49. Hospitil Visit and Disciplinary measures.

Well I think my title says it all, today has honestly not been the worlds best days. This morning my mum, Jack and I went to do Magic, I bought him out of his stable and he came out happily. While I was then mucking out his stable (which made my Ribs really hurt but I knew that it needed doing), my mum and jack groomed Magic. Magic was a little bit arsey with jack but I think that was mainly because he could tense that Jack was being ever so slightly wary with him. However everyone got on with doing what they needed doing. His stable was trashed so the majority of his bedding came out, and I put two or three more slices in his bed just to top it up a little bit. I then let him off in the school so that he could get some fizz out but was surprised to see that there wasn't really a lot of fizz coming off him, which I was fine about. I then took him back in his stable and took his head collar off, his food was stood by the tack room door so that once I had got his head collar off I would be able to go and get his feed and put it straight in his bucket. However today I was even stricter with Magic and wouldn't even let him near me, when he tried to get to his bucket, he didn't like it but it was something that he just had to put up with. He had his little bit of a lash out again today but it was no where near as bad as the lashout that he had done Tuesday night when I got kicked. I made sure that every time he tried to buck or kick out he'd get reprimanded or disciplined with the carrot stick so that he would realise that this behaviour was just not suitable.

Then this afternoon I went to A&E because I had just got to the point where I was in agony with my ribs and stomach. I got rushed in by ambulance and was on gas and air for over an hour. They then took it off me after accusing me of being a 'drug addict' which caused me to lose my temper, once I had calmed down they put a canular in and gave me IV paracetamol (which did not effect the pain). I then was given oral morphine to get the pain under control, and ordered to have a chest x-ray. It took forever for them to do it but they said that my x-ray had come back clear, so they think that I had just done lots of soft tissue and ligament damage. The doctor then took my canular out and I was part way to walking to the car when I felt a dripping on my hand. Ever since the canular had been put in I had complained that it did not feel normal and it was hurting more than normal, it was extremely painful to take out as well. I looked down at my hand and the cotton wool that they had used to cover up where the canular had been was just pouring with blood. I went back inside and got it plastered batter, so that if it was to start pouring with blood again I had got a bit of extra padding. It was extremely painful and it still it.

While I was at the hospital my mum sorted magic out for the night, however she fed him differently to me. Due to the pain and damage in her shoulder she put the food in first while Magic was tied up outside. She then bought magic in and got him to take his head collar off nicely and then carried on the same procedure that I had started this morning. Once magic was used to being touched with the parelli stick she then stroked his neck and went to stand outside his stable. Here she did what I did and waited for him to come and see her before giving him a fuss and leaving. At the moment it is a battle of wills between Magic and I but I am sure it is a battle that I will win. He's an amazing horse in so many ways he just needs to be a little bit more amazing about being feed but slowly but surely we will get there.

But for now I'm off to watch a prison documentary with my boy as I am absolutely knackered.

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,

You are doing everything right with Magic. He will get there!

Magic is doing loads better now :) we still have our moments where we don't agree on something but I would definitely say he's happier these days :)
