YAY i have got my new jacket!

Well my new jacket arrived last night, but things got really busy so I wasn't able to post anything about it before and this is the first chance that I have got to come on my blog, update my posts and look at what everyone else has been up to. 

So first of all when my jacket came, I got my mum to bring it down to my at school because I was cold but also because I was just super excited to get my new jacket, and I love it! When I first got it and put it on I realised that it wasn't as warm as I first thought it was going to be, but it was really comfy. The jacket is bright pink and from the picture I thought that it was going to be the thickness of a Bronte riding jacket, but it wasn't so for anyone that thinks about looking in to buying this it isn't as warm as it looks. I think it looks warmer because it is quilted. Then at the collar it has a big collar, you'll see what I mean from the pictures that I am putting in this post, and the inside of the collar was ribbed I think and then the outside was the quilted material. The cuffs and around the bottom of the jacket (the waist) there was also ribbing. If people are thinking about buying this they need to take into consideration that it is VERY tight fitting, it warns you on the website, but I would recommend that anyone gets the jacket in a size bigger than they normally would be, because it's snug fitting, fortunately my mum took this in to consideration so I did this and it was just the right fit for me. I haven't tried riding in it just yet but I am hoping to ride in it this weekend, infact tomorrow. So I will let you all know how comfy it is to wear when riding grooming etc. 

Gatsby has finally been clipped, but unfortunately he was the scared of the clippers that when Fiona went to clip him he reared up on her. So Fiona had to buy a sedative so that she would be able to clip him. She told me that she was buying the sedative last weekend and that she would be doing it this weekend and he has had it done today.  So tomorrow you will be able to see how he has been clipped, and I can't wait to see myself! Now onto the pictures so you can see what the jacket is like. 

This shows the front of the jacket, the ribbing on the collar and the cuff. It doesn't show the quilting too well.

Showing off the big collar, the outside in rasberry pink, and then the navy blue zip and you can just see the lining peeping through which is also navy blue and says 'Equi-theme' on it.

Back of the Jacket showing the big collar, and showing the ribbing, this also shows better that the jacket doesn't come to hip level for those of you that are used to longer jackets, this does finish on the waist.

More to show the length and the appliqued on shield above the shield it says '1985' and then below it on the banner type thing it said 'Equi theme' will take a better picture of it tomorrow.

Other side of the jacket, showing the plain side, with no applique on this also shows off better the length of the jacket.

Bigger picture of the jacket, showing off the blue lining and the pocket, the flap does up with a popper, but that is not how you undo it, to undo it you open the zip that is above it. 
Until Next Time

    Gatsby used to be okay with them so we think something happened when he was kept at Broomfield (the place he was at before he moved) xx

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...

Just as you think things are getting better they prove not to be.

On Sunday in the Early hours of the morning my nan took another fall, while she was trying to go to the toilet, (she has an en suite so it wasn't a long way for her to walk but she went all dizzy and then fell), and as she has a small compact bathroom she hit her head on the side of the bath. Today we had the Doctor out to see her and he was worried with the fact that her blood pressure drops so low when she stands up and when following the doctors finger when looking to the right her eye was jerking side ways but not to the left. So he said he wanted her to go in to a Day case unit and have a whole load of tests including a brain scan, blood tests and chest x-rays. He wrote a cover note/letter and my Uncle took my nan to the doctors. While she was there she had an ECG, blood tests and chest x-rays but no brain scan which was the most important one that she needed. They then told her that her blood pressure was fine but it was her heart that they were worried about. She never had ...

an intense few days.

The past few days have been INTENSE to say the least. Both days have been filled with horsey madness and while I am aching now I feel good for managing to accomplish everything that I have done. There will be some video's soon but I honestly just haven't got around to uploading them and editing them so as soon as I do that I'll let you know and you can all see. Yesterday I went up to do Magic, after all the ponies nearly escaped from the field I eventually managed to convince him to come and do some work. He had a really nice groom and fuss, which he LOVED. Then I put his bridle with his new reins on, and his lunge cavesson (not sure if I have spelt that right), we lunged nicely for both ways doing walk, trot and canter. Then out of no where going to the right he exploded. I couldn't see anything that had happened so assumed he was just having one of his moments and that he would be fine and calm down, but that I might need to free school him first. So I did what I...
