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

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,
