A the same time we followd up on some friends and peopel we know. Been to an exposition off beautifull paintings off or neighbour in castelo branco. We started to build or new website for the horses in spain and portugal. We gone update later when all is ready, it need to stay a litttel suprise he.......

We have a new horse on lease in the family. Val persa for the breeding season 2010, a lot off thanks to cristina valdes off valviejo stud in salamanca for this opportunity. She is the first brown mare we will have in or breeding program. We had to much white all ready.

So for the 2010 program we have VAL RAINA , VAL PERSA and last but not least FA EL PACHA. All horses goiing back to SKOWRONEK bred by Count jozef Potocki, as well in male as female lines. Valviejo three generations ago started with 5 daughters off skowronek .

This weekend we go to the national horsefare for lusitanos at golega, a feast for two weekends one hour drive from here in the santarem region. They will have all diciplines, morfiology, dressage, jumping, horseball , endurance, ect.......This isnt just a small festval, they come from over portugal and the world to meet at this feast. One off the biggest happenings with horses in portugal in honnor to there lusitano bred horses. Like the Alter real horses, a breed in the lusitano horse family ,famious in dressage discipline. For us a horse needs to be usefull and correct in his mind and body, the beauty is icing on the cake ,but as important. We all need a lot off type in the breed. Monday we drive back to spain. And next friday we go back to belgium for 4 days. We have seen barbara from the communithy in the serra, we where happy all whas fine with her. There is nothing between us, it felt oke. We bless her in what God whants to do trough her. We are all differant tribes with all differant skills, prioritys and passions. We need to respect that in each other. God is ALL in ALL, its about him. So lets stop analising each other, and look at where we can contribute next to others. The longer we are on the way the more broken we are about or differances and wars with each other. First in families, marriage, friends and churches.

And why, why, why. For or differances, because he or she is differant and he or she experience jesus differant. We made jesus to or level ,to or understanding. We need to break out off this, let jesus show himself as he is , all the rest is a misrepresantion. Its just an other craven image to or worschip. We made him an set off rules and regulations that makes US save. Or culture counts, or church, or familie, or status in business, or church, or teachings, or money.

Please come Holy spirit, and reveal jesus to me , as he is. And reveal yourself to your church and the world. Let us wake from this slumber. I seen you, you are so differant , so soft and hart level.

We need more, much more in or harts and spirits.

So many so called good things between you and me, its seems we need to get rid off real bad stuff and sins. But then its seems ,so many distractions, good stuff is in the way. Not realy sin in or eyes, buts its there in the way. To go and meet HIM, the so much better place.

Help me to stop whaist time on STUFF, and to invest in YOU.

Its so hard to break out off this, its not about religion , and a daily devotion time with you.

Its just a hunger to be free, to know you. Its just another deeper knowing.

But oke, its you anyway, speaking this way. So thanks for all you did and do for us.

greeting yves and regina
