New Look - New Year - A Tad Late!

Okay so this is a little bit late but I have been wanting to do it since the new year, with the new year been and gone I decided that it was time to give my blog a new look. I've spent so long looking for a blogger template that I really liked and I couldn't find any until I stumbled across this one by accident and I decided that I really liked it. I think the thing that I liked the most about this template is that I could put a slider in, so I chose four of the pictures I have of Gatsby and make them in to a slider, so all you need to do to look at them is click the green arrow that it shows. Let me know what you guys think. Also it means that my slider can change depending on the time of the year and that kind of the thing making my blog a bit more seasonal! I think the only thing that I would change would be that this is a three column template not a tow column template, does anyone know if there is a way to decrease the amount of columns from three down to two?  

So far today I haven't really done a lot, I went for a walk with my Dad, as we have started walking Angel more, she's such a funny dog, all day she can lie around sleeping and then she hears the words 'walk' or 'lead' and she becomes the most active Dog in the world, sometimes you don't have to say the words she just looks at you and knows. It's pretty funny to watch, I love having a dog, they can cuddle you at night time, make you feel better, and share amazing memories with you. Angel was originally my sisters dog but at the time she had got two cats (she still has them) and wasn't well so she couldn't deal with Angel, so her dad rang my mum and asked if we would have Angel, mum agreed and we have had some funny moments, gotta love that puppy (even though she's not a puppy I always call her puppy). 

I forgot to put in my post yesterday that there was only going to be one post. Fiona didn't get as much interest as she had wanted in the workshop/clinics and the weather was really bad, so she decided that she wasn't going to do it yesterday but that she will do it on a nicer day, which I thought was really nice! I really like Fiona, it's taken a while but I think that I've found a riding teacher that I finally click with, she's not afraid to push me past my limits, but she doesn't push me to far which is something that I really like and respect. I want to be pushed harder and I think that because of my stomach problems and getting tired so easily that most riding teachers decide not to push me, where as Fiona pushes me a little bit harder each time and it really is improving my riding but also my stomach for other aspects of my life.

Last night the doctor came out to check up on my Nan as we were getting really worried about her breathing as she was getting to the point that she was basically hyperventilating, the doctor reassured her that her breathing and oxygen levels were okay (in fact they were better than mine and Nan's 85) and that the Anti-biotics were starting to work which was great. He also explained to Nan that the reason she gets so out of breath and the reason she finds it hard to breath is that basically her hearts not working properly. We are all hoping that when the infection is out of her lungs and that the water stops being stored in her body that her heart will go back to how it was before she had the two falls. Tomorrow her regular doctor will be coming out to see how she's doing so we will hopefully get a few more answers then. Her doctor is such a nice person and genuinely does care about her which is something that I can't say a lot of the doctors at our GP do.

I've also been losing some weight recently, other than one night I haven't been eating during the night which was my biggest problem but I also have been eating less during the day. I'm only having one big meal and small things to eat during the day for example cereal bars and things like that! I really do think that walking for longer and more frequently is making a big difference and when my Nan's better I'm hoping to get back in to swimming more often and regularly again! 

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,
