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...

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...
