A day with Kuse Showjumping

Apparently I never got around posting this back in February when I finished it, better late than never eh? I've learnt that stuff that I post on here is saved for the future whereas the forum for which I create it comes and goes. And it's actually nice to be able to go back and not only see the old pictures but also read the stories. I made a story like this 10 years ago, you can see it here, this time in the perspective of Howler, my main stallion (and Pigalle's sire)

Characters included: Katrin - rider, Camilla - main groom, Jens - breeder, responsible for the broodmares and young horses

On wednesdays Camilla is responsible for the morning feeding in the stable. We share stable with other horse owners and this setup is proven to be the best for everyone involved. The grooms and hired staff can take turn on the early mornings in the stable.

Geneva HX & Camilla

While the horses are finishing their breakfast they have their blankets changed. It’s not always appreciated to be disturbed during breakfast… Can’t wait for better weather and warmer days when the horses can be turned out without blankets!

Until 11 AM the walker is reserved for stallions, this means that the stallions are ridden first and mares & geldings in the afternoon. Pictured is Pigalle who always starts his days after breakfast with 45 minutes in the walker.

While Pigalle is in the walker Camilla is preparing Camaro L for his daily work with Katrin.

After the first horse is ridden it is time for the humans to have some breakfast. The time is spent discussing changes in the daily routine, upcoming shows and travel details. All done while mindlessly browsing online and flipping magazines. Once breakfast is finished the day continues, Camilla preparing horses for Katrin to ride.

Popeye S & Calpawald’s Calimero

Twice per day Jens visits the pastures with the youngsters making sure everyone is doing ok and checking feed and water supply. Kuse Showjumping has a small string of broodmares and youngsters of every age. Once they are ridden they are the responsibility of Katrin & Camilla.

One horse done, next one to go! Camilla leads Johnny Kann Jump S to the indoor for Katrin to ride and brings Mrs Killy S back to the stable for her post riding care.

A couple of times every week the horses are ridden outdoors. Oftentimes Camilla and Katrin rides together but today Katrin was busy elsewhere so Camilla took Common Touch S out for a spin in the afternoon sun.

Pigalle loves to spend his time in the pasture, so much that the team try to keep him out as much as possible. He’s not bothered when his pasture neighbors are brought in by dinner time, he happily chews his hay all alone in the fresh air. Most days Katrin takes him to the stable before she heads home for the day in the evening.

Camaro L got to do a conformation show this summer. He's such a handsome one!

KJT Finals 2023

The Kuse Jumping Tour that started kind of haphazardly in February turned into a love project that peaked in October with the opening of the KJT Finals. To respect different creators' TOU's I had to make the show Equiality-Sims exclusive when I designed the world for the finals. It's been such a joy seeing the entries created by others, creating courses is so much fun thanks to the talented CC creators making wonderful objects for us all to use!

By the end of the year my inspiration faded so my own entries are a bit subpar but I'm still happy with them.
