Horse mum panic - 'is this rug enough'

Well temperatures are set to plummet again tonight apparently with lows of -15 degrees. Now i know to some people this is not very cold but to us this is freezing. So this created mad mum panic that magic needed a new rug with a neck. Pictures below, so I got him a 250gram Sheldon combined rug in blue. Now I have never been a huge fan of blue I am sure that you will all know that for me everything has to be pink, but I was pleasantly surprised that aqua blue looks really good on magic so maybe this will be a new colour gets seen in more often. But then anything is possible when you have a rainbow coloured head collar. 

I have to admit that I am growing fond of this colour on magic and maybe it will be seen more often. 

My sleeping pattern is also fifty shades of messed up at the moment.  I don't go to sleep until 4 or 5 in the morning and then some nights I do go to sleep at a normal time but an hour later I'm awake again, and end up with only 2 or 3 hours sleep. It's getting to the point it's driving me insane but the doctors have told me that I'm not allowed any medications for my sleep. I'm also suffering with restless leg syndrome, it had a flair up about 3 weeks ago. I've got to say they were the start of my sleeping problems and it's such a hard thing to deal with as your legs will literally feel 100% numb you can't get comfy but you still spend the whole night trying until eventually your that exhausted that you just kind of pass out. The plus side is that my evenings now get spent curled up in bed with my dogs. 

So some people may be curious what my plans are at the minute, so I'll tell you all a bit more as those of you that have me on Facebook you will know that I am currently under going my BHS training. Due to my weight at the moment I can not currently ride. So I'm just doing the care side I have just completed my BHS STAGE 1 IN CARE, in the new year my plan will be to undergo my stage 2 and start getting my teaching qualifications. I Will then start looking for teaching jobs but also become self employed once I have saved up enough I plan to open my own livery yard. My plans with magic are to wait until he is 3 I will then start to increase his work and see how he is doing and if he's ready to start slowly being backed. I plan on getting him a new bridle and of course a blingy browband. I also plan on initially getting a used second hand sue Carson saddle and then in the future I will buy magic a new sue Carson dressage saddle. 

Anyway I'm now off to watch heartland I wonder why I never found this TV series until now. 

Until next time 
Amber, magic, Casper and diesel.

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,
