New car and mad electrics

Well as some of you will know mum wasn't happy in her old car after two accidents one that included a lorry driving into the side of my mums car with my mum, my sister, my nephew, and I in the car. So her and my dad decided it was time for a new car so mum started looking on the internet and decided that she quite liked Nissan. To start with she liked the X-trail but soon decided that she preferred the Nissan QashQai (I swear that's hard to spell). So the day after she had found one we liked we drove up to check it out and make sure she really liked it  and she did, so a week ago (just before all the snow came) my mum, brother and I drove up to fetch it and it is such a comfy car and the plus side Mum's going to be able to pull a horse trailer but we will come to that later.

Mum decided that with my brother being a huge bike fan and taking his £2000 bike everywhere, as well as mum needing to take his mates and their bikes places, that she was going to get a bike rack, this was a huge accomplishment for me to because to do this mum decided that she wanted a bike rack that attaches to a tow bar :) which means that mum is officially going to be able to tow a horse box when I have my own horse so excited!!!!! But the car didn't come with a tow bar so mum had to get one fitted so on monday we booked it in to be done and it took five hours and was finished by the end of the day. 

Then on the way back the radio literally started having a mind of it's own, it was tuning its self, changing stations, clicking like when you press it but no one was pressing it, and if you tried to stop it then that just made it even worse. So mum booked it in to go back to where the tow bar was fitted because our logic was they've done something with the electrics and thats affecting it. So mum and I sat for two hours with nothing to do and in the cold work shop, the next day while they went over all there wearing and it was all right. Strange! Then we discovered that any where on the centre panel below the radio, above the radio, by the hand break, by the gear stick if you even touched it, it triggered off the whole radio thing and the same happens if you went over a bump. They then found wiring that was disconnected at both ends and was going no where, but it was still attached to the loom of the car. Then something even weirder turned up, while the electrician was looking at the car (its an automatic) they found a third pedal hmmm odd, and when the third pedal came down the accelerator went up and it was still attached to the engine :S. Now surely this is dangerous? You could accidently lower the left pedal switching where the accelerator is think your pressing the break and your not your accelerating, it could cause an accident. So mum rang where we got the car up from and to cut a long story short, we've got a hire car and her car is back at the garage attempting to sort out the mess that is the electrics.

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,
