Horses as mirrors

When you look in a mirror what do you see? Do you like that person or are you concentrating on parts that you don't like? Do you see yourself?

Horses see us how we are, not what we pretend to be or would love to be like. We don't need to prove them, we just are. So are they.

Alfie is a big bunch of love and softness,.... Untill I pretend to be someone else. Trying to proof myself in front of somebody else or even hide something from myself.

"My horse is not doing anything when somebody is looking"... They do something. They show exactly where you are with your mind, and good on them for showing you that they want you for what you are.

Alfie taught me that having courage has nothing to do with not being afraid. And that crying isn't a sign of weakness. that a smile is only real when your heart is smiling too, and most important...
That love is nothing to be afraid of.

Listen to them and you'll learn how you feel. They don't judge, they will give you 10000 chances to learn and they will never forget.

It's over,

One month of traveling with my beloved boy is over. We have the chance of catching a ride back home on a truck that's transporting race horses up to Nelson and we can hop on.

It's been challenging and absolutely magical. I've never had such an intense time with any living being on this planet.
I feel pure, unconditional love for this horse. Some days I hated him for bringing up so many deep emotions that have been hidden behind thick walls of fear. We broke through it.

The thought of going back to university makes me feel sick and tired already, luckily I still have 5 weeks to go before I fly back. I've got two homes, 18.000km apart from each other. Two hearts beating into different directions. I will focus on what's good for me. Spent time in nature, connect and love. And most of all, focus on my dreams. There is always a way. But it might be not the easiest. I've met so many inspiring people on this trip, working hard for their ideas. If we can do it, so can you.

Happy Happy New year to everyone. 2018 has been intense, ...changes, challenges, journeys and character building.
I realised that you can study any kind of subject in any university you want, but life will always be the greater teacher. Love will always be the answer and nature is always in charge.

Cheers to the dreams that gonna be fullfilled in 2019.

Be a dreamer, get out there, take one step at a time and break the elephant into pieces. You can do it. It's all part of the journey.

Dreaming,

I always wanted to spent time with my alfie in the mountains. And now we finally did make it. We started from where we ended our last trip and this time he carried me.

You wouldn't believe his sparkling eyes climbing up and down the shingle mountain treks, crossing rivers and following muddy paths. Everytime I asked him wether he needs a rest he just kept going untill we were on top of the hill.

He is a strong and wild boy, and I still can't belibe is how gorgeous he is.

Being out there made me realize how important it is to respect and each other and take care of each other. Alfie is often in "myspace" how people call it and 80% of the time ... I love it. I love having him close, cuddling, whatever. But climbing down a mountain side we just have to have our distance otherwise it's getting really dangerous. I was frustrated and didn't know how to tell him... So i used my rope to visualize my space and he got better and better. On the way down our last 1300m mountain pass he was walking a meter in behind and even waited with crossing the creeks after I had crossed them. Gentleman like.

Sometimes he runs through stuff, or gets very strong when he has difficulties sorting out his legs or dealing with a new difficult task. I was so proud of him when he actually stopped looking at the path and then cross, step by step. He is getting so aware of his body and I couldn't ask for a more beautiful way to connect to my wild boy.

We'll get there. Together!

Merry Christmas to everyone!
We had a wonderful Christmas where we stay at the moment. The weather is winter European like so taking a rest feels amazing but we're heading out again soon!
I couldn't have been at a better place. It's the time of love and connection. Recovery and stillness.
Go and love, live and breathe. Emotions are your friends, invite them in and take good care of them.
You'll get to know them and start being able to empathize what they need.

