Today, our ride with Juliano was prefect. The sun was shining, J was very willing and positive, I was calm and didn't expect much. Maybe that's why our sideways in trot started working out today. No pressure, everything on "Valium" and suddenly it all came together as a rhythmic side pass. We also managed to work on our canter departures. They used to be very sudden. Canter was hard to control and I wouldn't trust Juliano, I would hold on to the string just in case. Today even this changed :) Juliano was simply brilliant.
Juliano is a very dominant and playful little gelding, “Master of Disaster” called by some. His spirit level is very high, always alert, easily bored. He acts like stable royalty both around horses and humans. Though he was gelded at the age of 8 he still thinks he is a stallion. “Crazy ideas and won't take No for an answer” that's his motto.

I have started riding at the age of 12. After a long break from riding and being around horses I was asked to look after Juliano as a favour. After few months I knew he is “the one”.
Lovely Marta! You are very lucky to always seem to have a willing photographer at hand. You have such great photos of you and Juliano!
