Day one of a busy weekend.

I didn't wake up today until jst before I had got my lesson with Gatsby recently I haven't been sleeping well so I asked my mum if I slept in to wake me up as late as possible. I drove to west hallam riding centre without stalling which was great. It started off well then I got to spend time riding Gatsby and he was so sweet because he doesnt like things near his face however he let me put my poorly early against his cheek and for a while we just stood there as it was making the pain feel less he was blocking the cold. as silly as it sounds it was like he knew my ear was hurting me. 

When we got on it felt so good to be back in the saddle after having a week off. You could tell that I had had a week off. When we started off we spent some time working long and low getting the horses to really stretch we stayed in the walk for about 15 minutes picking up an outline towards the end he was a lite bit lazy but we changed that by doing lots of transitions it was really good. We made sure when doing the transitions he stayed in an outline. We then moved on to doing some rising trot. Now for some reason I was really struggling to get Gatsby in to an outline I think this was because I'm still having problems with my left leg but it is definitely looser than it was. Eventually I did get some nice outline work but you could tell that it was going to be one of those days that I struggled to do it. We moved on to doing some riding without stirrups working mainly in sitting trot but making sure to do plenty of transition and guess what without my stirrups it was so easy to get Gatsby into an outline. he just did it. He felt good but I think that he could have been more forward but after having a week off I was just glad to be back in the saddle. My horse time made me feel so much more chilled out and relaxed. It was great. I then went for a drive with my mum and did some reversing and driving without stalling. 

When we got back my sister was here so I spent some time with her but then mum took my nephew Brody in to the garden so I went with her to take some pictures and give my sister and my nan some time alone. I got some really nice photos that will be in a post that I do tomorrow. After they left I went for another drive as I needed to put some petrol in my car. My uncle came to and other than Evie it was the first trip I did out with another person in my car other than my mum. When we got back he said that I did really well with my gear changes and that my driving was fairly smooth this made my day as I know my driving hasn't been great recently. 

Tonight we have no night sitter for my nan so both my uncles are stopping for the night and I dear say that my mum will be up all night keeping an eye on my mum. Tomorrow my sister is coming over again to visit my nan as the doctors have confirmed that she hasn't got many days left to live. My mums agreed that if anything happens during the night she will wake me up but she will also ring my sister so that she can come over. Tomorrow Evie is also coming around we are going to look at some hairstyles for the sixth form ball and practice make up ideas on each other I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures of that to come. In the early afternoon I am also going to do some more revision as I just really want to do well and prove to everyone that I can do well in exams.

In the next post I do there will be videos of my riding, pictures of my cat and pictures of my family from the past few days. It'll be a picture filled post with not many words in it. 

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...

Picture time Part one

Hiya Guys,  I can't say that I've really done much today other than finding myself sleeping lots. After the past week being quite stressful as well as the few weeks before leading up to the court date it's safe to say I've hit my barrier where all I really want to do is sleep. The problem is though that I am sleeping during the day and then it gets to 11pm roughly and I find myself wide awake and on my laptop looking for something to do that is going to make me feel sleepy. I've tried reading a book and I start to feel really sleepy but then the minute that I turn the light off and put the book down, bang, I'm wide awake again.  As I've not really done a lot I thought that I would take this opportunity to post some pictures up from the last time that I jumped Gatsby (also the first time I fell off him). Most of these pictures were taken by the boyfriend but some were also taken by my amazing mum. So here you go guys. :)  Really do love this pic...

Switching Sides.

You might think that this is a bit of a weird title post but by the end of this post it will become clear what it means. But before we move on to the riding part of my post, I'll do the everyday part.  To start with my mum had to take my dad to the doctors as he has been having a stiff neck and back and finding it really uncomfortable to move, they've referred him on to a physiotherapist. This afternoon I accompanied my mum on a business appointment. Early in the week she made three special hand made wedding cards for a family and the wedding invitations needed to be sent abroad so she only had two hours from the start til the end of the project.  They said that they would ring her back and sort out doing the rest of the cards. Today we went back to the same family and sorted out what we were doing for the bulk majority of wedding cards and then what we were doing for the other 10 Special cards for the same wedding. Now on to the riding, today I think that my riding w...
