The magical phenomenon that is respect

November 24, 2020November 24, 2020Leave a comment

It's been "forever" since I shared anything here on my blog, but lately my fingers have wanted to write a longer piece of text - and as we all know, longer pieces of text aren't Instagrams strongest side. You see, for a while now I've been asked about my thoughts about respect. Between horse and … Continue reading The magical phenomenon that is respect

Hey! Look at me go! It's been requested for quite some time that I should make a few YouTube videos, and as I also realised I really need to become better at editing videos... Yup, I willingly buckled under pressure. Months ago I asked you what videos you wanted, and the big majority wanted me … Continue reading Video: My WEIRD saddle pad collection

How I grew my Instagram

March 17, 2020Leave a comment

Every Q&A I do, this question pops up. Seeing as my studies today require me to spend seven hours reading a beginner guide to blogging (and a WordPress step-by-step guide), I decided to procrastinate and write this blog (on my WordPress site) instead. Sorry, professor, I have more interesting things to do! Building your social … Continue reading How I grew my Instagram

Okay!

This post is number three, you can read part one and … Continue reading A beginners guide to leather crafting, pt 3

Klesarven photo shoot

March 6, 2019Leave a comment

Reklame/in collaboration with Klesarven! Okay, I've grown more and more accepting of standing in front of the camera alongside of Lillen and our other horses, which is funny because that confidence has grown probably because of Instagram. But being in front of the camera WITHOUT a horse? That was a new experience. Klesarven is a … Continue reading Klesarven photo shoot

A beginners guide to leather crafting

December 20, 2018December 20, 20187 Comments

Hand crafting is popular again! And leather crafting is something that's really fashionable at the moment, and seeing as I post a lot about my leather nooby journey on my Instagram Stories, I do receive a lot of questions. So I figured I'd answer some FAQs - I will not be making any tutorials, but … Continue reading A beginners guide to leather crafting

Almost 12 months apart... swipe to see the photo from last year! ❤️ One thing changed a lot between the two 😂 And what a year it has been. I guess I didn’t even consider living in the middle of a pandemic to be a possible reality for us all; but here we are. We’re doing okay, and I hope everyone else is. I was wondering; what is a feature about yourself that you enjoy? Maybe a physical feature, a skill of yours, a personality trait you are fond of... let me know! 🍃☀️
Today I’m going to spend a good chunk of time cleaning my tack! 🧽 I know that Lillens reins are going to need a good scrub - since Lillens feather flick mud in absolutely every direction, both reins (and his throatlash hahah) is just covered in tiny little spots of dirt 😂🙃 How often do you clean your tack?
Ask questions 💫 Next time you see something you don’t like, or don’t understand, ask a question! I know I say this a lot, but I think we all can tolerate me saying it again 😇
Brego’s diet is going really well! 💪🏻 He’s feeling (and looking) less like an over-stuffed sausage, and has already lost some of his unhealthy fat deposits. I’m super happy about the results we’ve gotten so far, and as he isn’t too heavy anymore I feel confident in taking him out for harder workouts too. Oh! And since the weather has turned faster than he is shedding, we have planned to clip him tomorrow. He is constantly sweating, and he gets both dehydrated, but he also gets rain rot super quick when he has it like this 🙉 I’m giving him a good wash tonight, so our poor clipper doesn’t have to cut through layers of mud, sand and fat. I’m sooo curious to see what’s underneath all his fur! I thought I should film the entire thing and post to YouTube, so you can see how bad I am at clipping 😂
Brego loves the taste of pine needles, my 60kg pulling back was no match for his pine yum adventure 🌲☹️ I kinda like the scent of him eating it though. A nice nature-y soap toothpaste scent.
While scrolling through my phone yesterday, I stumbled upon this old video! 🐴 Figured it wouldn’t be too bad with a repost. Sound on if you want to hear the sound of his hoof beats 🤍
Annonse/ad ⚔️ Of course I have more photos from this little shoot of ours! I talked about the Jerez SKL last time, so let’s dedicate some time to the El Campo! 🥰😍 I know you all think it’s the sexiest saddle out of the two, and I have to agree a tiny bit 🤭🤫 The border tooling makes it look so incredibly exquisite, and it’s a true eye catcher. I remember showing up to a lesson with my English trainer, with Brego, tacked up with the set. Let’s just say we were overwhelmed with “oooh!!”s and “aahhh!!”s and caused a little bit of a commotion 🙉🙈 The saddle is absolutely perfect for working equitation, academic art of riding, other dressage styles - and we use this one a lot on Lillen when we go hacking. 10/10 for comfort, 11/10 for looks! And hey! Pro tip for you all, this saddle comes in a lot of variations; even an extra short model for those short backs. You can choose exactly what colours you want when you order, you can ask for more tooling (or less, if you want a more minimalistic version), conchos, a different seat style - basically, you can build your own dream saddle 😍 The gullet can easily be changed with an Allen wrench (you won’t break a sweat or any nails! I promise, it’s effortless), from size narrow, to size Lillen 🤭😆 Head over to @deuber.und.partner (Europe) or @dp_saddlery (US+) to find retailers and more info on how to order! ❤️ If you have any questions about my particular saddles, feel free to drop a comment (or DM me, if you’re shy! 😁)
Have you seen the old Disney short film “Ferdinand the Bull” from 1938? 🤍 My mom and I have always said that Lillen is like Ferdinand, and I love how others say the same 🥰 He’d love to sit just quietly underneath a cork tree, all day, just smelling the flowers and watching the world. All day, every day 🥺 If you haven’t seen the Oscar winning little movie, you can actually find the full movie with original narration and music on YouTube! It’s less than 8 minutes long and I absolutely love it 😭🥺
