I was watching a movie in the bar the other night and left Oslo in my room. I had a bottle of Melatonin sleeping pills in the room and when I came back Oslo had eaten half the bottle!!! I had to phone my mom and get her to call the vet and ask what to do. […]
My day started like any other typical morning all Tullstorp. I was busy cleaning the feed bins waiting for Jan to finish riding one of the horses so I could use the saddle on Biggles. Melanie had been walking Briar and then she came running into the barn with him yelling at me to get on him! She […]
We have had really hot weather then, out of nowhere, we have a crashing thunder storm with heavy, heavy rain. The two barn managers had left with Jan to meet one of the stallion owners and the rest of us were all done for the night. The rain was so heavy though it flooded the […]
It has been really HOT here the past few days. I was reading on the deck on my lunch break and now I am bronzed/red on only one side as I didn’t even think of the sun while reading so now I am two toned. We found a lake 15 min away from Tullstrop. It’s […]
Watching the Kyra clinic was fantastic. She got on one of Jan’s Stallions and I couldn’t believe how she used her seat and legs. She has so much power, it is truly inspiring to watch her make everything look so effortless. All the riders that were here for the clinic were very nice. We had a very […]

After 12 hours of travelling and sitting in airports, I finally made it back to Tullstorp. Let’s just say it is a far cry from the Greek sun here – it’s cold and rainy. Good thing I am from Vancouver and used to it! (The pictures are from when I first arrived before I left […]
It was a 5:30 am start to my Journey to Athens and a 3 hour plane ride of watching movies and listening to music… waiting patiently to arrive to the glorious sunshine and warmth of the beach and the sand on my feet. This trip to London and Athens has meant a lot to me […]
I had quite the arrival in Sweden. I met my Dad In London and flew with him to Copenhagen. Then we dragged my bags down to the train station and caught the train into Sweden a 40 min journey. I dragged my 2 huge bags off the train and down the escalators, then my dad got […]
