Look who's on her way to finally become a riding horse 🥰

If you want to read why I'm so happy with her i'll put it under a cut.

I've had Talisi for 10 years now, she's 12 years old.

She has a handicap, which doesn't bother her at all but needs regular checks and lots of physio therapy/ground work, so riding was never a prioruty when I got her. I just wanted a companion, and she's doing that so well ♥️ i love her with all my heart.

I knew from the beginning that i'd never send her away to be broken in, i wanted to do it 'our way', if at all. She's very cooperative with me, and we have our own understanding, but she's never been an easy horse for other people. A very dominant mare, and also very intelligent, which can be a real challenge.

So i started training her twice, once when she was rising 5 and once when she was 8, but by some coincidence BOTH times, just as I had sat on her for the first time after months of groundwork and working on her musculature , i was diagnosed with cancer.

TWICE.

SO I guess it's no wonder that i've developed a trauma, even if Talisi has ALWAYS been a total saint and an angel and nothing but sweet and eager to learn.

But for the past 4 years, after i'd sorta recovered from surgeries and chemo therapy, I was so scared of getting back on her that i honestly almost vomited the first time I stood on the mounting block beside her.

Talisi even LEANED TOWARDS ME to encourage me, but I just couldn't do it.

So. I present you pictures from the past 3 weeks ♥️

First time - i was so, so shaky and terrified, but by god Talisi stood like a champion and took a treat from my hand, too. At that day I only got on once, but the girl who takes care of her when I'm not around hopped on and I led them to walk a calm little round in the arena. Very very great experience for everybody, Talisi was SO proud of herself, it was so cute!

The second time! It still took me several minutes to gear myself up to put the foot in the stirrup and sit up, but hey! We walked together! My fear is almost gone ♥️

All thanks to the best therapist in the world ♥️

In the meantime I've had Sara ride on her on the lunge line several times, Talisi is doing awesome and we're learning (slowly) what the cues mean. So far she starts to understand yealding to make the circle larger, but, funnily enough, she doesn't yet understand how to walk on without being led yet. Bless her. Just understanding that pressing the heels into her side is asking her to take the first step forward is so puzzling to her, but she's TRYING. I'm immensely proud. Once you got her going she's good, chewing and snorting with her ears forward and a happy face. She trots easily and pretty fluidly, and today she even cantered on cue for a few steps.

Incredible 🥰

We're only 'riding' her for 15-20 Minutes every couple of days, she mainly does groundwork, poles and liberty inbetween. But the amount of stuff that's happened in these few weeks is amazing. It's so fun, and Talisi actually enjoys herself.

Lauren's POV

Just a few pictures from today's training sessions with Vivian, Chloe, Sara and Prince! Chloe was excited about riding Prince all on her own today with Vivian only slightly watching over her from time to time, since she was in the arena with Sara to do some groundwork anyways.

There literally is no love like a girl's love for her first pony!

So Chloe was doing some basic training with Prince, and it went really well! Jane was sooo proud of her young daughter and the pony who was going to teach her everything. Next time they will be doing some small jumping obstacles, and let me tell ya... Chloe is beyond excited for that!

And I of course met Vivian in the arena. I know I said I would be happy just being near her, but we have actually gone out a few times on what I first thought was just friendly outings. Until Vivian kissed me, and told me that she had fallen in love with me. Imagine my surprise, since I didn't expect my feelings returned!

So now I can kiss her out in the open any time I want, which is just amazing! So I of course did that today xD

My next newest creation;

Spotlight Serenade. 4 year old Knabstrupper mare. I have decided to start dealing with mostly Knabstrupper from now on, so that will be my main focus. <3 Happy with how she turned out. I will do a more proper photoshoot of her later and put her on a nice solid black background to truly capture her beauty :) But for now it is 9am and I have been up all night working on her. She is finally finished and I am going to get some sleep for a few hours before I am off to the IRL barn to see my IRL horse (and hopefully ride finally since we finally have not had endless rain-so hopefully the roundpen and arena are dry finally!)
