Catch up time Part One.

On Monday was the start of my second proper week at University. In the morning we had a lecture on colour. It was things that were quite simple to understand but at the same time could advance the way that we think about doing our particular work, whether it be art, fashion or photography. It was looking at things like advancing and receding colours, cool and warm colours and complementary. 

In the afternoon there was a fair bit of sitting around as this week there was only one teacher when normally there would be two teachers. During this session Rodger came around every person in the group and talked to them about their work. Asking what their ideas were and where they would like to head with their final piece. Part of my work is photographs with drawings on the top of them so he suggested an artist that I could look at. 

In the evening I had Pony Club, as the weather was still Sunny (although it did drop Chilly) we all sat outside and Fiona and Elaine showed us there First aid boxes. Elaine's was massive and it interested me that a lot of the things that were in it where things that people would use. Like nappies, cold bandages for people things like that. We then got to have a go at bandaging a knee or Hock. I chose to do Gatsby's knee. The funny thing was at one point everyone wanted Gatsby and now it's back to just me trying to get him, which is nice but odd at the same time. The first bandage that I did was a black one and we all decided that we couldn't really see properly. So then we switched it to a lilac fleece bandage that had snow men all over them! They looked so cute but funny at the same time. We then groomed the horses and put them to bed. During the majority of the evening we bought Little Rocky out so that he got some company as he is still struggling with being on his own. Two of the younger girls practiced doing bandages on Little Rocky and then groomed him and I think he did enjoy some of the attention. 
I saw this cute photo on Instagram and really liked it. Think it's a good quote to cheer you up when your having a bad day :) 
These show my four attempts at doing a bandage with the cute snowmen bandage wraps. The biggest picture is the last attempt that I had at doing his knee bandage. 
Until Next Time

  2. That quote was so true. When I first started jumping I was so nervous (ok still am), but there was a little girl watching from another trainer's horse, and she got all excited and started talking about how cool it was and how much she wanted to try. Always show your best, you never know who's watching.

  3. It's a quote that I think will stick with me because its so true. On the last own a pony day I had all the little kids watching me jump gatsby and they were so sweet after and at pony club when we are riding people are watching then too. It always pushes me to be the best rider i can be

    It sounds like you have come a long way with your riding and becoming more confident

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,
