Så er tiden kommet til, at Horse2rider vil ønske alle en rigtig god jul.
Det er et af de få tidspunkter på året, hvor selv dressurfolk stopper lidt op, trækker vejret og hygger sig med deres nærmeste - altså på nær når der lige skal morgen fodres fordi stalden holder fri. Eller når unghestene skal have frisk hø på de frosthårde marker midt på dagen, mens resten af familien sidder og tripper ved frokostbordet. Eller når vandrørene i stalden knirker højlydt af kulde, så de lige skal have en spand varm vand, eller når konkurrencehestens skal have deres daglige træning, FORDI DET SKAL DE BARE, mens resten af familien drikker kold snaps i varme stuer. Eller når der lige skal ordnes bokse midt i det hele, ekstra godt, så hestene også kan have det hyggeligt og rent - det er jo trods alt jul - eller når de sidste sidste-øjebliks-julegave-indkøb lige skal presses ind mellem anden i ovnen og den brune sovs. Jo, julen er en kærkommen tid for dressurfolk...
Rigtig god jul til alle - fra H2R!
Horse2rider ser frem til fortsat at dække masser af dressur og avl i 2017.
Being a Dane and living abroad - bringing along all the Christmas traditions is something that I always enjoy. But I´m sure that most dressage riders and breeders, all over the world, face the same challengers this time around. We really really want to spend a few days of quality time with our family and close friends - however, the horses are most likely still first priority. Right? And only horse people know the feeling of sneaking out during the family dinner, just for five minutes that unfortunately often (always) turns into 45 minutes, to treat the young horses some extra hay "in the field". "Just checking", as we call it. Or the need to "clean and fix" the boxes just that little better on Christmas Day. It is Christmas for good sake. Not to mention the two hours spend training the sports horses during the Grand Family Christmas mid day come together - CAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE DO - add to that the secret feeling of joy turning up late for Christmas dinner, straight out the shower, still with cold cheeks and wet hair. A feeling that only horse people truly understands - and a state of mind that absolutely beats everything!
Merry Christmas to all of you from H2R!
