plaits, falls and a bruised/grazed shoulder

so as your guessing from the title of this post, its been a interesting day at the yard for the competition i got there at 9:30 to start getting Arthur ready for my test that was at 11:13 at least that what i thought was going to happen whoever said life was easy was deffo not telling the truth!

Arthur's bum all plaited and pretty and looking good clean for once it makes a change!
He was fine when it came to tacking him up and I even managed to stand behind him and get a picture of his bum butt if only it stayed that simple but it didnt! I tacked him up and things were going really well as much as I don't like him I thought things were actually going on him, He let me get on him, tighten his girth (thank god my stirrups were already long!) and start walking down towards the bottom school where I was going to be warming up! Arthur had other ideas, he heard an engine start up and it spooked him so he a u turn went straight in to canter, and starting going mad, I was holding on pretty well until he decided to go down the drive way and saw the thing that had spooked him so he quickly changed his mind and started doing an s turn but because of the speed that he was going at I went one way and he went the other way, So I ended up coming off him, wacking my back on a concrete step thing and grazing it all and keeping hold of him whilest he was being a prat thank god for the fact that I kept hold of him or god knows what that pony would have done!

Then Lauren said she would walk him down to the bottom of the school and i was to get on there! well he was fighting with her the entire time, steph made the call that he was to lively to be being rode, and that he needed to go back to his stable, and Lauren started to walk him back up then BAM bolt number two and he escaped from lauren with no rider on him running around the yard going mad god knows what was up with him, so tomorrow I plan to go back up to the yard to get my jacket but I also need to check and make sure that arthurs okay for my own piece of mind!

Anyway arm and shoulder are hurting now so thats it for today!
Love

    Yep wasn't what I expected that is for sure! But went to the hospital to get checked out and all is looking good just have to wear a splint until they can tell me if my scaphoid bone (in my hand) is broken or not (it doesnt show up on the xray for 10 days apparently! Went to see Arthur this morning and he seemed in a better mood and wasn't bandaged up or anything but no one was around to ask to make sure he was deffo okay but he seemed fine! xx

CON ARTIST - NICKI WILLIAMS - BEWARE

Okay so this post has taken me a while to post for several reasons but the main one being just how angry this woman has made me.  For those of you that have been following my blog for a long while you will know that back around October of 2016, I was introduced to a woman called Nicki Williams, she was a friend of a friend that was supposed to be opening a centre for rehoming and rescuing animals, but also for horses working with soldiers that has PTSD. We hit it off straight away and came what I thought to be good friends. However warning bells should have probably rang sooner. By January or February of last year the horses that I had agreed to look after (that she had got on loan) Bella and Arthur, she was being threatened that she would have them taken off her by the control of horses act, because she hadn't been paying the rent for the field. Although Nicki reassured me that she had done, she even showed my 'payments' that had been made to Angie. I ended up getti...

Just as you think things are getting better they prove not to be.

On Sunday in the Early hours of the morning my nan took another fall, while she was trying to go to the toilet, (she has an en suite so it wasn't a long way for her to walk but she went all dizzy and then fell), and as she has a small compact bathroom she hit her head on the side of the bath. Today we had the Doctor out to see her and he was worried with the fact that her blood pressure drops so low when she stands up and when following the doctors finger when looking to the right her eye was jerking side ways but not to the left. So he said he wanted her to go in to a Day case unit and have a whole load of tests including a brain scan, blood tests and chest x-rays. He wrote a cover note/letter and my Uncle took my nan to the doctors. While she was there she had an ECG, blood tests and chest x-rays but no brain scan which was the most important one that she needed. They then told her that her blood pressure was fine but it was her heart that they were worried about. She never had ...

an intense few days.

The past few days have been INTENSE to say the least. Both days have been filled with horsey madness and while I am aching now I feel good for managing to accomplish everything that I have done. There will be some video's soon but I honestly just haven't got around to uploading them and editing them so as soon as I do that I'll let you know and you can all see. Yesterday I went up to do Magic, after all the ponies nearly escaped from the field I eventually managed to convince him to come and do some work. He had a really nice groom and fuss, which he LOVED. Then I put his bridle with his new reins on, and his lunge cavesson (not sure if I have spelt that right), we lunged nicely for both ways doing walk, trot and canter. Then out of no where going to the right he exploded. I couldn't see anything that had happened so assumed he was just having one of his moments and that he would be fine and calm down, but that I might need to free school him first. So I did what I...
