Thunderpants. I have them specially made with no seams in the crotch area for sitting trot..

And Vaseline as a preventative for the sweat rash.

Baroque

So, I don't know exactly where we are staying (I can't remember) but if we are close enough, Michael and I can always give you a ride. We'd be going to the same events I would think. Yeah, I have to say that I am rather disappointed with the way this is set up. WEG at the Horse Park in KY was great...

mine is so talented... he can change his colour to bay [nearly] and play nip nips with his girlfriend...

I'll probably end up driving myself there, but hubby is going to be over there in a couple of weeks time for business meetings so he said he would check around the local shuttle companies while he is in the right area and see what they are doing [if anything]. It's just too far away from here to be ...

Baroque

It's rather disappointing, especially when they said there would be shuttle services. I would have far rather gone to Spain this year and had a decent holiday, but hubby insisted that he wanted to buy me the stressage pass as a Xmas pressie. I'm now wishing I'd put my foot down and said no I want to...

Baroque

Ok so I've been trying to get more information from them regarding how we get to the WEG site, originally they said they were having shuttle buses from the surrounding areas to get all of us Internationals and other visitors without transport to and from the site each day. I checked again last week ...

Baroque

(((hugs)))

I had one of my special girls pts earlier this year. It was time but it was SO HARD...

Baroque

I'm still keen to go to Epona. A trip to Spain hasn't worked timewise for us but next year might be better. It's about a 36 hour flight from NZ on Emirates so very tiring.... For my sins I get to go to WEG this year, I would have rather gone to Spain for more classical tuition but that's life isn't ...

Baroque

I got my numbers too.

Baroque

Does anyone know when the tickets will be emailed out, they say this is happening after "seat allocations" but I can't find any information as to when this will be?

Baroque

Awesome!

Baroque

We've been doing a bit more work lately now it's cooled off a bit, I don't like riding in 30degC heat with 90% humidity! :lol: Here are some photos of a training session with the garrocha, as you can see he has grown up a lot since the previous photos. Dragging the garrocha - no problems, he likes h...

Baroque

Baroque, We will be getting a car so we can help you out too.....and if you go to the Woolery in KY, let me know! I'll go too! I'm not sure where our apartment is, I think it's probably in Asheville but the company office is in Hendersonville so it may well be closer to there if I am lucky. I'd lov...

Baroque

I ordered mine too and have heard absolutely NOTHING. This is going to be a disaster I am afraid. :evil: It's looking a bit that way isn't it?! I've had nothing as well other than the invoice when I paid for the full stressage package. Well I'm coming a looong way to get there so I want to make sur...

Baroque

Has anyone got their WEG dressage tickets yet? I find the WEG website most confusing, I booked the full dressage package last year and got an invoice. The website says you get a confirmation email and a link to download tickets but I haven't got anything other than the invoice. Also does anyone know...

Baroque

The lovely Chisamba sent me an Akerworks voucher so I could buy more toys to turn fluff into stuff!

Thank you so much! It's just what I wanted <3 and I've ordered some goodies - drop spindles this time!

You are very welcome Paula! I hope you like them!

Meet Fable!

Registered name will be Baroque Unicorna.

Her name just seems to suit her and she is a very cheeky young lady already.

I received a lovely chestnut horse and rider ornament from Baroque. Thank you so much" I also received a package of candy from Swiss Colony, compliments of Mrs. J. Holm. I hope that is Baroque, cuz I don't know a Mrs. J. Holm! yep - guilty as charged! :lol: So pleased you like it and keep an e...

Some of you may know that I'm doing the rare breeds thing and breed Arapawa sheep along with my beloved Spanish horses. Thought you may like to see something a bit special. This is Crepe Suzette [by Crunchy] with her beautiful twins Pikelet [ram] and Pancake [ewe] by Bambam. Crepe-Suzette-twins-smal...

Baroque

I think I've found it...

Baroque Unicorna which of course is a female unicorn.

And I'm teetering on calling her Fable as a paddock name because its a bit different!

She is quite cheeky <3

Yes Anne she is by Paseo II, so delighted with how she has turned out.

Baroque

She arrived midday while I was at Equitana last Saturday! The foaling alarm didn't go off and looking at my maiden mare that morning didn't suggest we would have a little one arriving until early this week! :lol: PB260234.jpg PB260291.jpg Still looking at names, hit me with your Spanish name ideas f...

