2020 just disappeared,but will never be forgotten.

December 2019 at the competition we were just kidding with something the Chinese had got!!!
It did not occur to us a thought, that it would occur here !!!

Start Feb we still had not understood.
A hotel in Abu dhabi had closed down due to a case of corona,we found it strange and was happily compeeting without any more thoughts about that..
FROM THERE➡️ it went fast to Lockdown,and strickt rules was to follow,the police was everywere and yes we felt unsecure not to understand,we still dont understand,but are not unsecure,thanks to UAE’s prepared authorities..
Luckily we lived that time in Fujhairah
“1 hour away from Dubai” with strickt timings to follow but no 3 weeks lock down like Dubai.
In April we was still in strong believe that Swedens summer training in July at least August and certainly in September would stand…
Nothing came off,im STill waiting,what will 2021 bring?
I/we are still lucky to live in such a well-developed world with wifi opportunities to stay in touch with family and also do
online training with my students/friends.

First 2 month i was incredibly restless but I had to learn to live with this new situation for better and for worse,it got better,but its still not easy and i will never get used to such a situation,im happy when i can sit around the table and talk to my parents/family and friends again.

But….My horse is happy,my husband is very happy and my dog ​​cant imagin the life before Corona➡️ always on the run…


I have been riding much more, got to know 2 wonderful girls better and also developed their riding skills which has really been rewarded,It will be an exciting season starting in January.
Cash feels great and A-equestrian has been developed to another dimension.

We cant do more than to stay positive for the future, i feel lucky to live in the UAE with prepared Authorities who converted the Dubai World Trade Centre into a field hospital that can house 3,000 coronavirus patients in a bid to ramp up the country’s capacity to treat people infected with the COVID-19,it was never in use but still its there..
A finger-prick blood test was also early at stage,mouthpiece from Feb,heatcamera at every entrance,desinfection program and so much more.
Thank you UAE for keeping us safe,but its also here mandatory to follow the rules….
So many tragic fates,we have been lucky.
With this i want to wish you all a
Merry Christmas and a
Happy healthy and better new year.
Thank you for reading.
Best wish from me to you
Anita Sande.
