Finally County Show Update

So yesterday was Derbyshire County Show which I was just watching, not competing in, yet anyway! Hopefully when I have my own horse I will be, but that is a story for another time, right now its this years county fair that we should be talking about.

So we left at 8:30 in the morning to get there for roughly 9:00, I was supposed to be going with my mum, sister, nephew and her boyfriend, but they didnt go and I'm glad because I had a good time with my mum even though it was cold, windy and wet!

First of all we started off by watching some of the show jumping, there was some amazing horses and they all looked so good, they had amazing strides and jumped perfectly. I felt so sorry for this one girl because as the came up to this one jump the horse refused it and she got eliminated, but the wind was picking up at this point. Heres those pictures

Then we did some shopping and i got two new riding hoodies havent got pictures of them yet but i will do soon so will put them up when i have them. After that it was time to sit by the main ring ring and watch the monster trucks! One was called Big Pete and the other was called the Grim Reaper and the L plate was 'RIP BF' which made me laugh. Then it was time for the best part of the day THE ROCKING HORSE SHOW! The rocking horse show is a stunt group that was amazing it consists of four riders and then five horses, for me it is the highlight of the year and what i took the most pictures of! They did several different stunts the first one was riding two horses at the same time, and was done by the main guy Guido! Then he jumped two horses over a normal jump then over a jump of fire! After this they did stunts where they would lie across the horses back do shoulder stands, jumping on and off whilest in gallop that type of thing. The funnies thing was when the other guy Dan (its two girls and two guys) tried to be pulled by horse on a skate board, the first time the horse snapped the strap he then tried again and let go of what he needed to hold, and had to wait for the horse to gallop all the way to the others as the horse would be running on its own! It was so funny to watch but got annoyed when he kicked his horse when he wasnt on it! Was not happy! I then met all the other guys from the show, at the end when we went to stroke the horses, and i said to Guido ohhh hes so cute, he replied 'Yeah so cute rearing up on me' which made me laugh now on to the pictures again :)

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...

45. The move

6.45am - I got woke up, I was not happy to be woken up, I'd been dreaming about this move the whole night and I was beyond exhausted. I didn't go to sleep until quite late and then I was up, I'd set out all my clothes the night before for me and Jack so that we could just get up in the morning and go. 7am - Got to the yard, NOBODY was there which was exactly the way that I wanted it to be. I mucked out his stable at the old yard for the last time ever. I made sure that the stable was really clean and that I hadn't left anything in it. I loaded up the last few things in the car and we were ready to go. I received a lovely text from my riding teacher saying good luck today and that she knew that I would be fine, this gave me a real confidence boost as my riding teacher knows me better than anyone (horse wise) and she believed in me. Along with my mum, dad and boyfriend. Do you think we had enough hi-viz on I was taking no chance that magic was going to not be ...

My Dream Barn

So the other day I saw someone who did a post like this and thought why not, I might as well do one, even if I can't afford it I can still day dream, right? My dream barn would be open and spacious, I love the wood look and how natural it appears to be but can also look really fancy/sophisticated. I also like the idea of the stables being in a U shape with doors and windows facing inwards so all the horses can see each other. I love the stable image above, I love how lit up they are the wooden look to them and the way the stable doors are. I'd also like it so that some of the stables had runs going out the back so that the horse could choose whether to be inside or outside. I also really like how the bottom of the stable walls are a stone wall. If the stalls were inside I'd love them to look like this, I again love the wood look but I also really like how open everything is. I like how everyone can see everything and how it has the chance for the horses...

The way to heaven is on horseback
