The snow is gone and now we can finally forget the arena and head out to the sand ring to ride! Here are some pictures of an April afternoon busy with lessons!

Our camp season has officially started! Although it seems that Mother Nature got a bit confused and sent us Christmas instead of Easter, our first dressage camp of the year was a lot of fun regardless of the unexpected cold and snow… Nice and happy people can warm up your heart quite efficiently! The trick is to try to warm up the big old manor house!
Here are some pictures of the surprise snowfall that nobody expected. Hopefully it will be gone soon enough!
Spring is coming and our camp season is starting soon!

Marika competed at the Tallinn Horse Show CDI1*, where she was second in both Prix St. Georges and Intermediate-1 Freestyle. As Marika usually rides Grand Prix, she had a hard time with her freestyle, as Orlando kept trying to do passage instead of that plain and boring trot!
This week it will be a trip to Helsinki Horse Show and Marika is going to bring along a new freestyle!
Marii-Heleen and Ave took performed the THS show program with Helifar and Ounce of Gold, they were part of the 12-horse quadrille. Here are some pictures by Külli Tedre. You can see more of the Tallinn Horse Show pictures here: http://www.kyllitedre.com
On September 17 and 18 we had a clinic with the accomplished Swedish GP rider and dressage trainer Nina Bengtsson.
Nina was visiting Estonia with her fiancee Mikis. We had some very useful and fun sessions and we hope we are able to invite them back again!

Our girls Ave and Marii-Heleen participated in the FEI World Dressage Challenge competition this weekend. They did really good, Marii won both the Preliminary and Elementary Junior Classes. They also took part in the clinic following the competition with the FEI 4* judges Mrs Margaret Hansen and Alla Subbotina. The picture is taken after the clinic, on Helifar and Ounce of Gold.
Our stable was featured in the Estonian “Oma Hobu” magazine, August issue. The story is about the history of the place, the buildings, stable facilities and dressage camps.

The storks at Järlepa Manor watch our training sessions with big interest and sometimes step into the dressage ring themselves… // Järlepa mõisa kured jälgivad huviga treeninguid ja mõnikord astuvad ka ise koolisõiduaeda…
Here are some pictures from long-long ago… Mainly from 1980-s.
