Already late summer

The spring took us quickly to the summer and the summer … it will soon take us further … Now the days are truly getting shorter again. The energetic June and July provided us with twice as much time as usual. All time spend well. All time spend with reflections and mindful moments during harvesting, restoration and training. So grateful for valuable help from family and friends - old and new.

This season has enriched us with craftsmanship, carpentry and wood work. So many milestones, so many achievements, and so many awaiting challenges.

The animals remind us to breathe and let go and to appreciate the moments.

Breathing break in May

On May the 16th we had a successful clinic with Hanna Engström at Østreng. At the same time as the entire Norway prepared for the Constitution day on the 17th, Hanna guided dedicated riders through breathing exercises with their horses. The sun was heating up the riding arena, the horses and the riders the whole day, and made us fully aware of the summer's entrance. Thank you all for your contributions and a wonderful day!
