Lunging and Groundwork

Today began with some lunging instructed by me, performed by Kismet and Nikolette. Kismet came to us after the old owner couldn't keep him anymore, and as we have bred him we were only happy to take him back. Right now we are schooling him, so he can get a small rider at some point. He is a good boy, but has a lot of energy.

And as you can see on this picture, he might have too much energy - today at least xD He just ran and ran around and around for a while, before Nikolette got him cooled down enough to let him loose.

Which she did. He started bucking and kicking for a while, and then he was able to trot nicely again. He ran and bucked for quite a while though, as he can't run much in the pasture at the moment, as it's quite slippery from the ice and snow, so he really seemed to need a good galop!

When he has used the excess energy Nikolette was able to bring him back into the lunge, and give him some more schooling. After that I left Niko to her own devices, and left the indoor arena to go get another horse who needed training.

This is baby Cisco. He has just been taken from his mother at 7 months old, and brought into one of the too male pastures along with young Captain and the experienced and much older Rico. He seems to really have taken to Captain - who is roughly 1.5 years older than he is. And while Cisco has taken to Captain, Captain has really taken to Rico, whom he leans against if he gets unsure of anything.

When I called all three came running towards me, and I was able to snap this pretty, snowy picture! I am really adoring Cisco's colour against both his new blanket and the snow. He is a lovely boy!

And so I brought him directly to the arena. Nikolette was walking around with Kismet in short leadrope for a few minutes before she left the arena to Cisco and I.

Pulling off his blanket I did some light groundwork with him. Mostly moving forward and backwards by light pressure. He did a very good job he did!

Then I let him loose in the arena for a while. He enjoyed stretching his legs a lot, and switched between canter and galop time and time again. He is a lovely little lad, and I snapped a few pretty pictures!

He seemed slightly spooked though when Calypso entered the arena, and I had to speak softly to him to get him back on the lead, so I could put the blanket on him again and then lead him to the pasture.

He was able to shake of the anxiety fairly quickly though, so I am sure that with training he will end up not reacting to that at all!

Alright, I'll say it: Jack Harkness and the Doctor's relationship is possibly the most fleshed out/complicated dynamic in Doctor Who and that is INCLUDING the master/doctor relationship. Seriously, think about it:

the fact that when they meet jack is presented as sleazy con man and the doctor makes him brave- makes him good

but that they are both willing to die for rose as long as she is safe

and then she comes back and dooms them both to live (even though jack has already died for her and the doctor WILL die for her)

(ninerosejack is canon and you cannot convince me otherwise)

but then the doctor sees jack as immortal as someone he COULD spend the rest of his life with

and instead of embracing it like you'd think he would because he is so wrecked by people leaving him/being left by him the doctor RUNS bc the Doctor is so scared of jack of what he means of what he is

jack ends up abandoned in dalek dust goes back in time to find the doctor suffers a hundred years alone/being tortured but STILL WAITS

(screw amy being the girl who waited or rory being the boy who waited- Jack Harkness is the boy who waited and he did it FIRST)

Jack finds out that he was abandoned. that the man that he loves HATES the sight of him. that the doctor would rather have a genocidal murderer than have him

and so Jack gets the hell out of dodge to go to a man who DOES love him

and don't get me wrong Jack loves Ianto and Jack DOES remember Ianto until he dies as the Face of Boe don't forget that (protecting Novice Hame from the virus as he couldn't Ianto

BUT AFTER EVERYTHING THE DOCTOR HAS DONE TO JACK JACK STILL LOVES THEM

Jack still considers five billion years cursed to never die to be BETTER than the alternative: dying a young time-agent-turned-con-man

Jack has more reason than any other companion save maybe Amy to hate the Doctor & yet spends 20 years in jail to rescue Thirteen still LOVES HER

AND AFTER FIVE BILLION YEARS HE ORGANIZES THAT FIRST MEETING ON SATELLITE FIVE HE ORGANIZES 9/ROSE'S FIRST DATE

jack harkness is a living ghost a reminder of the doctor's failures a physical fixed point and yet he still loves the girl who cursed him and the time lord that turned him into the kind of person that would give his dying breaths to protect the last of humanity in a dying city and tell the doctor that he is not alone

because fuck it, YANA was a warning but also a reminder a final gift

jack had been there all along, a ghost an echo a PROMISE

there is no more human character than jack harkness

[captain-jayne]

how do you explain to people that never watched doctor who that this is the biggest slut in the universe and was actually pregnant 8 times

[ionlylikemycat]

don’t know why it took me until now to realize

when jack dies, when the face of boe dies, he doesn’t just get to see the doctor one last time

he gets to see martha

the doctor says he’s been alive for Billions of years now, how long has it been since he’s seen the face of someone who Knew Him? who Loved Him?

martha jones, voice of a nightingale, and she comes back to him. she’s here, beautiful, and warm, and breathing and for one final moment

he’s with his friends. his family. with people who have loved him across time and space

and then his breath runs out and his life leaves the universe and he is finally, finally, allowed to rest

THE BOYS

Just a few pictures of our warmbloods, who are very happy to get their blankets off, even if it was just for a few hours. They definitely enjoyed the sunny day!

(And yes, we have many greys lol xD)

[irl-loading-screens]

The Boeing astronauts are still stranded in space btw

How much do you want to bet that the ‘ancient songs’ that the Face of Boe was telepathically singing to the cat nuns were less along the lines of beautiful, thought-provoking ballads and more along the lines of Britney Spears’s ‘Toxic’? Also, do you reckon he had some sort of end-of-life crisis and tried to mentally flirt with the nuns? I mean, he’s still Jack Harkness at the end of the day, and if Jack’s gonna go down, he’s gonna go down flirting with anybody he sees.

[therabbitofrassilon]

if captain jack harkness was on the cover of a beauty magazine would he be the face of vogue

[casasupernovas]

the doctor flirting with martha while jack is actively dying in the background is making me wheeze

[bvmbl3b0x]

diversity wins!!! the giant million year old face who died was bisexual!!!!
