Magnificent Spartan Briddle I came across in Amsterdam ...
Want one ....This weekend no ridding :(
Rode 2day and Violino was acting suberb on Hand changes ...

 

One more day to go ...
And i wull have , at last , a horses ridding weekend . Will be working on "Spanhish walk" and "Piaffer" .
After Speaking with my master i was told that Violino is improving in both .
Monday i will be back and post some new Pics , I Hope .

 

A friend of a Musician I know died yesterday . He , Like me , Played Bass Guitar .
Before Turning 40 he lost his Batle to Cancer ...
He was someone I think really did a Great Job regarding Portuguese Music .
His Name was " Aguarela" . R.I.P

 

Roman Warrior Statue , Photo taken in the Allard Pierson Museum , Amsterdam...
Taking the crossroad , Ridding towards the next Battle ...
Wondering how the Godess looks today ... Onwards to War we Go ...
Ride without anything , Ride to Achieve the Ultimate Balance reaching for the Chosen one ...

 

Was not ridding today ... Looking forward to Saturday ...
Meanwhile I met a "Statue" , unlike this one It was alive .
Tall and well sculped . With contours ,that not only get imediate attention as well as ,they mark deep within.
A Cat with a Catwalk Walk ...
Moving , Glowing and cunningly asking me questions and making me think . Something , I Guess , Am not been doing lately .
Maybe leading me towards the mistery of the Horsewhisper that reached out and touched me on a very Peculiar way .
Looking foward to my workplace for the first time in years ...
By the Way It Rained today . Actually it poured !!!
In Sunny Portugal again the Rain ...
Maybe it is some sort of Sign to prepare me for the U.K.

No remorse ... No Regret ...
Another Day Another Death ... "J.H."

Cheers

 

Tomorrow i will go to the Portuguese Military Academy where my Écuyer Mestre Franco also teaches .
Thay have over 150 Horses . I am said to say that the Country that as the Best Horse of them all still keeps a lot of Thouroughbreds and Dutch and german Horses ...
Also I am Trying to het in contact with Ugland Lusitanos and Mrs Natalie without sucess ...
If someone reads this , you Lot over in the U.K. , please tell her ...

 

A Photo I Did not upload yesterday but I Believe It shoud be here .
Reminder of the "Firme" Blood that Violino has somewhere on it´s Genes ...

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 .
