My Safe Haven

Spring is here, but it’s hard to feel joy with the Corona scare spreading so quickly. It seems like the world is on the verge of collapse. It’s hard for me to avoid the news – I find the virus and the world’s reaction fascinating, in a grim, morbid way. So I read the news,...Read More

An Almost Perfect Day

0 Comment

After a few rainy, super-cold days, the sun was out, the temperatures were nice and the day had the makings of a perfect one. Yesterday’s ride wasn’t very good. I had to come to the stables in the afternoon, because it rained in the morning. The arenas were still muddy and very crowded. Talo was...Read More

Waiting for rain

0 Comment

I know it’s Christmas in many parts of the world, and it’s also cold and snowy in some of those places. Here, thus far, the winter has been mild and dry. We had a week or so of abundant sunshine and around 20-24 degrees Celsius. The nights are pretty cold, in Israeli standards, but other...Read More

There goes the whip again

0 Comment

A while back I decided to start riding without a whip. It worked very well for some time, but then Talo seemed to lose some focus, and I decided to try the whip again. With Talo, I don’t really need to USE the whip. Just holding it while I ride seems to make him understand...Read More

Fuck it, let’s canter!

The September-October holiday period is finally over, thankfully. I hate this time of the year. A month and a half in which most people don’t bother to work, waiting for “after the holidays”. As a small business owner, it drives me insane. Today I woke up feeling kinda shitty. It happens. Drank some coffee and...Read More

Almost the end of summer

0 Comment

Summer is probably the longest season in Israel. Technically, it’s supposed to be fall right now, as we are nearing the end of September. The temperature during the day, however is 30 degrees Celsius. Usually, you can still wear summer clothes up until mid-November, so I am not expecting a change of wardrobe anytime soon....Read More

Dropped the whip

0 Comment

A few weeks ago we had a number of pretty annoying rides. It seemed more mental than physical – Talo just didn’t want to do what I asked for, and either leaned heavily on my hands, ran too fast or both at the same time. I tried many things, but nothing seemed to improve the...Read More

A Perfect Winter Day

0 Comment

Winter in Israel isn’t very long or harsh, usually, but we still get stormy days. Today was one of those days. It’s not very cold, but it’s been raining since the middle of the night. When I got to the stables it was still dark, but only drizzling, so I thought maybe we can actually...Read More

Winter is the best time of the year

0 Comment

Talo thrives during the winter. The temperatures are dropping and he is so happy! Summer is so hard for him, even when he is in his stall with a fan. He really suffers in the Israeli weather, my poor European horse. Not that we get any real winter here. It’s December and the temperatures are...Read More

Those Fucking Stirrups

0 Comment

Yeah, that’s right. One of my dressage banes – stirrup length. I’ve been struggling with stirrup length ever since I came back to riding. When it was school horses, in the beginning, I attributed my discomfort to weak muscles and bad saddles. I’ve always had issues with my right leg, so it was no surprise...Read More
