The pony behind the Girl

Okay so today i though i would tell you more about the horse thats made me who I am, he's a piebald cob that goes by the name of Jake, or Jakey Boo, or various different names depending on whether he behaves or not that more times than not he doesn't do. He's about 14 years old maybe older than that and thinks that hes a 3 year old that gets him to have as much fun as he really wants too. To most people he might not look like much but to me he is the best horse in the world. He might be over weight and he might be lame on and off but to me he is magical, he's a horse that bought my riding on to where it is now, and I will always love him no matter what.

Things Jake loves, carrots, food of any kind, definitely polo's, lots of attention although iif you overcrowd him he is not going to be happy. What doesn't he like? WORK, having his hoofs picked, work again and being away from his mates, yes he might be a big baby but thats why i love him. I've rode Jake for roughly nine years now, and I dont think that I can imagine life without him. Without Jake I wouldn't be me and that's a fact! 

My boy, not the best photo but this is my boy, he's a mad horse but I love him he doesn't like to work and when he does work he thinks that the best thing to do is run around none stop and go mad.

Trotting as you can see he is just a little bit over excited and like's to pull against the reins but hey thats jake for you

Jakey Boo

The joys of riding without stirrups, I can't stand doing it but some how doing it on Jake doesn't bother me too much this was a lesson after I had fallen off Tuesday about three days ago

Trotting with out stirrups

Just after jake had a spook at the camera when we were riding without stirrups wasn't the best lesson but it proved to me that I can still do it no matter how hard it is I CAN do it if i want to!

Wind in his main :')

Time for a canter on the magical pony that is Jake to be honest I think the smile on my face says it all, words cant describe how much I love this pony.

The pony behind the girl, hes more than just a horse, he's part of me and part of my life and thats the way it is going to stay
 Yes Jake might be a mad horse and yes he might miss behave but at the end of the day he is who he is and there is no way that I would ever change him! This pony is loved for the good and the bad equally. My theory when it comes to animals and people is this if you can't love them at their worst then you sure as hell don't deserve to love them at their best. Horses arent always well behaved and can be dangerous but they DON'T deserve for us to hate them no matter what!

Love
A Girl With A Dream and Jake x

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...

Picture time Part one

Hiya Guys,  I can't say that I've really done much today other than finding myself sleeping lots. After the past week being quite stressful as well as the few weeks before leading up to the court date it's safe to say I've hit my barrier where all I really want to do is sleep. The problem is though that I am sleeping during the day and then it gets to 11pm roughly and I find myself wide awake and on my laptop looking for something to do that is going to make me feel sleepy. I've tried reading a book and I start to feel really sleepy but then the minute that I turn the light off and put the book down, bang, I'm wide awake again.  As I've not really done a lot I thought that I would take this opportunity to post some pictures up from the last time that I jumped Gatsby (also the first time I fell off him). Most of these pictures were taken by the boyfriend but some were also taken by my amazing mum. So here you go guys. :)  Really do love this pic...

Switching Sides.

You might think that this is a bit of a weird title post but by the end of this post it will become clear what it means. But before we move on to the riding part of my post, I'll do the everyday part.  To start with my mum had to take my dad to the doctors as he has been having a stiff neck and back and finding it really uncomfortable to move, they've referred him on to a physiotherapist. This afternoon I accompanied my mum on a business appointment. Early in the week she made three special hand made wedding cards for a family and the wedding invitations needed to be sent abroad so she only had two hours from the start til the end of the project.  They said that they would ring her back and sort out doing the rest of the cards. Today we went back to the same family and sorted out what we were doing for the bulk majority of wedding cards and then what we were doing for the other 10 Special cards for the same wedding. Now on to the riding, today I think that my riding w...
