WOOP first ride on Gatsby in almost a month

During the time where I couldn't ride I thought that it was the worst thing ever, I wanted to be riding more than anything because it meant the world to me, it was my thing my hobby and the thing that meant the most to me and it still is!

Today I woke up buzzing I was riding again and that was all that mattered, I wanted to ride Gatsby but it didnt matter who I rode as long as I got to rode that was the most important thing to me! Then I got there and Gatsby was being bought in from the field he was filthy, muddy legs mud everywhere, its a good job that he had got his rug on otherwise we would all be covered in mud from him! Then I looked at the ride list to see who I would be riding and I was buzzing because I had got the horse I wanted I had got GATSBY!

I expected to be nervous because it was jumping again and I hadn't rode in weeks so I didn't care that it was jumping normally I would be really stressed out because it was jumping, and I had come off Arthur whilest I was jumping so I had this mental bloke, but not today! By the end of the lesson I got told by Gemma that it was the best that she ever had seen me rode, and that by the end of it I was working with him more and predicting what he was going to do which apparently most riders can't do, I was so happy! here are some pictures for you all of me and my boy :P

Meet the Group me and Gatsby (the biggest) Emma and Billy (medium size) and Wera and Heather (smallest)

JUMPING! Blurry but i dont care

Gatsby loves jumping need to get my head up though!

Giving my boy a pat, while being framed by a jump

He added an extra stride inbetween this jump and the one before should have been 4 strides was 5!

Practicing my Light Seat

Because Gatsby loves to show off for the camera!

Because everyone else Canters over the pole Gatsby had to jump it!


And Last but not least another blurry one but I love seeing how good he looks jumping!

Well that's all the pictures from today! If i have learnt anything from this lesson it is that I DONT need to be nervous when it comes to jumping because I CAN do it I just need to have the confidence in myself and I am fine! The minute I get nervous things go wrong, but Gatsby will look after me and at the end of the day I don't need to be nervous because this is what I love doing, this is what makes me, well me! If I couldn't jump I don't know what I would do, I saw Emma when she was jumping today react exactly how I used to when things we're not going right when jumping and I just realised how stupid it is, because while I am stressing out I could be actually enjoying my time riding and at the end of the day thats all that should really matter! Don't you agree?

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...

Decisions!

I hate them, this all started yesterday when my dad said that the money that I had got could buy me a decent mini as I love mini's and really want one, my instant reaction was NO that money is meant for my horse riding and for me to be able to buy my own horse! My mum then said to my dad that he should have known that, that was the reaction that he was going to get from me. However I then started to really think about the idea, a mini would allow me to go different places to do with riding and not have to rely on mum or dad or fit around my brothers schedule, it would then mean that when I did have my own horse I would be able to get to it. So I started to look around on the internet at used mini's as there is no way that I would be able to afford a brand new one, and I saw a few that were a reasonable price and that I liked the look of but then came the problem the Mini one is mainly a 1.6Litre Engine, which would be over £1000 in insurance, so I started to look for a Mini On...

The way to heaven is on horseback