Baroque

Will they have buses or shuttles from places like Asheville etc? Or am I going to need to get a rental car?

Baroque

Awesome! Thanks so much for doing this! Emailed you today.

Baroque

I'd like to do it again this year if someone is organising a kringle. Sorry can't offer any help at this stage due to work and farm taking up most of my "spare" time.

Baroque

So sorry (((hugs)))

I still haven't had anything done with Merlin's hair... but I should get onto it soon so that I have something special from him.

Baroque

Me me me me me! We booked our hotel a few weeks ago as we have business partners in Asheville so hubby will do some business there while I'm watching the dressage. I've just purchased the dressage package, any idea when the opening ceremony tickets will be available? It'd be great to catch up with s...

Baroque

I had Zeus gelded at over 5yo in November after coming back from being collected at the AI facility after all the semen I needed was frozen and it didn't seem particularly fair to keep him as a very frustrated entire for the rest of his life - he had an extremely high libido and his future breeding ...

Baroque

I actually think this is a mare vs gelding/ stallion thing. For better or worse the spanish and Portuguese bred the Iberian mare for breeding and the stallion for riding. Almost without exception I have found the lusitano mares to be so smart it makes for a difficult ride and requires a very sensit...

Baroque

Congratulations and well done! They can be super sensitive horses to ride and some require a whole new skill set from their riders. The hard work you've put in will pay off heaps as you have her trust and get a really good partnership going. Mine aren't so spooky as I try to get them used to all sor...

Baroque

Some of you will have seen bits and pieces of Zeus's ridden progress on FB, but for everyone who hasn't, here are a few pix and an update on his progress. We are doing lots of different things at the moment, I have started riding him with the short garrocha [3m pole] and he's been having a short int...

Baroque

So sorry. ~~jingling~~

Baroque

Thanks KathyK <3

Baroque

A year ago I lost my best horse Merlin after major colic surgery and it felt like the world had ended. :( I struggled through the months not feeling particularly inspired and not having anything to ride [or even wanting to ride]. Eventually I had Zeus collected and frozen for AI in October and then ...

Baroque

So sorry for your loss Kathy (((hugs)))

Baroque

Awesome ideas - thanks everyone!

Baroque

Oh man, Baroque, can't you make it the East Coast? We'd have a DDBB party for you. We have a lot of people who are into fiber arts!! We could have a spin in. I'd love to but it's a business trip with my SO so I have to work around visiting the companies we are dealing with... Look what I just made ...

Baroque

So sorry for your losses and for having such an awful year. It was pretty bad for me too and I was very pleased to see the back of it.

Congratulations on your lovely horses, I hope you have lots of fun working with them!

Baroque

~~jingles~~ for a speedy recovery and no pain!

Baroque

The trip to Spain has now been shelved for a year due to too much on at work, lack of free time and spending far too much on building our new huge implement shed and yards on the farm. I now have a foal cooking and I also have a new "stock horse" to work and train as well :lol: now that Ze...

Baroque

And this one which I love.. stock work.jpg He loves working cattle and has a huge interest in everything going on. I rode him again yesterday and he is such a super ride, I am so pleased I sent him here for training because he is nice and light and responsive to ride, and his manners are impeccable ...

He originally comes from Colorado and has been training horses here in NZ for a few years now.

I haven't got around to asking him what the 2nd girth strap on a Western saddle is for, can anyone enlighten me on the reason for it?

Baroque

He's doing extra well, such a clever chap!

Just about all milk produced in NZ is what you are looking for.

All our cows are grass fed, the milk is pasturised whole milk and it is generally all homogenized which just means the fat particles are broken up throughout the milk. There are many organic herds producing milk like this too.

Baroque

Now doing stock work and is being ridden over poles and tarps and dragging stuff

I had my first ride on him on Monday and he is super light, very responsive to leg and seat and is an absolute joy to work with!

Would love to see photos of what you spin with them.

They are just Fab to use! I had a trial spin with some Merino and will take photos now I have the winding sorted.

Baroque

Baroque, yes I am finding this out early on with my Lusitano filly (her dam was Han/TB and much more sensitive than my full WBs). I actually like a sensitive horse (why I like TBs) as long as they are sensible. That is what my filly's dam was sane but sensible and a pleasure to ride. So I am very m...
