Riding Lesson update

Hey guys

So ive just got back from my riding lesson and I had my boy Gatsby :') Love that pony he is great though I don't like his owner! Urghhh annoyed.com but more about that later.

So I rode Gatsby and did some canter work (there will be video's for you all) that I hope you enjoy hehe, feel free to tell me if you thing I need to improve things :) I always appreciate constructive criticism as my aim is to get better at what I do!

So below is a video of me and my boy Gatsby. He's the big black one and I'm the one that is wearing the pink top and beige jodhpurs :) So today we were working on getting better transitions for the dressage competition next week working going from walk to trot, trot to canter, halt to trot, halt to canter and then walk to canter. This wasn't easy because Gatsby doesn't like doing too many transitions and gets bad tempered when he has to work too much (or what I should say is when he thinks he's done too much work). But soon he'll be back jumping and I will be buzzing because he loves to Jump and so do i!

okay it wont let me put the video on sorry guys does anyone know how you do it??

But on yo my probably I told you guys about the competition that I was entering which would be next week only to find out that at the minute there are NO horses for me to ride as all the horses I ride are getting old and lame. Except for Gatsby, -.- so my teacher said that she would ask his owner whether it would be okay for me to use him (there excuse its an extra curricular activity so if his owner says no he doesnt have to do it! So guess what his owner said no! How annoying consider I ride him outside of term time which is extra curricular and I am allowed to do that so what the hell thats what i want to know! So now I've entered a competition that I really want to do that I can't even have a sodding horse for!

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...

Magic's 2nd day in his new home

It has been a while since I have posted on here but I thought it was the perfect time to restart the blog. So to start with I'll give you all an update on what's been going on over the years since I've posted and then I will be back to regularly posting and keeping you all updated on the world of magic. The first big change who I need to introduce is Jaxon, Jaxon is mine and Jack's 7 month old baby, he was born on the 7th July 2020. Part of this blog will be dedicated to overcoming the challenges of having a small child and owning a horse, even when everyone told me it was impossible to do. Jax has a best friend Bailey who is mums new 1 year old puppy and he has the best time trying to play with her. Of course Magic is one of Jaxon's best friends. Now for an update on Magic, he is doing really well, I can't remember if I ever told you, but he moved yards last year when I was pregnant with little man. Unfortunately this yard just didn't quite ...

Olympics - good bad or both?

In the Beijing Olympics in 2008 the horses used in the pentathlon were said to cause farcical scenes with fall after fall after fall. This was said to be the fault of the horses that were either hired or loaned to the competitors. It was not blamed to be rider error or a combination of both rider error and horse error, it was labelled as being the horses fault or this is what it said in ' Horse and Hound Magazine'. This horse was said to have been to spooky and sharp, but is it not a combination of rider's aids and rider error AS WELL as the horse being spooky. Can we really just blame it on the horse, when we are the ones that tell the horse what to do, by no means am i saying it was 'just the riders fault' couldn't it have been a combination of both?. For the London 2012 Olympics it was said that a total of two years if no longer was spent attempting to find the right horse for the right competitor. They made sure that the horse was at the right l...
