Theory Tests, Blood Tests and Equine Nutrition Tests!

Today I have done absolutely nothing, I slept in this morning not getting up til lunch time because I was feeling rough, (my nephew had a stomach bug when I went over to stop last week and I think I've got some of that) and when I did get up I spent time doing last week's work on my Equine Nutrition course and tomorrow I will start this weeks, unfortunately this is the last week but then March 25th I'll be starting a photography course!

My mum had to take my Brother to have some blood tests as they want to keep an eye on his white blood cells (I think) and she tried to take him to our local blood test clinic in the morning but they changed their starting times, so she was taking him to our main hospital in the afternoon and as my Dad was at work and my Uncle was away today I said that I would stay in and look after Nan. She slept the majority of the time other than when her phone rang and then she woke up. Just before my mum got in she asked me to make her a boiled egg with toast and butter and then a cup of tea, I'm starting to get pretty good at making cups of tea and also at making boiled eggs, speaking of eggs, I really fancy one maybe for my breakfast tomorrow? Tomorrow my Nan has to have more x-rays and go back to the fracture clinic and then on Friday she has to go in for the entire day to have a whole load of more tests run and to see the consultant so maybe this will give her some more answers and make her feel happier to get out of bed and sit in her sitting room, but who knows? Not me!

Today Fiona had the area representative from Pony Club coming out to the stables to check that she had got everything in place to be able to start doing pony club. Then Fiona's got to order some things in and after this Pony Club should be starting soon, I'm so excited and really just can't wait to do it and get to learn more. Gatsby's got the chiropractor coming out to him soon to check that his back is okay and then when we know whether it is or not, Fiona is going to look at getting him a new dressage saddle. Which I think will be fun to ride in. I've got a lesson on Saturday and Jamie-Leigh should be back in our group lesson as I think she'll have done her exam by then!

In other day to day news Friday I will be booking my Theory test and for the past week each night I have been doing an hour reading the highway code and doing some online tests. I've been passing the online tests for the Theory, but I also need to remember to practice 'Hazard Perception' tests as I think that this will be my downfall so tomorrow I am going to look some up online and give them ago!

Now I'm back off to read a book.

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...

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...
