The way to heaven is on horseback

Hi y'all, how you guys doing?  So today was the final phase of the eventing both team eventing and individual eventing. Congratulations to Germany who came in first place, winning the Gold medal, while I wish that this was Team GB, that won Germany had stunning horses, and did extremely well so congratulations to them! Team GB managed to grab hold of the Silver medal and KEEP IT and in third Place was New Zealand, it was a tense moment watching to see whether Team GB would make it or not but with Tina Cook, Mary King, William Fox-Pitt, Zara Phillips and Nicola Wilson. Team GB did well in the individual eventing 5 th Place - Mary King, Closely in 6th place - Tina Cook. Finally in 8th Place - Zara Phillips.  I think that the team did really well and it makes me proud  to be British somethings will never change! Horses are great. Truly do make my day hearing about horses.  Moving on so today I have been working on making some new curtains they are going to be c...

In my earlier post I forgot to tell you all that I am going back upto Broomfield on Friday only for the morning, cause I'm still pretty ill and HOPEFULLY I am going to get to ride tooo! <3

Hey y'all I'm managing to update my blog like I promised. With the help of my mum who tells me when I don't double check my spellings, and when things don't make sense! Thank You Mummy. Well today it was the dreaded day of the blood test! I had to have one to check that my liver was working properly, unfortunately I've had 3/4 in the last month so this time it really hurt, and it also hurts more because of how deep the vein is! Trust me to have difficult veins hey?  Secondly I want to thank you all for sticking by and following me when I haven't been able to update as much as I would like to have, but now I plan to keep telling you more, even if it is just about everyday things that go on. Moving on to the better part of my blog, the part that I know you all love the HORSES! After all that is what we all love and are here about! So who's being watching the olympics? For those of you who haven't here's an update!  Today it has been cross ...

hey guys I was just wondering, if you could suggest any blogs for me to follow that you find particularly fascinating and learn a lot from!  Also if you could tell me more of what you want to see on my blog? Let me know so I can make my reading for you guys more enjoyable :'D *yawns* going to take that as my que to head to bed!  Night everybody :')  Remember anything you believe in is possible!

Woop I am finally managing to update you all on everything that is going on even though at this moment in time it is not horse related but hopefully it will be soon! Well what have I done today the shorter answer is not a lot well it didn't seem like a lot but geez I'm knackered today, last night I went to sleep between 3 and 3:30am I just couldn't get to sleep and me and my mum must have checked on little Brody a thousand times during the night to make sure that he was sleeping well and sure enough he was doing. He slept from 6pm all the way through to 7:20am this morning! Clever Little guy - sleep while you can, I like the way he thinks. Then this Morning I woke up at 10:30 I know late but the later the better is my thoughts! When I woke up I spent some time playing with Brody and then we shared some Pringles (he loves them almost as much as me ;). After that we got him ready for his lunch and I fed him his baby food today it was ' Fruity Chicken Casserole' and...

Hey Guys as I promised an update :)  I'm still missing Gatsby like mad hate not being able to ride and hate not knowing where he is! Hoping my dad will be able to find out where he is some time soon! Well who else has been watching the olympics? It was dressage today that will be continued tomorrow morning, not everyone in my family is a huge riding fan like me, my nan who used to breed horses didn't even watch it! But my dad let me watch two hours of it here and there, and I loved it saw some gorgeous horses. Tomorrow the days kicking off with Zara Philips that will be a must see I think, as she isn't riding the famous Toy Town does anyone know who it is now?  How are all your countries doing? It's more dressage tomorrow followed by cross country in the afternoon I do believer though it could possible be show jumping Well today it's going to seem like I've done a lot but I have had a good day, even though I am aching a lot, it has been good. So this mo...

 First of all I want to say sorry AGAIN, for not updating as often as I want too! I am going to try and update everyday from now on, even if they are only short one line things, but at least you will all know that I haven't disappeared off the planet of the earth!   Well I thought once I was out of hospital things were going to get better especially for my riding, I was starting to plan all the things that I wanted to do with him over the summer because I thought that he was going to be at Broomfield so that I could ride him, it was all planned, I wanted to work on riding with out stirrups and staying confident, and also on trying to get back to being able to ride Arthur without having any problems, well that can happen but my plan for Gatsby that's not going to happen! The day after or might have been two days after I was out of hospital I thought that I would go and see Lauren and say hello to Gatsby even if I couldn't ride him, not exactly much to ask for is it? The...

First of all i would like to say sorry to you all for not updating as frequently as I was doing I know i haven't been on a while, but do have a good reason. Well the past week has been rather hectic but I've decided to sit down with my laptop and update you all which could take quite a while. Back in April I started being extremely sick and this lasted for about 12 days, during which I had two anti-sickness injections and ever since then I've had good days and bad days where i start being sick and then the next day i will be fine again. Well not the monday just gone but two mondays before that I started being sick again! On the Thursday of that week I got put on a tablet called Nefapam, which unfortunately made things worse, is it caused me to not be able to sleep, and also to get horrible pins and needles all up and down my legs and arms. This lasted up until Sunday morning where my mum rang the out of hours doctors and I went to the walk-in clinic where all they told me...

just wanted to let you all know that I have updated my photo diary page, for the first time in a while so head over and take a look at is :)

Hey guys okay so this is just a quick one while its the break in Geordie Shore tomorrow i will update you all fully, sorry that I have not updated in a while unfortunately I have spent the past week in hospital with stomach pains,  and have come home with a whole load of medication, while tell you all more about that tomorrow unfortunately this means that I have not been able to see Gatsby but I am hoping to be back riding again soon and then I will have even more to tell you all :) Until then A Girl With A Dream

Sorry that it has taken so long to post something not had the best week, with being ill the past two days and spending all day in a&e with my sister, who ended up getting that fed up that she told the doctor, what she wanted the doctor said 'we will see' and then came back with a prescription for them, can tell you that was a nightmare, when the two of us hate dealing with hospitals! But the plus side was that I got to see my big sister, who I adore spending time with and also that I got to see my cute little nephew, who is one of the best things around, hes so funny to watch and has some really funny faces, and he can say my name! which is always a good thing. So i've not done much riding but I have been doing a lot of looking on line and have fallen in love with a new brand of riding clothes that I have got two hoodies from thats called, 'Rydale'. Don't know if anyone's got any opinions or comments on 'Rydale' Riders clothes but if you have l...

okay so yesterday was my last official riding lesson of the year as the college has now ended and I was riding Gatsby! I should have been riding Arthur but after having a mental breakdown at the thought of jumping him lauren suggested that I rode Gatsby. Gemma didnt tell us until we were on that we would be doing cross country practice all though this was indoor, this involved us learning how to do a cross country canter and how to take the jumps as a stride not preparing for them and then making it a individually movement. So to start with Gatsby seemed quite lazy, there was nothing overly active about him, but then as the lesson moved on and the more transitions that we did the more awake he became, we did a jump that was a corner that was basically three wings, and three poles, two wings on one side and one on the other side, and then the three of them spread out making them look effectively look like a spread. We then also did a normal jump but with the plastic jump block things ...
