34. A wicked day

Yesterday was an amazing day I finally felt like the dark tunnel that I had been in i was finally coming out of. I had my riding teacher come out to give me a lesson with magic as I felt like I just needed a little bit of a help to point in the right direction. She came out and said that I was doing a lot better than she had expected me to he doing and that I need to remember that he's not even nine month old yet so he is still a baby. She had me take him in to the school and show her what I would normally do. So I let magic off like I normally would do so she could see what he reacted like, and as predicted  he exploded. He ran around the school bucking and jumping all over the place. She then showed me how to start to teach him join up which I'll be honest I'm not the world best at but I will get better at because I'm going to keep working with him on it. She showed me how to send him away and then when to bring him back again. I found that by doing this I got a lot more respect from magic and he understood what I want off him more. After showing me how to do it she then got me to do it so she could see I'd watched properly and gave me a few pointers on where to improve. She then said to clip him back on to the lead rope but to keep it lose and asked me to show her how well I was doing with the friendly game. She was really happy with how I was doing with this so she then moved on to showing me the porcupine game. I'd already partly started teaching him this but he wasn't the world's best at. I'd only really been teaching him how to back up, Fiona asked if it was okay for her to have a go first and then I could have a go and she was really impressed with this backing up so she then moved on to doing the porcupine game by turning his head away from and turning his flanks away. Fiona got him to do it and then again asked for me to do it and he did it really well so we then started teaching him the yo-yo game and he slowly started picking it up. So she left me and told me that those where the things that I need to work on and then to get her to come out for another lesson when I feel like I have accomplished. I then gave him a good brush and a big fuss because you could tell that he was tired and that he had honestly tried his hardest.

After this I then put Magic to bed, and jack and I went to the pub and I just let my hair down for a bit. I had a good laugh with Jack and his family playing pool and just generally chilling out, having a few jack Daniels. It was a really good night and then I went home and chilled out in bed with Jack watching films and just having a relaxed to the end of the night. I'm working really hard to deal with the issues that are going on in side my own head and I feel that eventually I will get there. I haven't had an explosion, or kicked off in a long time and I feel like slowly im getting myself where I want to be. I've sat and reflected on my life and how things are going and realised that while yes there are some bad things going on there are a lot of plus sides as well. Like magic is doing really well, he's coming on loads and he really is showing how much of a good horse he is going to be. Magic is great and he's an awesome little horse and if that isn't a motivation to keep myself on the right track then I don't know what is.

There will be pictures later on, of Magic and i from today. He's a really good boy and I'm going to do my best by him to make sure he's the happiest that he can be. Enjoy the pictures later.

Until later
Amber and Magic

  1. Keep with that train of thought! That's what will lead to healing. I was so bad that I had to think of little things to be positive about such as I like my hair. I was so wrapped up in my negativity that nothing seemed like a positive. Once I finally started letting go of the negative and really paying attention I realized how many positives I had in my life. I finally realized that my family loved me even though they didn't understand me. I had to stop blaming them for that. They had never been through anything like what I was going through so they didn't understand my reactions. When I let go of trying to blame them, I quit being so defensive and things got better. When things seem really dark think of Magic. He will get you through it. It will be okay. I promise!

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...

Picture time Part one

Hiya Guys,  I can't say that I've really done much today other than finding myself sleeping lots. After the past week being quite stressful as well as the few weeks before leading up to the court date it's safe to say I've hit my barrier where all I really want to do is sleep. The problem is though that I am sleeping during the day and then it gets to 11pm roughly and I find myself wide awake and on my laptop looking for something to do that is going to make me feel sleepy. I've tried reading a book and I start to feel really sleepy but then the minute that I turn the light off and put the book down, bang, I'm wide awake again.  As I've not really done a lot I thought that I would take this opportunity to post some pictures up from the last time that I jumped Gatsby (also the first time I fell off him). Most of these pictures were taken by the boyfriend but some were also taken by my amazing mum. So here you go guys. :)  Really do love this pic...

Decisions!

I hate them, this all started yesterday when my dad said that the money that I had got could buy me a decent mini as I love mini's and really want one, my instant reaction was NO that money is meant for my horse riding and for me to be able to buy my own horse! My mum then said to my dad that he should have known that, that was the reaction that he was going to get from me. However I then started to really think about the idea, a mini would allow me to go different places to do with riding and not have to rely on mum or dad or fit around my brothers schedule, it would then mean that when I did have my own horse I would be able to get to it. So I started to look around on the internet at used mini's as there is no way that I would be able to afford a brand new one, and I saw a few that were a reasonable price and that I liked the look of but then came the problem the Mini one is mainly a 1.6Litre Engine, which would be over £1000 in insurance, so I started to look for a Mini On...
