dem.
Ubbe är bror till Åsa. Jag träffade Åsa senast för en månad sedan, kul att du har lite PRE folk runt er. Minns att Ubbe och hans flickvän OXÅ Åsa deltog på den första träningen som jag organiserade för PRE hästar i Sverige på Elisabeth Lundholms anläggning i Flyinge.
Då var det Jose Ferndez Lineros som jag bjöd in att vägleda de svenska ryttarna på Iberiska hästar. Så happy för din skull Tina.Hälsningar Helen www.caballoscasares.eu

Hej Helen! Världen är liten ibland. Tänk att Du kände till Ubbe och Åsa och att ni har träffats tidigare. Ja, än så länge har jag inte börjat att träna för någon, vill att Dinio skall få komma igen lite först, gå upp i hull och sätta lite mer muskler samt bättra på konditionen. Ubbe kommer hit varannan vecka så kanske jag ska vara med till en början för honom. Ska lyssna lite mer till hans lektioner först bara. Men Dinio mår jättebra - har börjat gå upp lite i vikt och han är pigg och glad. Är så stolt över honom. Han är en riktig stjärnhäst. Förstod att du varit på lite semester och hoppas att du haft det riktigt skönt.
Hoppas att du hittar bilderna - ska bli riktigt roligt att se hur han ser ut i full kondition.
Tusen kramar till Dig från
mig och Dinio

2015 is soon over and a new year is ahead of us. 2015 has been a good year, both for Dinio and me. We have worked and trained better than ever. We have participated in 3 competitions with 2 placings. The plan to start mid-level-competitions during th...

Well, November is here and the days are getting shorter and shorter for every day that passes bye. Soon it is dark when you leave home for work in the mornings and dark when you leave work for home in the evenings. This means that from now Dinio and ...

During autumn 2014 I moved Dinio to a new stable. Here we have better training possibilities and better service, which Dinio needs due to his stomach problems. Gladly I can say that his problems has gon away. Just some few colics during this summer (...

It has been a while since my last entry. The winter has passed and the spring is finally here. For the first time, since Dinio came to me, I have been able to train him during the hole winter. An indoor arena is an fantastic asset, especially up here...