The Start of a loooong day.
A rainy start and getting up before sunrise to potentially beat the ongoing thunderstorms in the afternoon. The saddle we had to cross was so foggy that I could hardly see my hands. Luckily we just followed the track and got over it. Two awesome people we met from the department of conservation checked on us that we got over the saddle safe. People are awesome.
We had lunch at lake Tennyson and after that were followed from black clouds and lighting across the sky. Not hitting a drop of rain for two hours. I was sure that we had a guardian watching us all the way. The rain hit us two hours before we finally arrived at the hut after 10 hours of walking. Everything was soaked and I slept curled into my emergency blanket being freezing cold during the night. The hut was old and had stuff written all over the walls, but I was happy to be dry. Rats ate part of my rice that night and my blisters were terribly infected and ankle was swollen.
That was the moment I decided to head for our final destination a couple of days earlier. There was a 12 hours walk in front of us and I thought I could never do it. But we did, I never appreciated Alfies "don't worry be happy" charachter more then ever in that moment. Without him I couldn't have done it. I never hiked more then 5 hours ever in my life before and some moment I leaned over my boy and he was the sweetest partner ever. He can be such a ratback but if you're in trouble he's there.

The length of new zealand and why i am not riding.

When we stumbled over people on our hike we often got asked, how long we're going and why I walk.

The reason I am here is that I want to be with my boy, and experience myself. Learn what my body is capable of doing and show this young horse the mountains. And to be honest, he fits into the wide open, the raff country and changeable wether. I am sh****ng myself out there in the thunderstorms of the high country.

Being back at a farm, I realised that this connection we have is there, but different to how it was in the mountains. I could let him free and he was always with me. So was I. Waking up in the middle of the night, calling him if he's all right and get a loud and friendly answer.

We went riding into the open space on some days, but without the gear and he showed me to fly over the hills. I never galloped him before and we both just were free. He loved it and so did I.

I can't see myself riding, having him carry me and all of the gear. I just can't. People might think I'm mad, as I have terrible blisters now and couldn't walk for a week, but I still just want to be with him. Follow, go in front, stop and go. Flowing. Breathing in the same rhythm. Both carrying our packs, side by side.

I don't care on what kind of distance, I could just stay in one place and watch him. Lay with him in the grass and enjoy the moment.

I am packing

3 days to go and I am getting pretty exited and nervous.

Took a year to plan my trip and even if we're just out there for two days. I am more then happy. Started with a break from university having a melt down and wanting to quit everything.
I am now here after all the work archiving the flights, getting together all the gear ( Finally the hoof boots!From donations on market stalls. People are amazing), then having to sell my beloved saddle to afford further travel, the training and challenges that I had with Alfie, planning the route, asking for permission,find wooofing places along the way, getting the technic ready to work, learning more and more about trail riding, preparing myself for being out in the bush, coordinating through GPS and maps, food preparation, ... And after all taking care about myself, Alfie, beloved people and animals around me.

The adventure doesn't start on saturday, but its definitely turning to reality.

I don't care if we're going for a week or 4 or 6. I am here, and we're taking it step by step.

There are so many beautiful souls surrounding me without them it wouldn't have been possible to be here.

I love you

*Silence*

I catch my mind ever so often running into directions I couldn't have dreamed of. Now, that our trip is coming closer and closer I realise that calming myself will be a challenge.

Have you ever slept in a herd of horses? Have you ever trusted them to not step on you and stayed there with them? ... I realised what a big gift it is that they trust us to become silent with us around them. One of my favourite things is to walk over to the herd and have a nap with them under the trees. Alfie mostly lays down next to me and i just go over to him, to lay down next his back. Listening to his breathing and slowly allow myself to fall asleep too.

Did you ever wake up having horses heads over you protecting your silence? Let them carry you, they'll teach you how to be calm.

Just sit there with them, watch your thoughts. whatever you feel its okay. And if you loose it, just look at the horses, they'll bring you back.

My golden unicorn
We just returned from our first trip alone. We slept in a beautiful part of the forrest surrounded by deer right next to a little creek.
Just before sunset we decided to go for a walk and met two hunters on our way. I wasn't quite keen to talk to these dodgy looking guys but alfie said it's not polite to just leave, so he dragged me along. (Me just thinking "alfie they've got a trillion dogs, weapons and we are alone in the forrest! Not quite keen letting them now we'll stay here the night)
Two dead pigs lying on the floor and dogs barking all around, but alfie didn't bother at all... I was very pleased when they left.
I woke up a hundred times checking on my unicorn but he just stood there relaxing in the moonshine under a million stars. It'll take me some time to trust but I realised I am already part of his herd. Gives me goosebumps every time he calls me, when I leave our campsite to grab water.
I don't have to be brave all the time, neither does he. But we'll work it out together.

