plaits, falls and a bruised/grazed shoulder

so as your guessing from the title of this post, its been a interesting day at the yard for the competition i got there at 9:30 to start getting Arthur ready for my test that was at 11:13 at least that what i thought was going to happen whoever said life was easy was deffo not telling the truth!

Arthur's bum all plaited and pretty and looking good clean for once it makes a change!
He was fine when it came to tacking him up and I even managed to stand behind him and get a picture of his bum butt if only it stayed that simple but it didnt! I tacked him up and things were going really well as much as I don't like him I thought things were actually going on him, He let me get on him, tighten his girth (thank god my stirrups were already long!) and start walking down towards the bottom school where I was going to be warming up! Arthur had other ideas, he heard an engine start up and it spooked him so he a u turn went straight in to canter, and starting going mad, I was holding on pretty well until he decided to go down the drive way and saw the thing that had spooked him so he quickly changed his mind and started doing an s turn but because of the speed that he was going at I went one way and he went the other way, So I ended up coming off him, wacking my back on a concrete step thing and grazing it all and keeping hold of him whilest he was being a prat thank god for the fact that I kept hold of him or god knows what that pony would have done!

Then Lauren said she would walk him down to the bottom of the school and i was to get on there! well he was fighting with her the entire time, steph made the call that he was to lively to be being rode, and that he needed to go back to his stable, and Lauren started to walk him back up then BAM bolt number two and he escaped from lauren with no rider on him running around the yard going mad god knows what was up with him, so tomorrow I plan to go back up to the yard to get my jacket but I also need to check and make sure that arthurs okay for my own piece of mind!

Anyway arm and shoulder are hurting now so thats it for today!
Love

    Yep wasn't what I expected that is for sure! But went to the hospital to get checked out and all is looking good just have to wear a splint until they can tell me if my scaphoid bone (in my hand) is broken or not (it doesnt show up on the xray for 10 days apparently! Went to see Arthur this morning and he seemed in a better mood and wasn't bandaged up or anything but no one was around to ask to make sure he was deffo okay but he seemed fine! 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...

45. The move

6.45am - I got woke up, I was not happy to be woken up, I'd been dreaming about this move the whole night and I was beyond exhausted. I didn't go to sleep until quite late and then I was up, I'd set out all my clothes the night before for me and Jack so that we could just get up in the morning and go.  7am - Got to the yard, NOBODY was there which was exactly the way that I wanted it to be. I mucked out his stable at the old yard for the last time ever. I made sure that the stable was really clean and that I hadn't left anything in it. I loaded up the last few things in the car and we were ready to go. I received a lovely text from my riding teacher saying good luck today and that she knew that I would be fine, this gave me a real confidence boost as my riding teacher knows me better than anyone (horse wise) and she believed in me. Along with my mum, dad and boyfriend.  Do you think we had enough hi-viz on I was taking no chance that magic was going to not be ...

My Dream Barn

So the other day I saw someone who did a post like this and thought why not, I might as well do one, even if I can't afford it I can still day dream, right?  My dream barn would be open and spacious, I love the wood look and how natural it appears to be but can also look really fancy/sophisticated. I also like the idea of the stables being in a U shape with doors and windows facing inwards so all the horses can see each other. I love the stable image above, I love how lit up they are the wooden look to them and the way the stable doors are. I'd also like it so that some of the stables had runs going out the back so that the horse could choose whether to be inside or outside. I also really like how the bottom of the stable walls are a stone wall.  If the stalls were inside I'd love them to look like this, I again love the wood look but I also really like how open everything is. I like how everyone can see everything and how it has the chance for the horses...
