From Foal to Four 💜🐴 #horses #nature #farmlife #equestrian #fjordhorse

In this video, I share two simple tips to release tension and calm down - to get your horse to do more of what you want, perform better, and provide a better experience for both horse and rider. 🐴☀️ The horse is often aware of your emotional state long before you are. Whether you like it or not. The horse is a herd animal and a flight animal, and this ability has helped the horse as a species to survive. Typical situations where we are tense without even realizing it are when we are loading a horse onto a trailer, driving a young horse alone with a cart for the first time, participating in training or competitions away, or maybe even at home with an audience? It is exciting to participate in competitions, and sometimes nerves come up a little, and sometimes a lot. Often, this leads to the horse behaving differently than we hope, expect, or have trained for. This behavior often stems from our own tension that the horse picks up on and reacts to. How can we navigate our way in relation to this? In a calmer state of mind, it's easier to communicate with the horse. It usually leads to better results. #norwegianfjord #dressageshow #equestrian #horstr

Each year, mares visit Birkelid Tullen, our own top Norwegian Fjordhorse breeding stallion. One of them is the stunning Soltausa. When she foaled a grey colt, I bought him when he was just one hour old. Soltausa and her colt, Gråtullen, came to our farm when he was ten days old. He has lived on our farm here with his father and many other horses. His childhood has been carefully planned to ensure he becomes a healthy and happy horse. A horse with a well-developed horse language, confident in his tasks. Everything has been thought out and arranged so that Gråtullen can develop a healthy psyche and physique and be a good horse for us for many years to come. I am very fond of my little grey dun horse. Hope you enjoy our journey with the ups and downs. You are welcome to ask questions below! 💜🐴

Hey nostr, did you know that feeding horses from troughs can lead to dental issues, muscle strain, and even respiratory problems? 🐴💨 Horses should graze with their heads low, just like in the wild. 🌿 Keep their meals grounded! ❤️

Everyone wants to be seen – horses and humans alike! 🐴💖 Just like us, horses crave safety, comfort, and a sense of belonging. They want to be appreciated for who they are. Everyone has something special to offer—and that goes for horses too! ✨ It’s not about doing everything, but about noticing and appreciating the good in those around us. Let’s be mindful of the impact we have! Anyway, make a great day!

Hello nostr! #introductions I’m Henriette and I live in Norway. We run a farm with a stable and a riding school. We have 30 horses and a top-ranked Fjord horse breeding stallion. I’m a teacher in equine studies as well as a riding instructor trained at the Norwegian Equestrian School. Trainer 2 certification in show jumping and dressage from the Norwegian Equestrian Federation and certified Trainer 1 in driving. Twice county champion in show jumping, trained and competed horses up to Prix St. Georg level in dressage. I have competed with the national team in both single and pair driving. My apprenticeship as a rider was at Los Alamos Dressage Center in NJ. I love horses! From gentling them to be quiet and soft, to their first carriage or ride undersaddle, and beyond. The hope is to give horses a solid calm start, and then a safe journey in life. I hope to share my experiences with you and contribute value to you. I’ll be posting my content on nostr going forward!
