Magic update

 So I realised that it has been a while since I updated this blog so thought out was time to bring it back to life. Magic is now 6  and the b dream finally came true. Since I last posted we have moved yards and magic is now on a lovely yard, it's a working farm with lots of character and a family atmosphere. Magic is coming on in leaps and bounds me as you gu us have been on this journey with me from the start I decided that it was time to bring you guys back along for the journey. 

Magic got backed over a year ago now and since then we have entered our first online competition, we have competed at our first ever competition at a venue and we've done our first ever endurance ride. We have changed coaches, made friends and lost friends but most importantly we've learnt together and come a really long way. 

So let's talk about our most recent adventures, the first one being his first ever endurance ride. We are so lucky to live within hacking distance of a endurance ride where once a year we are able to ride on land that we don't normally have access to and it was AMAZING. We flew across fields, had to ride through fields with cows in (magic's biggest hate) and spent some quality time bonding. He took it all in his stride, and he tried his heart out. He had to tackle some really big hills but we got some great photos out of it. 

Now for our second adventure and possibly our biggest achievement so far. With the help of my mum and partner Jack I took magic to his first ever dressage pony party and he blew me away. After initially needing some encouragement to load on to the horse box he was loading like a pro. We did two tests on the day. Our turret yet we were really nervous for and to me it felt tense but he went in and tried so hard. He didn't spook at anything he worked in a nice rhythm although he needed to be more forward and we had a good time. Just before our second test it was announced that we had come 5th he had actually placed at his first ever show. We then went in for our second test and we felt more confident. I pushed that little bit harder, I let go of the nervous feeling and I just enjoyed myself. The wait for the result seemed to take forever and then it was time for first placements,and we were literally amazed. I couldn't believe it when they announced that we had only gone and WON!! My baby midnight magic had actually WON at his first ever show. I was so proud of him and everything that we have achieved so far. 

But for now I need to get some sleep and tomorrow I will update you all on everything that's going on with magic and myself. I'll also be able to tell you more about our lessons as we have one booked in for tomorrow morning. 

until next time.
