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

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 luck, blood,
