2nd Day of the new year.

Well so far this year there hasn't been any riding yet but on Friday I am going to be doing an own a pony day on my favourite horse of all time Gatsby! I have no idea what we will be doing but I plan on taking my camera with me so that anything I can photograph and mark the start of a new riding year and then on saturday i get to ride him again, and knowing how hard Fiona likes to push me I think we can safely say that by the end of the second day I'm going to be aching because I am only used to riding once a week. However sooner or later I'm going to have to get my body used to riding more than just for an hour on a Saturday and as weird as it is going to sound I can't wait for the hard work! It's going to be tough and a challenge for me with my stomach but to me it will be 100% worth it!

So Today I have spent some time reading my horse magazine that I get a subscription to and spent some time on my laptop as well as finally doing some work on my final piece, I have now finished all the black and white pencil part of my picture and then tomorrow I am going to do the pencil crayon colourful part of the picture and then other than maybe some lace print in the background my final piece will be done and I will post a picture for you all to see so I can get your opinions! I have also spent some time working on my A2 Art Journal that is part of the course and is compulsory, we have to write about our personal project why we chose it and the process that we have been through, it is 2000 words and so far I have got roughly 900 words, so only another thousand words to go!

I have also made my Final university choices today and sent off my replies to UCAS! On UCAS you have to make a firm choice and an insurance choice and then you decline the other universities that offer you a place. So my Obvious Firm Choice was Derby University, this is literally 5 miles from where I live, allowing me to live at home, be close to my riding and close to, (when I have my own horse) my horse. These were all things that I needed to think about both when applying to different universities but also when making my Final choice. When I got the offer my mum let Laurie one of the guys who works on that course but is currently off poorly know that I had been accepted and he was happy and looked forward to working with me as I had the drive that I needed to do well. I then put my Insurance choice as Staffordshire university to do Photojournalism, as they were such lovely people and it is a place that I would have liked to go however it was further away and I had already fall in love and made my mind up that I wanted to go to Derby. Then I declined the offers that I got from DeMontford at Leicester and the other course at Derby as the people on that course and the course content in general just wasn't for me.

Well Thats all from me for now, at least I think it is, I'll probably think of something later that I could of put in that I will put in tomorrow.

Until Next Time

A Girl With A Dream

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...

45. The move

6.45am - I got woke up, I was not happy to be woken up, I'd been dreaming about this move the whole night and I was beyond exhausted. I didn't go to sleep until quite late and then I was up, I'd set out all my clothes the night before for me and Jack so that we could just get up in the morning and go. 7am - Got to the yard, NOBODY was there which was exactly the way that I wanted it to be. I mucked out his stable at the old yard for the last time ever. I made sure that the stable was really clean and that I hadn't left anything in it. I loaded up the last few things in the car and we were ready to go. I received a lovely text from my riding teacher saying good luck today and that she knew that I would be fine, this gave me a real confidence boost as my riding teacher knows me better than anyone (horse wise) and she believed in me. Along with my mum, dad and boyfriend. Do you think we had enough hi-viz on I was taking no chance that magic was going to not be ...

My Dream Barn

So the other day I saw someone who did a post like this and thought why not, I might as well do one, even if I can't afford it I can still day dream, right? My dream barn would be open and spacious, I love the wood look and how natural it appears to be but can also look really fancy/sophisticated. I also like the idea of the stables being in a U shape with doors and windows facing inwards so all the horses can see each other. I love the stable image above, I love how lit up they are the wooden look to them and the way the stable doors are. I'd also like it so that some of the stables had runs going out the back so that the horse could choose whether to be inside or outside. I also really like how the bottom of the stable walls are a stone wall. If the stalls were inside I'd love them to look like this, I again love the wood look but I also really like how open everything is. I like how everyone can see everything and how it has the chance for the horses...

The way to heaven is on horseback
