Behind the scenes…

each image has its own story

  • This was the final location for our extraordinary day trip! We visited a waterfall on private property and had permission to do so. All we had to do was find a gate…and we did…eventually! This guy was a trooper, scrambling over rocks throughout the day and willingly went wherever he was asked to go! He was having a bit of a break before we headed off and I thought I wonder if horses ever think they might be left behind!! He wasn’t!

  • One of my favourite things to do on my visit to Hestaland was to watch the horses in the corrals. It wasn’t hard to be there for a long time and often when I checki my watch, I realized that more than an hour had disappeared and I hadn’t even realized it!

  • Each morning, the horses of Hestaland are brought in from the pastures so they can be groomed and saddled up for their adventures - a trek, a lesson for a young rider or maybe training with participants from around the world who arrive to learn from the head trainer, Gudmar.

  • We saw up close and personal the amazing dispositions of each of the horses when we visited seventy plus of them in a pasture. They would often buddy up with another horse or two and could be seen giving each other scratches - with their teeth!

  • The horses were often curious as we walked along and this white horse in particular watched us and looked up to see if we had moved away. Just a lovely trio of horses enjoying the good life at Hestaland!

  • Loved seeing what the wind did to the manes of the horses of Hestaland. Everywhere I turned there was a windblown mane to photograph! We spent an hour or two walking around the pastures and we were treated to so many variations of windswept manes!
