Thought I'd Give it a go.

Hey Everyone, 

Today I'm doing something a bit different, on some blogs I have seen a survey going around and thought that I would give it a go. 




Splurge or save: 

1) saddle: save! find a good saddle that is a decent price, and comfortable for both you and the horse.
2) board: Save. Find a board that is a good price, with good facilities.
3) halter: Splurge, its important that it's comfy for the horse to wear, will last a long time and looks good. I love the Halters with the sheepskin/fluffy inside lining.
4) bit:  save
5) bridle:  Splurge, a bridle that looks good, and has a bit of bling but is practical at the same time.
6) saddle pad: Save, theres lots of adoreable saddle pads, that don't cost a fortune.
7) trailer: Not saving but not splurging either a trailer that is in the middle, with good facilities but not to expensive.

First thing that comes to mind: 

1) Haflinger: gorgoeus main and tale.
2) Quarter Horse: slow and well built.
3) Thoroughbred: greet breading
4) Warmblood: a breed that you can mix with an irish draught to create an irish sport horse.
5) Welsh Cob: Adoreable

This or That:

1) english or western: English
2) tall or short: Tall, love riding the bigger horses.
3) trail ride or beach ride: Beach, love the idea of running along the sea.
4) long mane or short mane: Depends on the breed, love long flowing mains though.
5) hunters or jumpers: Jumpers, love the idea of hunting but don't think it's my thing.  
6) XC or barrel racing: Cross Country, I love the adrenaline and the speed, and the all round fun factor.
7) outdoor arena or indoor arena: Both, I love the outdoor Arena during the summer (getting a nice tan while riding) but i love the indoor arena with lights for those cold dark winter evening.
8) trot or canter: Canter
9) canter or gallop: Canter, I've never really Galloped before, but think I'm still not quite balanced for that yet.
10) paddock boots, tall boots, or cowboy boots: I love the look of cowboy boots, but I love riding in my long boots, they keep my legs nice and warm during the winter :') But not too hot in the summer.
11) horse shoes or barefoot: Gatsby is both barefoot and got horse shoe's haven't really got a preference.
12) saddle or bareback: I have never really rode bareback so for the minute I have to say Saddle
About you: 
1) How long have you been riding? Since I was 6 I'm now 17 so 11 years.
2) Do you own or lease a horse? Neither, I ride Gatsby at a riding school, he's my lesson horse but I love him to bits.
3) Breed? Age? Height? Name? (if you don’t own or lease, you could talk about your lesson horse) Gatsby: Irish Draught, 13 and 16.3hh
4) Do you have any other pets? Yep a dog that lives inside shes a shih tzu and is my mums dog, then I feed two cats that live outside.
5) If your horse was a person, what kind of voice would they have (you can use a celebrity for an example) Ermmmm not really sure, probably the friendly, gentleman kind of voice if that makes sense, not too deep and not to high kind of in the middle if that makes sense.

6) Does your horse have a “color”? If so, what is it, and what do you have in that color? He doesn't have a coulor he has a blue and pink grooming kit, and quite a few things in purple mainly rugs.
7) Does your horse do any tricks? Twists his head around to touch his shoulder, and puts his head down to the floor almost bowing for treats.
8) Have you ever dressed your horse up for Halloween?  Nope, can't say that I have.

Favorites: 
1) Breed? Irish Draught/Irish Sports Horse.
2) Discipline? Dressage! 
3) Coat color? Love Piebald, black and chocolate brown.
4) Famous horse? Gatsby and Jake (that I ride), but then I love the horses out of films like black beauty.
5) Horse race/competition? Don't have a favourite but I love watching all horse events.
6) Brand of tack? Dont really have one
7) Thing to do with your horse?  ANYTHING! I love practicing dressage with Gatsby, grooming him, talking to him just sitting with him. Basically EVERYTHING and ANYTHING! 
Until Next Time

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...

Switching Sides.

You might think that this is a bit of a weird title post but by the end of this post it will become clear what it means. But before we move on to the riding part of my post, I'll do the everyday part.  To start with my mum had to take my dad to the doctors as he has been having a stiff neck and back and finding it really uncomfortable to move, they've referred him on to a physiotherapist. This afternoon I accompanied my mum on a business appointment. Early in the week she made three special hand made wedding cards for a family and the wedding invitations needed to be sent abroad so she only had two hours from the start til the end of the project.  They said that they would ring her back and sort out doing the rest of the cards. Today we went back to the same family and sorted out what we were doing for the bulk majority of wedding cards and then what we were doing for the other 10 Special cards for the same wedding. Now on to the riding, today I think that my riding w...
