pictures of gatsby

hey everyone as promised after I updated my blog last time I said I was going to put some pictures up so here they are, hopefully you'll all be able to see how much better Gatsby looks now than he used to look.

Gatsby looking all shiny, this horse is a miracle worker, the first time I rode him was in the pitch black, cold, freezing my butt off in Broomfields new indoor school, and we did a dressage competition together. From the first time I rode him I knew that he was doing to be a horse that I get on with, and now here we are 7-8 months later and I'm still riding him, I even changed schools to ride with him. I trust this horse 100%

Cleaning his muddy legs so hes all shiny everywhere.

Stroking Gatsby he has one ear forward and the other back, he really doesnt like people near his face and his ears, but he trusts me not to hurt him and I never will.

Gatsby is the Centre of attention :') Looking good

'Real Amber don't you have enough pics of me' he was being mardy because I was trying to get the mud out of his main and it didn't want to come out :(.

I just LOVE this picture!

Trotting with a Gatsby, just need to work on getting my leg to stay in the right place, I will get there eventually.

My riding teacher showing us how to get a horse to work in an outline something I had never done until riding where I ride now, and while it's one of the hardest thing to get your head around. I think eventually I'll figure it out.  



Until Next Time

    Gatsby is gorgeous!!!! Black is my favorite color in horses and I have a soft spot for horses like him with a star and snip. I used to ride a horse that looked just like him and I still miss him! What breed is he?

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...

possible broken hand x3.

hiya guys well it's been a few days and I was planning on updating you all today. Unfortunately I won't be able to go in to as much detail as I want to because I am having problems typing because it looks like for the third time I have broken my hand again!  In the exact same place, how rubbish is that? But they can't tell me because it will not show up for another two weeks on an X-ray so at the minute it's back in a splint and I've got to go back to hospital in two weeks.  Well Saturday I got to ride Gatsby again. We have been working on getting him in to an outline more consistantly but it took me seeing Fiona riding Pumpkin Pie for me to know what it was that I needed to do for Gatsby to work properly in to an outline. We got some really good work in the walk and trot (I have got pictures) and slowly we are starting to get it in the canter as well but by the time we move on to canter I tend to feel quite tired and weak on my left side. We did an exercise th...

Hello strangers!

 Wow it feels like a life time ago since I updated my blog let alone since I actually started first writing this blog. So many things have changed and I’ve kept thinking about restarting this but every time I think about doing it life gets in the way and before you know it I just haven’t done it.  So where do I start, how about with the big fella himself. My midnight magic is now 8! He has a heart of gold and after a particularly rough year is definitely coming out of the other side. Magic is a jumping lover and if you let him pick I think that’s all he’d ever do. He’s spent a lot of time working on his flat work which in the long run has really helped to develop his jumping. Last year magic suffered a horrible injury, he damaged his suspensory ligament on his front left leg and on the same leg damaged the collateral ligament that goes to his coffin joint, unfortunately for him he had a pretty bleak prognosis, with only a 30% of being even field sound. With a little bit of luc...
