Today I went Ridding ....
At Last !!!!
One more day and i would have faded into Oblivion I Will Never do that again ! As I said to Augusto ; Weekend Warriors Must Ride ... Although the "Saudade" I went . Last time I rode was on the 4th of the First year of this so called Crisis Year .
Violino looked at me astonished and suspecious . A couple of Carrots and the "Liason" was there .
Of Course I know ...He Knows who I Am as well as I realise he stresses when My Écuyer , Master Franco , is there by our side while training . So he Remembers .
Did the Full Monty and there I was ... As I wished I was Borne . On Horse Back !
Still thinking on Dylan´s invitation to go to the UK and learn more ... Horses and England the Best of both Worlds ...
Or I will meet him in Golega next year and talk him out on the idea of hiring me .
Neverthless ...
I whish I could deserve My horse one day and ride like Master Nuno Rode . But that is something I still drem of .

October the 18th ,The XVII Century Church in Golegã .

This year Golega 2008 was very special for me . First time I attended the Fair with my own horse . Four years ago I had no horse after that ,on the following Year , my horse was an Luso-Arab ,Two years ago I had no Trailer .
Then came 2008 the year I moved My horse originating a series of events starting on meetingmet Rita , The Trailer and Golegã ... We were there for ten days . Ritas Father has a House there and Rita´s Friesan Horses had a new mate this year , My Lusitano . This Picture was taken during an event that took place on Saturday the 15th .
We rode from 10:30 Am until 18:00 with a two hour Break for lunch when i had a chance to put my Lusitano to rest .
Some People say that only Arabians can be put to such an Effort ... Well My Lusitano Managed . Although I must say he was dead tired that night .
