We talk about training systems, how assessing the horse before a lesson and without equipment can help the training, tölt from the ground and working at Hestaland.

For this Christmas special, we talked to Catherine Holland-Bax, author of the book "Little Viking Horse". Catherine shares how Fleygur, the horse of her late husband Roger, became an inspiration to write a book about adventures from the perspective of an Icelandic horse. 
Ariane read this book in one sitting, being hooked on the trust and friendship transpiring to the reader. Catherine understands perfectly to take you with on the experiences of Fleygur.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it and can recommend to read the book.
