A day at the stables

This morning was time for me to get up and early and go up to the stables to help out. I had to be there for 8:30 and I was staying there til 10:30 we mucked out all the horses, cleaned there waters and put fresh in and then we filled the haynets and hung them up as well as filling the hay nets for tonight. when we had finished that we swept the yard and had finished 20 minutes early so I was talking to Elaine and Fiona about pony club. The launch day for pony club is Monday 29th April at 4;30 every 12 weeks there will be assessments towards badges. Well work through bronze the gold levels and then levels E to A and at either a or b we can do our stage three. Instead of having to do one, two and then three. I can't wait to do it, I've sent my pony club form off today.

Mum picked me up at 10:30. we then had to go to the other side if derby to dressmaker about my sixth form ball dress. To start with she didn't think she could do anything but when looking inside and seeing how big the seams were she thinks that she can let it out and Anything extra off the length of the dress can be used to create extra panels that will make it closer to the correct measurements. so hopefully it is going to fit by the time that she is done. My sister then came over to sit with my nan so that my mum could take me back to the stables. We took my nephew with me so that he could see the horses even though he kept calling them 'dogs' he also got to meet bliss the dog who sniff do him and let him stroke her and brody kept calling bliss 'a woof woof'.

When I got to the stables we bought all the horses in. Then had a cup of tea and while I was doing this the farrier came. While they got to work I groomed Gatsby and got him ready for his lesson after the girl rode him I got on him and rode time the next lesson person was in we worked in serpentines, sitting trot, and going over poles. It was really good he was responsive and active and I had fun riding him all though after paint balling yesterday I ache like helll. I untacked Gatsby and practiced plaiting his tail. I skipped out and then watched the farrier for a while. Gatsby had got another lesson so I tacked him back up and got him ready. While Gatsby was being ridden I groomed prince as he's not been clipped and was shedding like mad. We then checked and topped up their water, put in their night time hay net and gave them all their feed except for Gatsby as he was being rode. when the horses had finished I cleaned the feed buckets and then my mum came to get me when I left Gatsby was still having a lesson so I shouted by to Fiona and we went to the Chinese to get my tea.

That's all for now

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 luc...
