Waiting for the horses to be deliverd to us, just can't wait for them to be here. They are two Haflinger ponies, a mare and gelding of 6 years. Very well behaved, very cooperative and friendly. The agreement is Eric will name the mare and I will name the gelding.They were both "family horses" before being put on the market for different reasons. They don't show any of the nevrotic symptoms of riding school horses.

In the mean time I am building the kitchen box (chuck box) for my cart. A bit of a shock passing from the 6 meters of work top of my kitchen to this tiny thing, but, funny enough, the working surface is not much smaller than it was in my old kitchen. Everything is relative.

The tent trial was fun. We had the tent in the meadow for four days and always slept outside during the trial. I love how the sleeping bag warms up the first minute you are in. The bed feels a lot colder. One night I was especially tired and Eric asked me if I was up to sleeping in the tent at all. I said "I just can't take the cold tonight, yes, let's sleep in the sleeping bags."

We never had any wind though, while the tent was up. Just typical.
