Grey horses

Up to today I always said that I would never want a grey horse, but today I was sitting looking at 'horse' magazine and there was a pretty picture of a 7 year old Dutch Dressage Gelding that was 17hh that is was Breed from a top German Stallion!

So now I am sitting here looking at this horse thinking maybe I could have a grey horse because there is something that has drawn me to this horse and i dont know what it is, i would not say the colour because i don't normally like grey's but maybe that is because of the fact that they get so dirty so easily who knows not me?

Another thought that I have had was this its to do with the age of horses now i am not saying that we should ride horses until there last minute when its hurting them but I think that if its not hurting them and they enjoy doing it then what is the problem with it, it got me thinking when i read in 'horse' magazine that a horse at the age of 28 after 10 years off is eventing again! IS THERE REALLY ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS WHEN THE HORSE OBVIOUSLY ENJOYS WHAT IT DOES? yes if the horse was in pain it shouldnt be kept in work but i dont think theres anything wrong with it when they enjoy it and it doesnt cause them pain

That's all for now

    thats amazing! i dont see the problem as long as its not hurting the horse in them doing it if its hurting them then yes its better to stop but if theyre not and love it keep going!

    i know i think thats what puts me off grey horses so much i think they are stunning when they are clean but they nearly always show up dirt to a certain extent black horses show up all the light marks xx

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...

Picture time Part one

Hiya Guys,  I can't say that I've really done much today other than finding myself sleeping lots. After the past week being quite stressful as well as the few weeks before leading up to the court date it's safe to say I've hit my barrier where all I really want to do is sleep. The problem is though that I am sleeping during the day and then it gets to 11pm roughly and I find myself wide awake and on my laptop looking for something to do that is going to make me feel sleepy. I've tried reading a book and I start to feel really sleepy but then the minute that I turn the light off and put the book down, bang, I'm wide awake again.  As I've not really done a lot I thought that I would take this opportunity to post some pictures up from the last time that I jumped Gatsby (also the first time I fell off him). Most of these pictures were taken by the boyfriend but some were also taken by my amazing mum. So here you go guys. :)  Really do love this pic...
