Gatsby's Story Part Two

After the jumping came many more dressage sessions, jumping sessions and practice for a competition that I thought I was doing on Gatsby but then according to Broomfield Jenny, Gatsby's owner said that I couldn't ride him for the competition because she didn't want him to be used for the competition to this day I will never know the truth about what happened, unless one day I ask Jenny. 

Next was the cross country training and boy did I have a laugh with that Gatsby loved it because he was able to goes as fast as he wants when he wants and was able to jump which is something that Gatsby loves to do. We did several different jumps and he loved it, that was the last time that I rode Gatsby at broomfield. After this lesson I was taken ill and put in to hospital and by the time I went back to Broomfield Gatsby was gone but I was told he was coming back. So I waited til September but he still wasn't back his stable was just empty, no horse was in it. During this lesson my dad spoke to another girls mum who was watching her ride and she told us where Gatsby was. BUZZING! After that lesson we went to see Gatsby and he was there, he was the first horse that I saw there. But no-one was there to talk to about lessons. 

The next day me and my mum went up when I knew that people would be there, my mum told Fiona mine and Gatsby's story so far and also Jenny his owner, and she thought it was such a lovely thing for me to do and even sent me a message saying 'thanks for loving my boy so much' which I thought was a really sweet thing to do. We found out the prices and mum was able to pull me out of Broomfield and start me riding at West Hallam Riding Centre. Since then we have been working on mainly dressage and have just started on working on the Canter again and to say I am rusty is a slight understatement but sooner or later I will get there. 

That's the story upto now and I am sure that in the future there will be more fun and jokes to come, and you can all come along on the journey by reading my blog. I hope you enjoy it as this is just the start for me and Gatsby 

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...
