— The best view comes after the hardest climb.

Aramis’ main exercise right now is mountain climbing. 🧗 We live next to some pretty high mountains, and so much of them are yet to be discovered. 🧐 Which fits perfectly with his rehab program, as he is supposed to walk off-road as much as possible. So @lovgrenjoakim has kindly agreed to bring him along on his daily hikes with Iso, as my schedule is pretty insane right now.

But today, I had the entire day off so I could join them and let them show me the new paths they’ve found. 😍 This view made me feel like we were on top of the world!

Literally wearing @dubarryofireland from head to toe. {gifted} 👒👢

As you may know, Jaquetão changed a lot after his castration two years ago. He got more jumpy, nervous, scared of lots of things, lost body mass and most importantly (no just kidding) he lost all his hair. 😭

As I really didn’t want to geld him, and he was the perfect stallion 98% of the time (he wasn’t nice towards himself the other 2%) this made me soooo sad. My fairytale stallion. 😢

But now, he’s pretty much back to his old “stallion like” self. He still gets “jump scares” sometimes, but overall he’s a very confident guy. His body is getting stronger and more chunky ever day and most importantly (kidding again) his hair has started to come back. 😍

I’m so happy for both him and me. ❤️

My little Lallamis. 💕 The other day I got confirmed what I’ve suspected for quite a bit.

He’s got kissing spine.

It’s not that severe, and he’s not in pain because of it right now, but oh wow I’m grateful that I’ve listened to his signs and haven’t pushed him at all this past year.

When he came home from one month of rehab at @rst_onsala in September (which was great for him 🙏🏼), and I rode him for the first time, my instinct told me that he’s got kissing spine. So since then I’ve been training him like a kissing spine horse, but we didn’t get a diagnose until now.

Many have asked me the past days what signs I got and how to spot it, and honestly, I haven’t got a clear answer. I just “knew”. Aramis has always been a nervous, tense and “hot” horse, but about a year ago it got a *lot* worse. We’re talking leaping straight up in the air with all four feet when pressured kinda worse. So I quit riding him for months, sent him to rehab, and slowly began riding him again in autumn.

He has gotten a lot better, more trusting and relaxed with my new training plan. But I still felt that I needed to do a thorough check up, so a few days ago we had a vet appointment with X-rays, ultrasound and everything. And yeah, the kissing spine was found.

I feel sorry for him, of course, but I’m also really happy that his career as a riding horse has been so slow and soft. I’ve made lots of mistakes, definitely, but he hasn’t been ridden with lots of pain for long periods.

How the future looks, we don’t know yet. We’ve gotten a rehab plan to follow for a few weeks and then there’s another vet visit to see how it goes.

Always listen to your horse guys. 🤍 They will tell you when something’s off, if you really listen. Behavioural problems or “naughtiness” must be taken seriously, horses are so pure and willing. If they don’t do what’s asked of them, it’s because they can’t, don’t understand, or don’t want to. In all of those cases it’s our job to figure out how to make it possible and enjoyable for them. 🌸

My boys in the spring blossoms a few years ago. 🌸🍃 We’ve had really boring weather here lately, but today I came home from work to an amazing sunny spring evening. 😍 Instant energy boost! 🌞

I can’t wait for more stable temperatures (ha ha, who am I kidding, I live on the west coast of Sweden), more forest rides, beach rides... ahh, yes, I am ready for the new season. What about you? 🌿

Happy weekend! For me it’s a work weekend. 💪🏼 But working from home (i.e teaching in my own arena) doesn’t really feel like work, so it’s all good. 💃 And I’m still high from yesterday’s success with my horses. 🥰 Do you have anything nice planned for this weekend?
