…from Norway, 21 years old. Equestrian, horse nerd and professional horse rider.

Age is not a limit unless you make it one. I’ve been blogging for nine years and I’m not afraid to take you with me on my journey.

This picture is weird 😂😱 Surely Brego is smaller than Lillen, with his 158cm/15.3hh(ish), but COME ON 😂 And how how how did Diego standing at 175cm/17.1hh(ish) manage to look like an absolute giant? I know perspective is playing a role here but my brain is not cooperating 😂🙄 Camera go home. You drunk 🍻 . #hest #häst #horse #cheval #cavallo #equine #horsesofinstagram #instahorse #geldingsofinstagram #norway #norwegian #shire #shirehorse #drafthorse #dressagehorse #draughthorse #equinephotography #nikon #lillentheshire #natureshots #horten #vestfold #bestofequines #stallnova

I was looking through old pictures when I realized how much we managed to progress Lillen's right lead canter last winter! 😱😍 Lillen is such a large and heavy horse, and it can be very hard to motivate him. With smaller horses you set them up for success by giving them the right bend or exercise before asking for the difficult canter. With Lillen... You could try all you want, but he would choose his left lead canter no matter what we did. If we made it difficult to choose the left... Well then he got mad because we were making it so hard for him to please us! 🙄😠 He also chose left only when lunging, when out cantering/galloping out on hacks, and even out on his own in the field. The top picture is a little over a year old, and it was his very first right lead canter EVER under rider! 🎉🙌🏻 It was unbalanced and horrible to sit (which you can see 😂). Flash forward 9 months - and look at us go! After he understood that canter is more than left lead, we can set him up for both and he transitions like most other horses 😅 . #hest #häst #horse #cheval #cavallo #equine #horsesofinstagram #instahorse #geldingsofinstagram #norway #norwegian #shire #shirehorse #drafthorse #dressagehorse #draughthorse #equinephotography #nikon #lillentheshire #natureshots #horten #vestfold #bestofequines #stallnova

My sofa ❤️ We are often asked how it feels to sit on him in canter. If you can get past the struggle of being flexible and strong enough at the same time, it feels like sitting in a small boat driving through laaaarge and slow waves. You go "wooooaaaahhhhh" before the wave comes to a halt and smacks you in the face (aka when he lands his stride) and then a new wave comes. Since his canter is so large, the difference in speed from his walk or trot is also quite the experience. Add a very sensitive horse, who stops cantering if you don't follow his stride - and you have yourself so much of a challenge you barely get to enjoy it through the hard work 😂 I love this picture by @serenataphotography so much - I look at it and think that Lillen looks small since my leg goes "all the way down", but then I also realize I am sitting very low on him and that I have his wither by my chest 😅 Oh well! . #hest #häst #horse #cheval #cavallo #equine #horsesofinstagram #instahorse #geldingsofinstagram #norway #norwegian #shire #shirehorse #drafthorse #dressagehorse #draughthorse #equinephotography #nikon #lillentheshire #natureshots #horten #vestfold #bestofequines #stallnova

I'm not the one to believe in miracles, but sometimes something similar do happen. Our cat went missing 3 months ago and just recently came home 💛🐱 Skinny, bruised, full of ticks and scars, and extremely happy to see us 💛 Kiss your pets a little everyday, you never know when it might be the last! This photo is by the AMAZING @serenataphotography 😍❤️ . #hest #häst #horse #cheval #cavallo #equine #horsesofinstagram #instahorse #geldingsofinstagram #norway #norwegian #shire #shirehorse #drafthorse #dressagehorse #draughthorse #equinephotography #nikon #lillentheshire #natureshots #horten #vestfold #bestofequines #stallnova

Good morning beautiful ❤️ Photo by the talented @serenataphotography ❤️ . #hest #häst #horse #cheval #cavallo #equine #horsesofinstagram #instahorse #geldingsofinstagram #norway #norwegian #shire #shirehorse #drafthorse #dressagehorse #draughthorse #equinephotography #nikon #lillentheshire #natureshots #horten #vestfold #bestofequines #stallnova

Lillen and the other horses are safely back in Norway - carefully cared for by @stall.nova ❤️ I am on adventure in Visby, Sweden together with @naicheethesamoyed - and soon to be joined by @matildebrandt and @nordicespanola 😁 We are here because of the medieval festival here. If you are here too, don't hesitate to stop and say hello if you see us! It's going to be exciting but I already can't wait to go home and work with Brego, for some reason 😂 . #hest #häst #horse #cheval #cavallo #equine #horsesofinstagram #instahorse #geldingsofinstagram #norway #norwegian #shire #shirehorse #drafthorse #dressagehorse #draughthorse #equinephotography #nikon #lillentheshire #natureshots #horten #vestfold #bestofequines #stallnova

"All these people... for me? 😱" Today @stall.nova hosted a clinic/course on sport massage for horses. 7 hours of theory and practice (and lunch!) and lots of trying out techniques on different horses with different issues. Exciting day! . #hest #häst #horse #cheval #cavallo #equine #horsesofinstagram #instahorse #geldingsofinstagram #norway #norwegian #shire #shirehorse #drafthorse #dressagehorse #draughthorse #equinephotography #nikon #lillentheshire #natureshots #horten #vestfold #bestofequines #stallnova

Lillen is feeling a lot better after his hoof abscess. It still isn't over just yet, but this morning he ran out of his box because he didn't want fly cream on his nose and he even considered walking over me and Brego who was in the way 😂 He also trots and canter outdoor again, and he is using his extra energy to cunningly stop and eat leaves off of trees rathe than to follow the herd wherever we are going. His "CAN'T TOUCH ME LALALALLALA NOT STRONG ENOUGH HAHAHAH"-attitude is back, which is a good thing I guess 😂 Now he just needs to heal up completely so we can actually get all that energy properly out of him so that we can walk from one place to another without having a discussion about politeness 😂 . #hest #häst #horse #cheval #cavallo #equine #horsesofinstagram #instahorse #geldingsofinstagram #norway #norwegian #shire #shirehorse #drafthorse #dressagehorse #draughthorse #equinephotography #nikon #lillentheshire #natureshots #horten #vestfold #bestofequines #stallnova