100% pure New Zealand.

4 years ago i was confronted with the fact, that New Zealand, the oh so green country uses helicopters to spread 1080 over areas in national parks.

What is 1080?

1080 is the brand name given to the synthetic version of sodium fluoroacetate - a toxic, odourless, white powder compound, which naturally occurs in plants, acting as a powerful defence.

However the synthetic version, 1080, is far more potent and kills. New Zealand is the largest buyer of 1080 in the world, using over 80 per cent of the chemical produced.

1080 is distributed in laced bait via ground and aerial application by the Department of Conservation (DoC) and the Animal Health Board (AHB). It is mainly used to kill possums, however other ‘pests', including feral cats, rabbits, rats and stoats, are also targeted.

1080 is banned in several countries, including Brazil, Belize, Cuba, Laos, Slovenia and Thailand, as well as in some states of the United States where aerial distribution and its use on all mammals but coyotes is prohibited.

Cruel effects of 1080

Death from 1080 is cruel and protracted. Animals receiving a lethal dose of 1080 show severe signs of poisoning, with death resulting from heart or respiratory failure. Clinical signs of poisoning include rapid and laboured breathing, tremors and muscle spasms, terminal convulsions and death. It usually takes possums between 6-18 hours to die.
()

I want to go out with Alfie and enjoy the wild, the green side of New Zealand without being unsure of having poison in our food and water. Yes they say it is biodigredable, ... and i quote a wise woman here. SO IS COW S**T! And you don't want to have it in your water.

Its time to care for this beautiful environment in an different way.

There were times where i was sure I want my children to grow up in New Zealand. But i am not sure now, wether i would even take my dog out for a walk to the forrest.

Its time to start thinking. Time to gather.

"Dont give up...something that you think of everyday"
I arrived 2 month ago and I was planning to be gone already two weeks ago. Alfie showed clearly that he needs more time. And I do too. Yesterday I realised I didn't even unpack my bag.
People that know me, know, that one of my dreams is to live in a little yurt, caravan or cabin near my herd of horses. And here I am, in a sweet little cabin, horses on my doorstep and I didn't even think of unpacking and enjoying my time because I was to busy thinking of leaving, where ever to and feeling homesick more then usual when traveling. So i decided to start gardening and creating my space. Because we are now, not tomorrow.
I am already on the way, and alfie is teaching me to step back, be here and now. We had a wonderful ride yesterday, he was leading the whole way and gave me a couple of trots and even two strikes of gallop. No stopping because he's overwhelmed.
Oh boy, you are my greatest teacher.

"breath" said the horse "i don't know how" i answered
"stand up" said the horse "where should I go?"
"find yourself"said the horse. "let it go, calm down within myself and breath" "I don't know how" i answered. "feel the ground, bend to the sky, then open your eyes and Be" said the horse. "let's walk it together" said the horse "Whenever you loose your courage, I am going to carry you. Whenever you feel small, I stand up tall. Remember who we were. Look who we are. And let it happen who we are going to be" "Where is the path" I asked. "I can't see"
"We are already on the way" said the horse.

"Atme", sagte das Pferd. "Ich kann nicht", sage ich.
"Steh auf", sagte das Pferd. "Wo soll ich hin", sage ich.
"Zu Dir", sagte das Pferd.
"Lass los, komm in mir zur Ruhe und atme".
"Ich weiß nicht, wie das geht", sage ich. "Fühle die Erde,
streck Dich zum Himmel,
dann öffne die Augen und SEI", sagte das Pferd.
"Lass uns den Weg gemeinsam gehen", sagte es.
"Wo du mutlos bist, trage ich Dich. Wo Du klein bist, bin ich groß
Erinnere wer wir waren. Sieh wer wir sind.
Lass geschehen, wer wir werden".
"Wo ist der Weg?" frage ich. "Ich kann nichts sehen".
"Wir gehen doch schon", sagt das Pferd.

