Vettie and I - Saturday 5th October 2013


I really like this photograph. I don't know what it is about it that makes me like it but I do.   
I love my position (other than my hands) in this photograph. I really struggle to keep my leg in place and I love how in this photograph they're where they are supposed to be just need more weight down the back of my leg.




I love the angle of Vettie's legs in this photograph. I also love how floaty he looks.

Excuse my awful Right Leg! I can never manage to keep this leg where it is supposed to be! So annoying 


LOVE THIS PHOTOGRAPH! 



He really makes me sit up in my position, just about to go rising trot here so tilting slightly forwards. Also not the best leg position! Look how big his stride looks would love to see this in a video. 



I really like this photograph I think the look on my face kind of says it all! 


I'm slowly getting there, towards the end of my lesson I was starting to ask for an outline in the trot as well as in the walk. Love the position that Vettie is in here.

BIG TROT! 

Lots of circle work is the key to getting me thinking as well as lateral work. We were starting to really get there. 





I do really really like this photograph. I know it's a bit blurred but I love how we look. I know that I also need to sort my arms out more and bend more in my elbows.





Vettie says aren't I handsome, really do like this horse! 







Of course we have to include Gatsby somewhere, I'm riding Vettie in the background while JaimieLeigh and Gatsby are watching. I really do love out lessons together and hey Jaimie-Leigh and I are wearing matching outfits. 
Until Next Time

  1. I love the pictures. Vettie really is a gorgeous horse. He's a warmblood, right?

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,
