Hi Hanne
Yes, I am Norwegian, but I live in Sweden, near Malmö (very near Denmark). I guess that makes me very Scandinavian ;)

Yep, it sure does, Ellen! :-) So, have you been to Copenhagen often? My sister and her family live there. How do you find the difference between Norway and Sweden? I have not been to Norway yet but I have been to Sweden a few times as the company I used to work for have a branch in Varberg.

Hi, well I am not from Denmark, but am married to a dane! I lived there in the 90's, in a smaller town on Jutland called Hadsund... just got back from there actually to see family and to look at two babies(horses) i have there. Ruth

Hello! Nice to meet someone who is foreign but has lived here! How did you find our country? We are coming into the colder months, very chilly out today. :-)

Hi, I am from Sweden I was born on Gotland and learned to ride on Gotlandsruss. I then moved to Uppsala where I had warmblood jumpers and now I live in Tampa Bay Florida where I breed Akhal-Teke horses.

How interessting! You want to arrange a clinic with me in Florida? I haven't been there in years, and right now the winter here is at it's "best"... would love to have an excuse to fly to a warmer place :) The fact that you have Akhal-Teke horses isn't a minus either to say the least; it's a facinating breed that I have only had the pleasure of working with a few times before.

Well, I guess you know we live in Parelli country here in Florida now, his "castle" is situated only an hour from where we live. However, I can investigate the possibilities as I only last week got a request for helping out arranging clinics with various European themes here in Florida.

No, I didn't realize that was Parelli country. Do you think that is a problem? I do things differently than he does, maybe it would be good for people around there to get a different perspective...

No I do not really think it is a problem as long as you can profile yourself as not another Parelli clone...... Have you held clinics or seminars in the US before? I think we can work something out and test the interest. Clinics and seminars will get a good audience in the winter when there are a lot of riders her showing.
