Another Uni Day and looking at Bridles at Pony Club

This morning was our weekly meeting that we have with our programme leader. I somehow managed to become a student rep for my course, which is good because it's something that I can put on my CV but I don't really know what it's going to mean that I am doing. 

In our session we looked at how different colours can effect one colour and how we perceive that colour to be, I hope that makes sense! It confused me so I might not be explaining it well. Then in the afternoon we had two hours to just be able to work on some of our sketch book stuff. It was great because I managed to get two pages done which I wouldn't have managed to get done at home. So tomorrow I need to do two pages in one of my other sketchbooks, not entirely sure which one yet but we will see sooner or later. 

At Pony Club we first of all got to see Fiona and Elaine wrestling a sheep. One of the sheep needed their feet trimming so they decided that they would do it at Pony Club, which was a laugh to watch but also really interesting. After that we all got to pick a Bridle and the job was to take it apart and then put it back together of course I picked Gatsby's. However this meant that I had to take apart his Martingale, breastplate, flash and all that so I had quite a bit more leather than most people had. But I did really enjoy doing, before we put it back together we then had to clean it. This is a job that I love doing.

I also talked to Fiona about doing my BHS Stages but I will save that for tomorrow! 

Until Next Time

    Thanks, can't believe I'm going to be a student rep I had thought about doing it for a while but never got around to it when I was in school. So I took the opportunity this 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...
