How the horse works series and a school day

Yesterday I did a post on Cushing's as it was an interesting thing to learn about but such a sad thing to, and I got some comments on it that made me think that I am going to do a series of posts, looking at horses' health, whether it would be main illness that are really well known or it could be laminitis (can't spell it sorry guys) or just facts to do with the structure of the horses digestive system and how it works. I don't know fully yet but it will be to do with horses health and how the horse works. How the horse works will look at different horse personalities, as I got a book a couple of months ago all about different ways that the horses mind works, and it is something that fascinates me and something that I think that people that are like me will also find interesting to! If I have time later I might do another post, that looks at one of the things that i have mentioned above but I am pretty tired tonight so I can't guarantee that one. But is there anything that you guys would like to know more about or ride more about? 

So on Sunday I am riding Gatsby, you gotta love that horse, and have been thinking that I would really like to do some canter work on him as the last time I did it, it didn't end how I wanted with Jaimie-leigh falling off and getting hurt (by the way she now has to go to Physio as she's still having problems with her shoulder). So the lesson kinda ended on a bad note with Gatsby because he was getting his way far too easily, and just stopping whenever he wanted to and not when I told him too. So if it is dry which has been the main problem since then, I am going to ask Fiona at the beginning of the lesson because she has said that even if Jaimie-Leigh didn't want to do something I normally would still be able to do that. For example Jaimie-Leigh doesn't jump but I like jumping so would still be able to do that and get my confidence back doing it. I am also considering asking her if we could do some pole work. 

On to how my first day back at school has been, well it felt far too long and far too tiring, at least I'll probably be able to sleep well tonight but I don't want to sleep before Eastenders is on because apparently loads is going to be happening on it and I just love watching it. My first lesson today was English which was just going over some of the themes in 'The Tempest' written by Shakespeare. We looked at old past paper questions and went in to detail about how to answer some of the questions. Then it was two hours of Art initially I was dreading this but by the end of the lesson I was quite happy, I then spend my lunch and my free working on my practical textiles, two hours of sewing beads on sent my hours funny. Then it was time for my actual textiles lesson and during this time I spent time revising for my retake textiles exam on Thursday. 

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...

Magic's 2nd day in his new home

It has been a while since I have posted on here but I thought it was the perfect time to restart the blog. So to start with I'll give you all an update on what's been going on over the years since I've posted and then I will be back to regularly posting and keeping you all updated on the world of magic.  The first big change who I need to introduce is Jaxon, Jaxon is mine and Jack's 7 month old baby, he was born on the 7th July 2020. Part of this blog will be dedicated to overcoming the challenges of having a small child and owning a horse, even when everyone told me it was impossible to do. Jax has a best friend Bailey who is mums new 1 year old puppy and he has the best time trying to play with her.  Of course Magic is one of Jaxon's best friends.  Now for an update on Magic, he is doing really well, I can't remember if I ever told you, but he moved yards last year when I was pregnant with little man. Unfortunately this yard just didn't quite ...

Olympics - good bad or both?

In the Beijing Olympics in 2008 the horses used in the pentathlon were said to cause farcical scenes with fall after fall after fall. This was said to be the fault of the horses that were either hired or loaned to the competitors. It was not blamed to be rider error or a combination of both rider error and horse error, it was labelled as being the horses fault or this is what it said in ' Horse and Hound Magazine'. This horse was said to have been to spooky and sharp, but is it not a combination of rider's aids and rider error AS WELL as the horse being spooky. Can we really just blame it on the horse, when we are the ones that tell the horse what to do, by no means am i saying it was 'just the riders fault' couldn't it have been a combination of both?.    For the London 2012 Olympics it was said that a total of two years if no longer was spent attempting to find the right horse for the right competitor. They made sure that the horse was at the right l...
