First of May

Fireshow from last night

Us heathen Swedes have a celebration on the coming of spring on the eve of may 1st. We light bonfires, sing and dance. Here on Adelsö island, on ground trampled by our viking ancestors, they take the customs closer still to the way our forfathers did it. Dress up in clothes from the period, play historic instruments, eat and drink same as the oldtimers did.

Last night was no exception and we had a great time down at the old Viking fairgrounds!

Put Brady back in the two rein with a spade bit. He´s pretty dry mouthed and to get the juices flowing I wrapped the bar with cloth dipped in a molasses of sorts. That did the trick and he played with it and rolled the cricket like crazy. Was better yesterday than today when I started out riding pasture in the wind and ended in the arena with some light work. Tomorrow it´s time for Norsten again if he wakes up on the good side.
