The way to heaven is on horseback

I've decided to keep updating more often the majority of my updates will be on horses because as we all on know they're the thing that I love the most! But Today I've decided that I will also keep you all updated on the day to day things that go on in my life! Some days will be interesting others might be a little boring but still its an update none the less! I'm also going to try and update once a day, so that every month there is the same amount of posts for all you lovely people as there is days in the month!  So as you can all guess from the name of this chapter its about new beginnings, almost fresh starts but at the same time, I'm still the same girl just have different things going on in my life compared to what I thought would be going on. When I first started riding Gatsby, as I am sure you all know by now I fell in love with that horse, there was something different something special about him, something that no other horse I had ever rode and to ...

When I got there I had a chat with Fiona, while she made mum a cup of tea about what I had been working on whilst I was riding him at Broomfield. Then he got bought in and I got to groom him he was all muddy from  hours of rolling about in the field, what more can a horse ask for? But I did that then tacked him up and was helped to tack him up by Elaine.  When we got on in the school, I spent 10 minutes with Fiona working on getting my seat right making sure that I would be using my seat bones but also that I had got my leg in the right place e.g. having a flat foot because if you push your heels down it puts your...

well its taken a while for me to update you all on everything that is going on but the truth is not much has been going on during the holidays and during the first couple of weeks at school but last weekend something horse related finally happened.  I started my lessons back up at broomfield again, and Gatsby wasn't back! Lauren didn't know where he had gone or why. So I got told that the only horse that i could ride was Arthur, who as I'm sure you all know is someone that I don't get on with but I agreed to ride him and the lesson started off as a bit of an arguement because he didnt want to go one way, and i wanted him to but by the end of the lesson we were co-operating. We did some riding with out stirrups, as well as riding with stirrups of course and we were working on getting the correct seat position, which once you had it was great and Arthur was much more willing to move. But i still didn't like riding him!  While i was riding mum and dad were tal...
