why I ride and what it means to me?

Hey my loyal followers :)

I decided to let you all in on why I tide and what it means to me, and why it's so important. I've been riding for about 10/11 years now, and I'm still riding everyone thought that it would be something I did for a while and gave up on like i did on most other sports but that never happened, I've stuck at it and kept working hard, because I know what I want to do.

To me riding isn't just a sport, it's a passion, its something that means the world to me but it is also something that is completely indescribable because the feeling it creates the minute I'm even near a horse or think about a horse I know that its something I could never stop doing. I could never stop doing it and plan on doing this my entire life! But I'm going to try my hardest and put it in to words so you can know a little bit more about me and why I do what I do.

I might not be the best rider in the world or the most natural rider in the world. But I have no intention of ever giving up on my dream of having my own horse that I can show and compete. Thats been my dream since I was little and one day that dream will come a reality maybe I'll have to wait longer than my 18th birthday but one day I'll have my own horse!

I ride because of the joy that the animals bring me, and the feeling of working together with an animal that doesn't have to work with us but chooses to allow us to ride them. They are gorgeous and magnificent creatures and also much stronger than us but they still let us learn on them, and they still let us ride them there strong enough to not let us do that. My relationship with the horses is what means the most to me not the riding but the relationship because without that relationship we wouldnt get the best out of the horse and it wouldn't be fair. It's the fact that such a magnificent animal respects us and trusts us enough to take care of them and tha'ts what means the most to me! The faith the animals have in us is something that is completely indescribable no matter how hard I try I just cant put it into words!

Yes I love riding because it's a good way to keep fit but it means so much more to me than that. Its not just a hobby that at some point ill get bored of it's my life and my biggest passion. Riding means the world to me and always will do! I ride because I love horses and because I love the feeling. Sure putting your trust in such a magnificent animal might be hard but at the end of the day that doesnt matter to me because horses trust us so we should trust them. I have 100percent confidence in my riding and trust in the horses. Sure I'm less confident on some horses but thats part of riding, and is a way that we can get better at what we do.

Hope this give you guys more insight in to why I ride and just how truly important this is to me.

Until Next Time

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...
