Savvy xmas!

Spending xmas on one of the big island on the eastcoast of Sweden. They've got a phenomenon here called "fåk", which is more or less a snowstorm but it snows sideways and it comes enormous amounts of snow. Apparently they have closed the roads on the south part of the island now and everywhere you look it's white. Wonder how we're gonna get back home on monday...
My horse-xmas-gift to myself this year is to try and take pressure of training. It's good to be ambitious and it's important to have goals but when you put to much energy on that you tend to miss all the things you learn on the way and all those little things your horse does for you and if you've got a horse like mine, all the things they learn themself. Sometimes I find myself on the wrong track going that way, not very often and I dont get very far until I notice and stop myself but it's not a nice place to be in. If I take the pressure off and I appreciate all the little things the risk off getting wrong will decrease. One way of doing that is that im always trying to see the positive things when we play and remember the things not going so well as something we will have to get back to later but I dont let it "get to me", it's much more fun to play the next time if you have positive memories from last time. One way to do that is to blog about it :) To my horse this year im giving a promise of trying to "be the best me I can be", a very used phrase but I've finally found out how. During these two years we've been playing I've learned alot about who to be for my horse, what to do and how to do it and I'ld like to say that we're doing pretty good. Being the best me is working even more on those things and trust myself, im doing right and im doing good, if I do it even more I'll get even better and I will finally be the best me I can be.

Savvy x-mas!
