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

A Girl With A Dream

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...
