3. Hope, resolutions and a healthier Magic

Today is the 3rd of January and I'm sure that it's my third post of the year. I don't tend to make new years resolutions but this year I have made three, well I wouldn't call them resolutions but more goals to help me improve as a person. So below you will find my goals and how I plan on achieving them. 

  1. Lose weight\get fitter. I think that this is fairly self explanatory unfortunately when I get stressed I tend too either comfort eat or binge eat. Ill just start to be happy with my weight and then I'll get a snack attack. I also want to be healthier for Magic if I plan on doing in hand shows with him them I know I need to be more in shape than I am at the moment and just have better general health. 
  2. Snap less. Again this is a stress related when I get stressed or in pain I snap and take it out on people I care about, it needs to stop. This also means more patience another thing to help with magic. 
  3. Blog more!! Magic is growing so quickly and learning so much that time seems to just be flying by. I want to remember it all and I feel that the best way to do that is by using my blog again. 
Now on to the more interesting things, Magic is doing really well he has no puss coming out of his abcess anymore so he's now having a dry bandage on, also the split in his frog has almost fully healed. He's getting much better at standing for all 4 feet too be picked out. He loves his grooming sessions and just having lots of general loving. He's much calmer and is happier out in his field. He has a new next door neighbor who he isn't really bothered about. Magic now leads well in both walk and trot, although we still need to work on standing still as we are not very good at this. He's slowly growing and gaining \ maintaining weight. Im amazed at how quickly he learns and how intrigued he is to learn new things. Magic will let you put rugs on him although he doesn't always like it. 

Up until recently I have had a small amount of drama at the yard but today my mam has been absolutely amazing and sorted the drama out for me. Which has lead to me having a gorgeous horse to ride called Hope. She's a stunning, giant, 5 year old piebald who tries so hard to please anyone and everyone. I love her and will be riding her until she is sold. I feel so much happier knowing that everything has been sorted.  

But for now Im off to get some sleep, I'm on some quite strong pain killers that make me very sleepy. 

Until next time 
Amber and Magic

  5. Those are great goals!! I'm the exact same way with the eating and snapping when I don't feel well. It's so hard to be nice when I feel so miserable. I've gotten better about it though and I know you can too. :D

    Magic is such a good boy! I'm glad you're enjoying the grooming and loving on him. This is the point where you build such an amazing bond. I loved those years on the ground that I just spent loving on and training Chrome. :)

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...
