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

possible broken hand x3.

hiya guys well it's been a few days and I was planning on updating you all today. Unfortunately I won't be able to go in to as much detail as I want to because I am having problems typing because it looks like for the third time I have broken my hand again!  In the exact same place, how rubbish is that? But they can't tell me because it will not show up for another two weeks on an X-ray so at the minute it's back in a splint and I've got to go back to hospital in two weeks.  Well Saturday I got to ride Gatsby again. We have been working on getting him in to an outline more consistantly but it took me seeing Fiona riding Pumpkin Pie for me to know what it was that I needed to do for Gatsby to work properly in to an outline. We got some really good work in the walk and trot (I have got pictures) and slowly we are starting to get it in the canter as well but by the time we move on to canter I tend to feel quite tired and weak on my left side. We did an exercise th

Hello strangers!

 Wow it feels like a life time ago since I updated my blog let alone since I actually started first writing this blog. So many things have changed and I’ve kept thinking about restarting this but every time I think about doing it life gets in the way and before you know it I just haven’t done it.  So where do I start, how about with the big fella himself. My midnight magic is now 8! He has a heart of gold and after a particularly rough year is definitely coming out of the other side. Magic is a jumping lover and if you let him pick I think that’s all he’d ever do. He’s spent a lot of time working on his flat work which in the long run has really helped to develop his jumping. Last year magic suffered a horrible injury, he damaged his suspensory ligament on his front left leg and on the same leg damaged the collateral ligament that goes to his coffin joint, unfortunately for him he had a pretty bleak prognosis, with only a 30% of being even field sound. With a little bit of luck, blood,
