If I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all, and bye bye Gatsby!

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 bad news is that Gatsby's owner turned up she's decided she's taking him home for the summer, and we don't know if he is coming back in September! That will be the worst thing if he doesn't come back because that horse means the world to me!

Then yesterday I was at my sisters because I had stopped at hers the night before and we went shopping in the morning and thought things we're getting better again, we had a great time shopping got matching outfits, and she was getting matching bedding to mine! It was all going perfect until we had the idea that we would go to Markeaton Park and taking Brody in a big paddling pool cause we thought that he would enjoy that (and that we could act like little kids) well when we first got in her car it started making weird noises that just seemed to be getting worse and there was a weird burning smell. Well when we parked, and put the car in neutral it made a massive bang and jumped forwards, and started smoking. So we rang my mum and she told us not to drive it and that she would come and pick us up! Then on the way back to my sisters, a 40foot lorry decided to drive in to the side of my mums car, and keep going, it broke the wing mirror, scratched all the side and put a dint in the other side of the car, but we were lucky not to be squished. Now as I'm sure that you all know, if this happens both drivers are supposed to stop and swap insurance information but he kept going, we spent 10 to 20 minutes trying to get him to stop and all he did was swear at my sister who was going mad because her 9 month old baby was in the car too!

One good thing that's happened is that Jordan's still being coming to see me, so I know that at least one of my mates care even if the others don't but that's there loss if they can't deal with me at my worst then they don't deserve to know me at my best! Another good thing is that I have managed to spend plenty of time playing and learning more about my bamboo wacom, which sooner or later I am playing to start using to draw all my ideas for my textiles! At the bottom of this post I will also attach a picture of my latest piece of work :). Also my blood test results have come back and are all clear which I know I should be happy about and thinking great that's a really good thing, but I am not because at the minute we still have no idea what has caused the problem with my liver, if it's gone and if it can come back!

Below is a picture that shows you some of the things that I can do, including shading, drawing, tonal area's, and skin tone type of things! The background isn't perfect and I am going to try and delete more of the marks but yeah this is one of my drawings. Hope you like it.

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...
