Back again!

It's been a while to say the least since I last wrote but sometimes the time and motivation is just not there. Well a lot of things has happened so lets start from the beginning. As you all know the Europeans ended in the best possible way with Rolf winning the gold medal! The team result was a bit of a dissapointment since all horses jumped really good but we qualifyed for the Olympics next year wich was the main goal. From Madrid we continued on to Barcelona for the last leg of the Promotional League. Sweden had to win in order to make it to the Super League next year so the pressure was on! And after a thrilling second round Sweden came out on top before Spain and Ukrain, what a relief! We then started the long trip back home after nearly a month in Spain. On the way we stopped at Rolfs place for the Gold medal party wich was great but the last day of driving became just a little bit harder! Me and the horses were happy to be back home again and got some time off before it was time for the next big thing, World Cup in Oslo. Its not one of my favourite shows, the stables are outdoors and very cold and the only time to ride is at six o'clock in the morning so after four days of having the alarm set at 04.30 you feel a bit exhausted to say the least! The horses jumped good anyway but were a bit unlucky, Raven had one down in the jump off in the GP and Tore had one down in the World Cup. I drove straight home after the last class and was back at Jonstorp at three o'clock in the morning, put the horses in there stables and went to bed, finally some sleep! I spent Monday afternoon repacking the lorry and getting everything ready to leave for Helsinki on wednesday. My good friend Emma who works for Christian Ahlmann stayed at Lundbacks place just five minutes away so in the evening we went for a nice dinner and then I finally got a full nights sleep! Sara
