9. Not quite as planned.

Today hasnt quite gone as I planned that it would do, i woke up at 10 to 8 this morning sobbing, in agony and completely unable to move. I quickly woke jack up, and he helped me to get to the bathroom and move around until he had to go to work. Unfortunately due to the amount of pain that I was in it meant that I was unable to ride today. I spoke to my riding teacher and she said there was no point in my riding because of the fact that I had got hardly any balance. However she thought that it would be a good idea for me to go up and brush gatsby before a small amount of time so I DID get Gatsby cuddles.

Still one of my favourite horses, to be honest I think this boy will always hold a special place in my heart I love him so much.

After doing this I went to see Magic and ended up completely knackering myself. I got there at one and knew I had an hour before someone was coming to view one of the horses on the yard and I'd agreed magic would be in his stable while this process was happening as the horse in question is quite attached to him. So before they came I decided that it was time to walk magic out on the road for the first time properly. I'm quite lucky in the fact that where magic is kept there is quite a large footpath to walk on and he doesn't have to get to close to the road. Magic looked at everything we went past but he took it all in his stride, he actually walked out better going away from the yard than going back towards it. On the way back he wanted to stop every few strides but we managed it and got him back in the stable just in time. After the viewers had bought the horse and left I then bought magic back out and washed his white socks at first he didn't really understand and was a bit unsure of why he was having a hose pipe on his legs, but once he understood what I was asking he stood very still. After this I groomed the rest of his body, including all four feet. I've got to say he was amazing for this, he picked them all up again without being bribed and stood nicely and quietly for me. The thing I am working on the most at the moment is his ears,magic will let you touch everywhere but his ears. So today I got his lick out and my mum gave him that while I slowly started touching his ears. I didn't do this for to long before I put him back in his stable and told him how much of a good boy he was.

Selfie with the pony, he's growing so much and no matter how much pain I am in he always puts a smile on my face. This was also his first proper walk out on the roads.

As you can see the pony is very inquisitive and likes to take a look at everything.

After doing all of this it was time to pick up jack, I'm now completely shattered and curled up in bed while the other half plays on the playstation. I'm doped up on quite a few strong pain killers so I really don't have the energy to post much more than this so I am now off to bed. Night y'all

Until next time

Ps the one pence collection is still going strong :)

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,

The way to heaven is on horseback
