I'm back for good!

Apologies for it being a while guys but I am now back and fully updating again! I've missed writing a blog and getting to know about all your lives to. So I am back and will be posting everyday no matter how short the post is. As quite a lot is going on I'm going to use bullet points to highlight the main things that are going on in both my personal life and my riding life so here goes guys enjoy :). Lots of pictures too! 

  • Well the most recent update in my riding Career is that I fell off Gatsby. Yep you read that right after 3-4 years of riding the wonderful Gatsby I finally came off him. We got a bit over excited coming up to a jump and he over jumped it and took off way to early. Because of this I lost my balance (so it wasn't his fault) and ended up landing on the floor but hey at least it was dry! 
  • I've started doing a lot more work with out stirrups, it took me a big leap of faith and of course riding Gatsby to be able to get the courage to be able to canter without stirrups. The amount of trust that I have in that horse is unreal and even after the fall I am still looking forward to riding him.
  • I've started riding Vettie more including riding him in a dressage competition that we came in fourth place in (out of 9) so i'm just happy to not be last.  I need to remember though that I can ride and that I am to keep smiling and stay calm. 
  • I now occasionally ride a horse called Leo, Kelly's new horse as unfortunately Rascal had to be put down. While we are on sad news Hazel and Tom have also been put to sleep so it's been a rough few months at the stables. 
Now on to personal life: 
  • I've almost finished my first year at University, which is really weird to think about but at the same time also really exciting because it means that I am a step closer to doing what I want to do 
  • I am still dating Jack, things aren't always easy with court dates and what is coming up but we are making it work and to me that's what's important. We have our fair share of arguments but we know how to work things out in the end. 
  •  Totally random but I bought myself a Pandora Charm Bracelet for my 19th Birthday, boy do I feel old saying that. Aha, the weird things that I think. 
  • Oh and finally I got a new car, I was having to many problems on my little green mini so I am now the proud owner of a nightfire red mini with racing stripes on it.  

But to be honest that's all that is really going on at the minute. My life is pretty uneventful but I promise you guys I am going to be back to religiously updating my posts again as I have really missed blogging. Oh and the fact I have MILLIONS of pictures to share with you guys.


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

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,
