I just found that video on facebook and although I live here and see it every day - I still can´t believe how great God is and how beautiful he made nature (in this case Austria  So don´t forget everyone is invited to come and visit me  http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=9324273887 So that was the intro - I thought I should write on xanga again what is going on in my life right now. Studying is great (at least English) I hope I won´t make that many mistakes anymore when I come in summer. Although I am soooooooo excited about summer and I know that I wouln´t survive another summer without Camp and America I know that I should go to Spain in summer - because my Spanish is not good at all and if I wnat to pass the next tests I should go into a Spanish speaking country - but there is no way that I won´t come, so don´t worry. I might go to Spain in February for a few weeks. I have finals in the next two weeks ( 9! ) and I don´t know if I will pass Spanish. You need more that 75 % to pass. In English I had 97 % in each test and so that won´t be any problem. In February I am going to book my flight and at that occacion I want to say again: Jess is coming in September for two weeks with me to Austria and everybody else is invited too! It would be great if some more people would come too. I can promise you that you won´t regret it. Just watch the video above I say it now again, because Jess is booking with me in February - we want to fly to Austria in the same plane - so anyone coming with us would have to book with us. So please everybody: Think about it! It would make me so happy. I started with Art of Natural Dressage with my horse and it is great! I am having so much fun with playing with him. If you want to read more - www.artofnaturaldressage.com at daily training (starting off with my horse) but you have to be logged in to read it. I though I might just post part of my last entry so that you can see what we are doing: So today was the last day I had time for Cut, before I had to leave for University again. :( :( But I will still see him on weekends
When I got to the barn the horses were still in their stalls and Cut was lying down in his box. (Last time he was down when I came and I (stupid!) walked in right away and he got spooked and almost fell over when trying to get up  src="http://1.2.3.9/bmi/www.artofnaturaldressage.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif"> src="http://1.2.3.9/bmi/www.artofnaturaldressage.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif"> ) This time I just stood next to the box and asked him if it was okay if I would come in, or if he would like to stand up first. But he stayed down. So I made myself really small and walked up to him (slowly) and he stayed down! I feed him every single treat I had and he was totally relaxed and comfortable with me standing next to him and with him on the ground. He never even rolled close to me before so it was a HUGE prove of his trust towards me - it is amazing how much our relationship grew in the last 2 month. After giving him all of my treats I got a little bit worried for a second, because he still didn´t get up - I thought he might be sick or something, but then I clicked and he slowly got up and was totally fine 
So great start of todays session.
So I thought I might just fool around with him today and no dressage training today. So I took him for a walk at liberty. With the ball again. the last time our "walk at liberty" was outside the fence, but still between the barn and the paddocks - so a place where he totally feels comfortable at. Today I took him out in the open. And I imidiately could feel how the tensed up just a little and got a little bit nervous. So I shortened the time between letting him touch the ball and treating. And he was okay. But not focused on the ball like usually. One time he just walked into the yard of my uncle and first I wanted to go after him and call him back, but then I though that that wouldn´t be liberty (I still have to try to give him real liberty - and not just playing with him at liberty as long as he stays with me, but as soon as he leaves liberty isn´t good anymore and he has to come back src="http://1.2.3.9/bmi/www.artofnaturaldressage.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif"> Because that is not liberty anymore. But I am working on that ) And so I just let him and after a few seconds he came trotting to me  because he wanted to be close to me SO CUTE!!
After that I took him into the BIG pasture and we played there a little bit. And he was totally fine again. He even jumped after the ball in a huge trot when I kicked the ball away from me - before he wasn´t really comfortable with that. After that I tried it at the field and again one time he decided that the gras a few meter away was much more interesting. But he came back again after a short time and touched the ball. He slowly is getting it, that when he kicks it with his legs he gets two treats  He even kicked it over the whole pasture today
Then I also did some riding in the cordeo in the walk, bareback and steering and stopping slowly gets better. We even managed to do two steps of a shoulder in today
So I am already looking forward to seeing him again on Saturday So I hope you liked the update. I have one more short story to tell about how great God is: In Innsbruck there is a community for students who are Christians and one girl (a friend of mine asked her to call me) asked me if I wanted to come with her to a praying and breakfast session. And we said we would meet today at 6:50. When I got up in the morning I didn´t wanna go. I was still tired and I didn´t know how it would be with new people and everything. So I just thought - I hope she won´t come and then I don´t have to go. And she didn´t! I know you probably think now that that is stupid, but I just had to laugh, because she overslept and it never happened to her before. I went home again and I sat down at home and just had to laugh about how God answeres prayers in different ways. I hoped so bad that she wouldn´t come that morning and she overslept. But through that I was not mad at all at her. There is a prayer answered that I didn´t really want to be answered. Miss you all a lot! Only a few month left! Daniela | 
) I don`t have any Spanish classes this semester, because I didn`t pass the test and now I am trying to learn it for myself. So I work through Spanish grammar and vocabulary. I am afraid I will have to learn Spanish too when I am at Camp. The second try for the test is right after I come back from the US (I have two weeks, but during that time Jess is here so I won`t have any time to learn in that time). And this time I have to pass or the State is gonna cancel all the support I get. Not good at all.
) Why do I feel everywhere happy and comfortable, being able to open up to people and just be who I am, even feel like at home - except when I am at home. (Does that make sense) Don´t know.
