University and horses

An action packed day today, this morning I had an interview at the university, because of my long term chronic pain I am entitled to disability students allowance. So I had to have an interview for it the only downside was that the interview lasted two hours. I drove there and my mum drove my car home then she came back to get me at the end of the interview. The person who was asking the questions was really nice because she made things very informal it was like having a chat with somebody. She had to ask all about my stomach and what I've done to help keep my stomach pain down but to keep studying to my maximum capabilities. In the end we came up with a really good plan the first thing that we have put in to plan are, for my lectures and seminars I will have a digital verse record so that I can record things ans play them back to myself this is something that I think will be really helpful, to go with this is a computer software called inspiration. This software is good for plotting photo shoots and essays. I can create my mind maps, spider diagrams etc and add my photographs to them as well as voice notes from the lectures. I also will get a programme that is to help with proof reading and things like this. The programme will read to you what you have typed and do loads of other really clever thinsg for for example if you highlight something and click search it will open up an Internet Web Page. The icing on the cake is that I will also be getting as long as it is approved an apple I mac. This is all really exciting things at the minute.  

I then drove my sister and nephew back to my house and just chilled at home for a bit. The it was time for my first ponyclub meeting. We are working on the grooming badge so keep got to spend an hour grooming Gatsby and really making him shine I loved it and I also got to make him glitter this was because Elaine had got a tube of glitter to use on the horses. It was so fun. We then did a quiz at the end and Jaimie Leigh and I got all the questions right. I got to turn Gatsby out and because I had spent ages grooming him the first thing that he did was run around and roll in the dirt.

I'm going to end this post with some pictures because I'm feeling really tired so tomorrow i will go in to more detail about how pony club went with the lovely Gatsby. 

As promised pictures of my drive and where I have to park on the picture below you can see what I mean about it being a tight space to park in. It is really difficult. 

You can just see a tiny part of my car hiding behind the hedge out of all of us inbthe house I have the hardest place to park in 

lastly one very shiny Gatsby 


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...

Magic's 2nd day in his new home

It has been a while since I have posted on here but I thought it was the perfect time to restart the blog. So to start with I'll give you all an update on what's been going on over the years since I've posted and then I will be back to regularly posting and keeping you all updated on the world of magic.  The first big change who I need to introduce is Jaxon, Jaxon is mine and Jack's 7 month old baby, he was born on the 7th July 2020. Part of this blog will be dedicated to overcoming the challenges of having a small child and owning a horse, even when everyone told me it was impossible to do. Jax has a best friend Bailey who is mums new 1 year old puppy and he has the best time trying to play with her.  Of course Magic is one of Jaxon's best friends.  Now for an update on Magic, he is doing really well, I can't remember if I ever told you, but he moved yards last year when I was pregnant with little man. Unfortunately this yard just didn't quite ...

Olympics - good bad or both?

In the Beijing Olympics in 2008 the horses used in the pentathlon were said to cause farcical scenes with fall after fall after fall. This was said to be the fault of the horses that were either hired or loaned to the competitors. It was not blamed to be rider error or a combination of both rider error and horse error, it was labelled as being the horses fault or this is what it said in ' Horse and Hound Magazine'. This horse was said to have been to spooky and sharp, but is it not a combination of rider's aids and rider error AS WELL as the horse being spooky. Can we really just blame it on the horse, when we are the ones that tell the horse what to do, by no means am i saying it was 'just the riders fault' couldn't it have been a combination of both?.    For the London 2012 Olympics it was said that a total of two years if no longer was spent attempting to find the right horse for the right competitor. They made sure that the horse was at the right l...
