At the end of October I took Amber (SEVCH Rekaylahn Amber) and Fleur (SEVCH IM Fleur de Cap) to one of the wild boar enclosures at Tinggården, near Grästorp to see their reactions. Both ladies did very well indeed, so time permitting I will do some more work with this during the course of 2012. A big thank you to Åke Tengström, and to Anette Frosch who took the pics. |

| We
were incredibly lucky with the weather; it was a bit cold and windy at times,
but it didnt rain and we didnt need to use the indoor riding
arena I had made sure was available
just in case! The pics are a mixed lot, but feature Anne Löfqvist and Fani, Anette Frosch and Lacoste, Anna-Karin Sundberg and Oden, Peter Falck and Dinah, Annica Andersson and Prince, Alex Rydin (and her family) with Caesar, Sofia Djärv and Akello, Tina Mattsson and Molly, and Klas Gille (and Anna) with Zeya. A big thank you to Tommy Christensen for all the pics (986 in all, so this is but a selection!), and to Anna and Klas Gille for the delicious food. And a big thank you too all who joined in; without you this by now annual weekend would not happen, and without your happy faces it would also be a lot less FUN!!! |
