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

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,
