Today, despite the heat, my mare and I had a great training, with nice long canter rounds. I still work on my contact in the saddle, but we’re moving forward with every session.
Looking forward to our next training on Monday.

Yes, we both had a nice, cooling “shower” after the session and some treats (carrots for my horse and a refreshing aperitivo for me) 😁

“Never say never”.
Even if I always admired and loved horses, that affection was buried deep within me, with little hope that one day I will be able to spend time with them, not to mention riding. But this year was special: first a weekend “in the saddle” in Italy at the beginning of this year and just a month ago I started to train regularly at the local stables, with progress so fast that it amazes both me and my instructor. Never say never. One day it may become real.

Very nice #PrideRide on #Zwift today. Lots of fun, nice discussion about what’s better: donuts or pretzels and solid 26 kilometers of ride. What’s better way to celebrate #pride2025 than ride a bike with nice people.

I wasn’t very active here for a while, being busy with managing my small business, but it’s time to dust off my account.

Just a couple of weeks ago I’ve spent a nice weekend in Veneto region in Italy and had a chance to return to horse riding. It was great to be in the saddle again, spend some time with my partner, visit old friends and meet the new ones.

The advantage of the good, old quiet records and good quality audio components: you can listen to music in the middle of the night without waking up your relatives or neighbors and still hear every single instrument.
