The way to heaven is on horseback

On October the 20th I will be going to see Carl Hester, Charlotte Dujardin and Richard Davidson. Those of you that have been following my blog will know that Carl Hester is my all time favourite rider he amazes me. I've seen him once before when I saw the Spanish Riding School and have said that I would love to see him again.  This started yesterday when Fiona told me to imagine how Carl Hester looks when he's riding as I was having some outline issues she then asked me if I wanted to see him to which I answered yes! So she told me that I could go with her and Elaine on the 20th October this earned an immediate yes from me and then a yes from my mum to! I'm so excited to see three amazing riders that hold so much talent that I can only hope to be like one day. I truly LOVE the experiences that I am getting at the minute and I know that they are going to help me progress with my riding as my riding is the consistent thing in my life.  Today I've had a really laz...

well its getting towards being Christmas, has anyone else got a list of things that they want? Because other than money I honestly don't think that there is anything else that I want. I have been looking at camera's though and have taken quite a nice liking to a Nikon camera, i don't know if any of you have seen the Nikon 1 advertised on television but I think that it is something I am going to keep my eye on. I don't want it for Christmas, but it is something that I might think about investing in at some point.  So far this week there has been nothing horse related other than watching different programmes on tv that might show a quick glimpse of a horse but that has been it. Oh and reading my horse magazines, I swear I could spend all day reading horse magazines I love them and I love all the celebrity top riders advice that you get to. For example one of the olympic riders suggested putting white tape on the reins where your hands should be. He suggested this to ...

To anybody who hasn't seen the Spanish Riding School I highly recommend going to watch it because it is amazing its one of those things that you'd want to see once in your life. I could probably watch it a second time (if i had my canon camera so that i could take pictures with it but no such look this time, instead i got pictures on my blackberry so I'll tell you now they're not the best quality). They were truly magnificent it was almost magical being able to watch them. The partnership between horse and rider was magnificent, after spending four to six years as an Eleve (also known as a cadet) they then move on to being assistant rider, and get there own horse once they have their horse it stays with them til they or the horse dies, so the bond is something that could never be replaced. As an Eleve they spend at least a year riding on a lunge line with NO stirrups and NO reins, my mum made me laugh and said I wouldn't be good at that I'd spend more time on t...

Okay so as you all know today I went to see the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, and learnt loads of amazing facts that I have never known before like that there are 6 different families of Lipazzaner horse not sure how you spell it and I got some sneaky pictures unfortunately its been a long day today so tomorrow i will be updating you all about how today went, OH and i got to see CARL HESTER LEE PEARSON AND CHARLOTTE DUJARDIN

This weekend is going to involve lots of posts from me to my blog because tomorrow I get to ride Gatsby, who I am still debating asking my riding teacher If i can ride him bareback a this is something that I have never done and would really like to do, but I know that I will be continuing working on Dressage, leg-yielding and shoulder on. This is something that's always fascinated me and now that my foot is feeling better its something that I am hoping to be able to work hard on!  Then on Sunday it will be time to go to the spanish riding school of vienna at the NIA in Birmingham, something that I have always wanted to see and now i will get a chance to see, this also has a feature performance by Carl Hester and Charlotte Dujardin (not sure if that is spelt right) so i am hoping to be able to get some good pictures for you all to be able to see it is going to be a horse filled weekend for me and I wouldn't want it to be any other way.  I've had a good night tonight...

hey guys sorry it has taken so long for me to post but I am back again and will hopefully be posting more often again. Well guys it has been a little bit hectic the past few days since I have posted.  On the Friday we took my sister to get her new car, its a bright red it looks good and it is a Ford KA just like the last one that she had, except her last one was black. Then in the afternoon I went up to one of my favourite places in the world! BROOMFIELD! I have got some pictures that I will post for you all later. I didn't do any riding (don't think my stomachs up to it) but I did spend two hours fussing horses and mucking them out! To 'normal' (Non-riding people, I actually think that they might be the ones that aren't normal but who knows?) people this might sound pretty rubbish but to me I absolutely LOVED it! When I walked in to the front barn which is where Arthur is, the first thing that he did was make a noise at me until I walked up to him to stroke hi...

Got in from a great night with my big sister and good day with her and just thought that it was time to check up on the olympic score, completely buzzing! Carl Hester and Uthopia is currently in first place with a score of 77.720 completely amazing in second place is also another Team GBR Laura Bechtolsheime and Mistral Hojris (slightly paculiar name if you ask me) with a score 76.839, to say this the first day of Dressage I am So excited, hopefully we will manage a gold medal! Not getting my hopes up, because you never know what is going to happen next! But is a good start for us in the UK.  Denmark is running in second followed by Spain in third. Between second and first percentage wise there a space of 5% woop woop. So who knows what tomorrow will bring. Can't wait to see or hear that. For those of you that want to see Charlotte on Valegro she will be doing her test at 14:10. I will be at broomfield at this time so I will have to catch up on that. Tomorrow is the day! I am ...

Woop I am finally managing to update you all on everything that is going on even though at this moment in time it is not horse related but hopefully it will be soon! Well what have I done today the shorter answer is not a lot well it didn't seem like a lot but geez I'm knackered today, last night I went to sleep between 3 and 3:30am I just couldn't get to sleep and me and my mum must have checked on little Brody a thousand times during the night to make sure that he was sleeping well and sure enough he was doing. He slept from 6pm all the way through to 7:20am this morning! Clever Little guy - sleep while you can, I like the way he thinks. Then this Morning I woke up at 10:30 I know late but the later the better is my thoughts! When I woke up I spent some time playing with Brody and then we shared some Pringles (he loves them almost as much as me ;). After that we got him ready for his lunch and I fed him his baby food today it was ' Fruity Chicken Casserole' and...
