why I ride and what it means to me?

Hey my loyal followers :)

I decided to let you all in on why I tide and what it means to me, and why it's so important. I've been riding for about 10/11 years now, and I'm still riding everyone thought that it would be something I did for a while and gave up on like i did on most other sports but that never happened, I've stuck at it and kept working hard, because I know what I want to do.

To me riding isn't just a sport, it's a passion, its something that means the world to me but it is also something that is completely indescribable because the feeling it creates the minute I'm even near a horse or think about a horse I know that its something I could never stop doing. I could never stop doing it and plan on doing this my entire life! But I'm going to try my hardest and put it in to words so you can know a little bit more about me and why I do what I do.

I might not be the best rider in the world or the most natural rider in the world. But I have no intention of ever giving up on my dream of having my own horse that I can show and compete. Thats been my dream since I was little and one day that dream will come a reality maybe I'll have to wait longer than my 18th birthday but one day I'll have my own horse!

I ride because of the joy that the animals bring me, and the feeling of working together with an animal that doesn't have to work with us but chooses to allow us to ride them. They are gorgeous and magnificent creatures and also much stronger than us but they still let us learn on them, and they still let us ride them there strong enough to not let us do that. My relationship with the horses is what means the most to me not the riding but the relationship because without that relationship we wouldnt get the best out of the horse and it wouldn't be fair. It's the fact that such a magnificent animal respects us and trusts us enough to take care of them and tha'ts what means the most to me! The faith the animals have in us is something that is completely indescribable no matter how hard I try I just cant put it into words!

Yes I love riding because it's a good way to keep fit but it means so much more to me than that. Its not just a hobby that at some point ill get bored of it's my life and my biggest passion. Riding means the world to me and always will do! I ride because I love horses and because I love the feeling. Sure putting your trust in such a magnificent animal might be hard but at the end of the day that doesnt matter to me because horses trust us so we should trust them. I have 100percent confidence in my riding and trust in the horses. Sure I'm less confident on some horses but thats part of riding, and is a way that we can get better at what we do.

Hope this give you guys more insight in to why I ride and just how truly important this is to me.

Until Next Time

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...
