Anette texted me 3 hours ago to say that Arwen had just foaled! I’ve been on the phone ever since: a huge thanks to skype for making it possible to be in touch for a long time without risking financial ruin!
Although none of us expected Arwen to foal in day time and absolutely not in […]
Someone is getting ready for delivery… 10½ months right now so it could be just about any day!
Seems like Junior is leaning to the side…
But whenever he decides to pop out, there will be milk waiting for it!
Arwen cutting the lawn at the Eden office…
…with a belly that is growing sideways!
The latest changes is that Arwen & Sahara was now buddies and do everything together again.
Even drinking from the same water bowl…
As much as I love to ride, I also love to see the joy on the horses when they are let lose in an open terrain (more precisely, my brother’s garden!).
With Sahara being as dominant as she is, she’ll want Arwen to follow cue, and so a lot of her efforts concentrate on getting her […]
I’m always talking about heading into the bush but rarely show any pictures, so I thought I would rectify that this time and introduce you to the beautiful Zinder trails! First up is the trail to the village of Kasheni - a favourite of Sahara’s!

So I am one of those rare people who get to bring my own horses to work! With the rainy season in full bloom now, there is so much grass growing - and what better solution to cut the lawn but to bring over two very eager grass-loving horses?
Lol, that picture almost looks like Sweden! […]
Weekends for me mean an obligatory horse back ride in to the Nigerien bush!
Last week, my sister and I had one of our greatest rides ever, and how fortunate then that I decided to bring the camera!
Riding out of Zinder only takes a moment (10 minutes)
Having crossed the main road, most of the buildings between […]
The garden is starting to get green right now; at least the part the part that is protected from the horses!
Every morning when I come out, the girls are waiting for me, eagerly expecting their fair share of green (weeds)!
And who can say no to a sweetheart like Arwen when she’s looking like this?
It takes […]
Being sick after the 4 days at the field station, we brought the horses over to Josef & Renate’s garden, where rumors had it that the green grass had started to grow.
The horses were thrilled and wasted no seconds throwing themselves on the Nigerien grass buffet table!

Last night, we finally had another good rain, the first in several weeks. Since the heavy showers in May, we’ve only had dust storms with insignificant drops of water but nothing to stimulate any growth of greenness.
As you all know, I am eager for the rainy season to commence and so are the horses, who […]
