Heart to Heart, You and Your Horse




She walks in Beauty, like the night
Of Cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
meet in her aspect and her eyes.

”She Walks in Beauty,” by Lord Byron





i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me if your doing, my darling)

”i carry your heart with me” by E.E. Cummings






“Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no; it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests, and is never shaken”

From ”Sonnet 116” by William Shakespeare

I love thee as I love the tone
Of some soft-breayhing flute
Whose soul is wak´d for me alone,

When all beside is mute.

DIY Equestrian Christmas Decoration

Tail hair is beautiful material. 
This year Nanna made some Christmas decorations with horse hair.
It´s easy to make your own, try!

All you need is some tailhair, glass beads, glue and
ribbon of your choice.

The diameter of the circle is 5 cm. For this size you would need
hair strands ca. 20 cm long. There are 35 hair strands.

Tip: 
Pull hair off rather than cut. You can also collect hair strands when grooming
the tail. You will be surprised how small bundle 35 hair strands is!



Thread the beads to hair strands and use a little drop of glue
to keep them in place.

                             "They sparkle beautifully in the
                                                         candle light!"


Tie hair strands together with the chosen ribbon.


Use the colors of your Christmas on the beads and ribbons.

Have a lovely Christmas time!
