Travels in Finland and abroad 
Re-bonjour, Matti.
Je pense que Milla peut affronter sereinement la prochaine compétition.
J’aime particulièrement la photo 29, pour la position surprenante de Tara et le nuage de sable et poussière qu’elle soulève.
Très bon week-end à toi et ta famille.

Bonjour Marion.
Merci beaucoup pour ta commentaire. J’aime ta selection de ta photo. Le problem de Milla est ce que elle est très timide est en même temps Tare est celle qui conduit le cavalier, pas Milla.
Bon-weekend á toi et ta famille.

An exciting set of photos, showing the action of rider and horse. I like number 20, with all of the feet in the air and 21 on landing. But I think the movement in 29 is my favourite, as the horse turns quickly and kicks up the dust.

Hello Jackie.
Thank You. I appreciate Your comment and Your selection of favorites and I like them too. I just told to Marion that Milla has a problem. It is Tara who is in command not Milla. Maybe next year it is vice versa.
Happy weekend.

Great action photos! Looks like Milla is a very good rider! Tara is a beautiful horse!
Comment by montucky — August 21, 2010 @ 07:06 |
Hello Montucky.
Thank You. I’ll tell to Milla Your comment.
Comment by sartenada — August 21, 2010 @ 10:57 |
Beautiful horse and great action shots of the horse jumping the hurdles. Milla appears to be very comfortable with Tara and an accomplished rider.
Comment by Anna — August 21, 2010 @ 22:02 |
Hello Anna.
I am glad You liked my photos. To me, as a grandfather, it is not always so easy to be critical. Supportive words are always welcome and I’ll pass on them.
Comment by sartenada — August 22, 2010 @ 07:45 |
First thing I thought was what a huge horse and such a little girl. They work so well together. Milla must be no more than a feather on the back of Tara. If I were to take a guess of which photo you liked the best I would imagine it is the one with your car in it. I smiled when I saw it. You really relate to your car and I like that.
Comment by Preston — August 22, 2010 @ 14:24 |
Hello Preston.
Nice comment and thank You for Your compliment.
Well ,concerning that photo You selected, is flattering me. As You know Sir, a medal has two sides. One side I meant in this photo was to show how huge Tara is when comparing it with middle size five door family car.
As to the other side of medal has a story. My wife is saying (with humor of course) that men are big children. Okay, Children have toys. A man has to have a toy too, so this car is my toy. This toy has 2.8-liter V6 “supercharged” motor with two hundred eighty horses to serve me. The only place where I can release free all these horses is in Germany on its highways where there are no speed limits. Imagine it, no speed limits! Now I have been there twice driving fast and there will be surely the third time also sometimes in the future. No theme park can ever compete the feeling when driving fast. It is impossible to tell the feeling, a man has to experience it himself.
When having that kind of toy, one can easily think that I have plenty of traffic fines. No, not at all. Last fine I got one was in 1986 so it is long time ago. This is proving that I am very obedient when in traffic, driving carefully, paying my attention to my fellow drivers or in one word being a gentleman when driving.
Also when showing my toy occasionally every now and then, it is some kind of my “trademark” which I am hiding among my posts. Now You found it!

Bonsoir
Je viens de regarder tes photos de chevaliers ils sont super, mais il y en a quelques une qui me font peur…..avec la tête couper…..même si je sais que c’est du faux……
Belle photo.
Je vous souhaite une bonne soirée

Bonjour Frammy.
Vous avez raison Frammy. Les accidents sont toujours possible lors d’un saut, mais les accidents peuvent arriver aussi partout dans notre vie.
Merci beaucoup pour montrant votre intérêt á regarder la équitation de ma petite-fille.
Bonne journèe.
Comment by sartenada — October 5, 2010 @ 08:18 |

je vous souhaite une bonne soirée
cordialement, Frammy

Merci Frammy.
La petite cavalière, elle est ma petite fille.
Belle journèe.

Fantastic series here ! I love horses. Unfortunately, I had to stop horse-riding a very very long time ago (back problems).
So I’m always a little bit nostalgic when I see horses. You’re photos are really beautiful. Have a lovely day 🙂
Comment by Tamara — November 30, 2010 @ 12:51 |
Hi Tamara.
I am so glad that You “visited” with me looking at how my granddaughter is riding.
Belle journèe!
Comment by sartenada — November 30, 2010 @ 12:59 |
These are very cool photographs. I can feel how exciting it’d be to do or to look at.
Also I think you have a great sense of composition. 🙂
Comment by Aureo Bae — March 12, 2011 @ 06:14 |
Hi Aureo.
Thank For Your comment and visit. This kind of life I did not knew so much earlier before seeing my granddaughter riding. She started when she was very young, later she hired different horses and now few years she has her own horse and it is big.
When I was in army, then everyone has to ride a short trip. I can say that without any experience to get on horse is an experience, but to jump and to race is more demanding. As You saw, my photos show that the photographer cannot be asleep when photographing obstacle jumps. 🙂
Happy Saturday!
Comment by sartenada — March 12, 2011 @ 09:20 |
Beautiful horse! They seem to have a lot of fun together 🙂 I own an Arabian for more than 12 years now, before him I had a Fjord.
Greets 🙂

I am so glad to see your grand daughter, she must be so pleased with these photos. Great action shots, I like the photo of the car and horse size comparison.
Comment by Tokeloshe — June 5, 2015 @ 22:39 |
Hello again Linda.
Thank you praising my photos. My daughter and granddaughter love my photos. The blue car (2007 – 2013) was fantastic family car for two persons. During those years I drove around Finland by it when shooting photos. It was my pride, because it was V6 turbo 2.8 liters with 280 hp. It accelerated from 0 to 100 km in 6.3 seconds. What was best its sound world! On German highways I drove at the speed of 242 km/h by this car. I have one post full of photos presenting my Opel Vectra OPC.
In Finland cars are extremely expensive!!! I changed it to a car which accelerates on second faster.
Thank You for Your comment.
Have a nice day!
Comment by Sartenada — June 6, 2015 @ 11:31 |
Fabulous post, no doubt!
In all the photos , Tara seems to stand alone as a shining object!
Your granddaughter is a gorgeous girl, congrats to the whole family!