We went swimming yesterday in the river, Alfie loves the water and slowly starts getting used to me being on his back in deeper water. Afterwards I tied him onto a tree and relaxed in the sun ... my boy decided that's way too boring and pulled, threw around sand and bit in the tree. I just heard it cracking and the whole tree fell over and landed 20 cm next to me on the ground being stopped from a big horse body. Alfie ... all tangled up just stood there looking at me "wasn't me!" All calm and relaxed ... HE IS NOT NORMAL! Luckily nothing happened.

I wanted to be gone by the beginning of November ... and at the moment i don't want to put a date on it at all... He's mister troublemaker! Ripped the pack bags last weg, the tying rope today ... and with it the freshly coated sink and kitchen bench that was drying outside. I'm learning. I'm learning... mostly to be patient and deal with my feelings being on a massive roller coaster.

I love him, ... i think.

14/11/2018

One of my own biggest fears is being out in the darkness... My ears hear everything a 100 times louder then usual, and a little cracking makes my heart beat a lot faster. So I started to take Alfie for walks at night. As I cant see anything, and usually not using any torches I took of the leading ropes and just trusted him not going anywhere. This is a video a friend took on one of our night walks. he's like a big dog, following me no matter how long we walk up the forrestry treks. These are the moments I'm seeking. When we become one herd, and its just me and him.

29/10/2018

Our first night together in the big field went totally wrong. Alfie pulled and it took him 3 minutes to get rid of the peg in the ground, galloped of to the others and jumped the fence ... well.
So I used the last couple of days to train him getting even more used to the peg and being tied up. He is used to having the rope hanging on to him and sort out his legs, but he managed a couple of times to spin around and tie all his legs together. I am using a easy release hook so that, if he's tangled the rope lets go. So he learned he doesn't have to panic. In my opinion, especially for training it is really important to have it, I wouldn't want him to get hurt.

So yesterday we tried again. In a different paddock, still having the herd close. Gave him a big bunch of hey and .. he was amazing! he slept right next to my tent and woke me up whining, when he decided its time to get up!

He also startet to try pulling on the easy release... I hope my clever cheeky friend doesn't get how to open it ...

I trust him and I find the courage in him to keep going.

25/10/2018

We had a wonderful day at Ngatimoti market where I told people about our trip. I used my painting that I did 2 years ago, .. that time I had no idea, that I'll be back. I met wonderful people like Terri Everett from Nelson & Tasman Weddings - The Dream Maker NZ and am a bit closer to Alfies hoof boots.

That"s what the sign said:

Alfie the golden Haflinger and I are going on a South Island Adventure

We would love your help for hoof boots (800NZD) ( i was selling two horse cookies for a gold coin) and would love your help for places to stay on the way.

WHO WE ARE:

Alfie is a 5 year old Haflinger, this is his first great adventure an I'm Sarah from Germany. I previously worked for the riding for the disabled near Christchurch and on high country stations. I'm studying occupational therapy and just returned from a trip from Mongolia on horseback.

So If you know anyone on the way between st. Arnaud, Hanmer springs down south that would love a hand, and has a place to stay for me and my boy, let me know. Any ideas about how to get hoof boots ( I'd like to have renegades) are much appreciated. :)

24/10/2018

When I arrived 4 weeks ago my expectations were huge... Alfie showed me straight away on our first ride that i have to take it slow. He was rearing and decided that, what I want is definitely not what he wants. So i took a step back. Through trick training and ground work we worked on trusting each other so that I could take him out for walks from the herd. We are now able to ride and walk for 5 hours through the forrest. Soon I will move with him to an other paddock and sleep in my tent before we spent our first night in the forrest and go on a bigger ride into the next valley. Right now we're doing 10km on our rides (up and downhill) and i get him used to being tied up. He is a very smart horse, and he is so much braver then i am!
