Relaxing spring weekend

I hope you all have had a wonderful and relaxing weekend.

Jan and me were looking forward to a calm and quiet weekend after a few very busy weeks.

Jan was working in the garden a few hours because we really had a beautiful spring weekend here in Belgium and yesterday he went with our dog Ralph for a walk in the countryside of Brakel, the village where we live.

As he hadn’t his camera with him to take pictures, I googled to find a few pictures of the countryside of Brakel.

While Jan was walking I went horseriding. After my fall in november last year, I ride Mango again since January. I am still very cautious and do not take much risks.

I love being with Mango to take care of her, to brush her and to treat her well. 

I wear a protective jacket.

Doesn’t Mango look wonderful and healthy at her age of 17?

And what about your weekend?

The most beautiful horse in the world

 

Hello my dear readers, I have to admit that I am not that often behind my computer these days, I try to slow down a bit and to enjoy these holidays with my family. But I really had to share this news with you!

This month the most beautiful horse in the world is been chosen in Paris at The World Championship for Arabian Horses. The winner is the Belgian stallion QR Marc, which is owned by the Belgian Paul Gheysens, of the stud Knocke Arabians.

An exceptional performance, because such beauty contests are usually dominated by horses from the Gulf region.

QR Marc has won international prizes before: last year he won an international beauty contest in Dubai. The horse now has about 700 descendants, including many who also won prizes.

Being a Belgian and a true horse lover I was very proud to hear that a Belgian horse is chosen as the most beautiful horse in the world !

Congratulations to QR Marc and Mr Paul Gheysens of Knocke Arabians!

 

I do hope you all enjoy these last days of the year!
