Horse Time yesterday and a day out today

Yesterday Morning I got up earlier and was at the stables by 8:00, it was early but I was buzzing no matter what I am doing I love my horse time and there's something about mucking out stables that I find really therapeutic. When I got there we went and Fetched Gatsby and Rascal in, and the others all went out, I even got to take Dixie out who is so cute, I think those two shetlands are amazing! I then started Mucking out and did Soloman's, Daisy's and the shetlands stables. Once we had finished this we swept the rest of the yard, and Barry looked at the blocked drain on the yard, but couldn't get at it because it's under the tractor that we couldn't move until Fiona is back. When we'd finished we had a cup of tea and a chat which was nice and then moved on to doing poo picking. Now while this isn't my favourite job it's not a job that I hate either, I find it strangely therapeutic. The best thing is because it gets kept on top of it it doesn't take that long to do where as it took ages at Broomfield. 

This morning, I woke up early as I knew I would need to be up. I didn't need to be up too early but unfortunately my brain decided I needed to be up before 8am! Talk about annoying, when I could have had a lie in. Dean and Sue picked me up and we went straight for lunch as it was lunch time and had a KFC, which was nice but not as nice as it used to be. However I did still really enjoy it. Once we had done there we were trying to decide where to go because the weather forecast had given out thunder and lightening, so we didn't want to go to the middle of no where and then that all to happen, all though it would have been amazing to photograph. We looked on my phone and the weather report said that it wouldn't thunder and lightening but it would rain. We decided that we would go to Edale, which is in the middle of no where it's lovely, the roads out we hit really bad rain but decided that we would keep going because we thought that it would pass by. It did and I ended up getting some really nice pictures. We then went to look at Lady Bower to take some pictures which is a huge reservoir, it was amazing and I got some really nice pictures that I will post later. We dropped in to Glossop and had a sandwich and a drink and then carried on. We looked all over and went to Chatsworth hoping to see the deer and sheep but we didn't see them and after this we drove home. It ended up with a sunny evening which I was quite surprised by I think that we all were. 

I am glad that we missed the thunder and lightening though because around lunch time there was thunder and lightening at home and that would have spooked me. It sounds odd but it's not the lightening that bothers me, in fact I think that is quite pretty, it's the big bangs that the thunder makes that bothers me. That's what I don't like, so I was quite pleased when I realised that we had missed 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...

45. The move

6.45am - I got woke up, I was not happy to be woken up, I'd been dreaming about this move the whole night and I was beyond exhausted. I didn't go to sleep until quite late and then I was up, I'd set out all my clothes the night before for me and Jack so that we could just get up in the morning and go.  7am - Got to the yard, NOBODY was there which was exactly the way that I wanted it to be. I mucked out his stable at the old yard for the last time ever. I made sure that the stable was really clean and that I hadn't left anything in it. I loaded up the last few things in the car and we were ready to go. I received a lovely text from my riding teacher saying good luck today and that she knew that I would be fine, this gave me a real confidence boost as my riding teacher knows me better than anyone (horse wise) and she believed in me. Along with my mum, dad and boyfriend.  Do you think we had enough hi-viz on I was taking no chance that magic was going to not be ...

My Dream Barn

So the other day I saw someone who did a post like this and thought why not, I might as well do one, even if I can't afford it I can still day dream, right?  My dream barn would be open and spacious, I love the wood look and how natural it appears to be but can also look really fancy/sophisticated. I also like the idea of the stables being in a U shape with doors and windows facing inwards so all the horses can see each other. I love the stable image above, I love how lit up they are the wooden look to them and the way the stable doors are. I'd also like it so that some of the stables had runs going out the back so that the horse could choose whether to be inside or outside. I also really like how the bottom of the stable walls are a stone wall.  If the stalls were inside I'd love them to look like this, I again love the wood look but I also really like how open everything is. I like how everyone can see everything and how it has the chance for the horses...
