On names:

 

My name is Signe-Sanne and my horses name is Blizz. That is short for Blizzard, the name he already had when I bought him. Although I had several other beautiful and meaningful names planned, I decided to stick with Blizz(ard). I love LiveActionRolePlaying ( LARP) and went on adventurous weekends regulary before I owned my pony. When Larping I did have an imaginary horse, a brown mare, named Bliss. I think it was fate that lead me to find Blizz and his appropriate name.

I am also knows as 'dapper dier' or on a few other sites as Brave Animal. Dapper dier is the dutch translation of the latter. That name came to be when I finished my education as a theaterdesigner and got my Bachleor degree. It is quit a long story that I would like to shorten by mentioning 'the Te of Piglet'. In that book the wirter ( also an artist) explain the letters BA behind his name as the title Brave Animal. My father started calling me Brave Animal and when I started work as an artist I decided on naming my business 'dapper dier'. Even though I am not a business anymore, the name got stuck and I still think it applies deftly to what I am doing now.

 

On horses:

 

I have always loved horses, I dreamed of them when I was awake and asleep. I caught 'the virus' at a young age and it just never went away. There was a time when I did not have so much time to spend on horses and it just became to expensive or too far away or just not a priority in live. But it never went away and came back even worse when I decided to actually buy my own horse and make a livelong dream come true. I was so lucky to succeed straightaway and found the horse of my dreams. It had ot be a Gyspy cob ( or tinker ( europian) or Irish cob ( english)  or vanner horse ( american)) and though when I saw Blizz he was too short, too stocky, too old and too feisty, it turned out to be teh pony for me! My mom pointed that out to me and she is not a horselover!
