Gatsby Time tomorrow.

After the week I've had I can't wait to go riding tomorrow and just have time with Gatsby and building my riding up. He's such a wonderful horse and always makes me feel better when I've had a bad day. Today has been such a long day and I'm back to aching my dad and I did two uphill works which has sent the joint between my leg and my body back to hurting again which it had stopped doing. So I'm hoping it is going to stop again by tomorrow.

Tomorrow my dad is taking me riding as my mum is taking my brother and his mate to a cycle race that he's doing. So there won't be any pictures of Gatsby and I (as my dad can't take pictures they end up either of people's feet or of the sky) it's the first time in a while that my dad's seen me ride (Canter) so will be interesting to hear what he thinks, and he has been told whether it's raining or sunny he has to be there, he can't say he's not feeling well because then I have no other way of getting there.

Recently it's been really weird but I've just felt like I wanted to ride without stirrups, I don't know why because it's something that I tend to not like doing and tend to avoid doing, but I just fancy riding without stirrups at the minute, I told my mum and she said when Fiona thought I was ready she was sure that she would decide that it was time to do it, for now I'll just stick with my canter.

I haven't really done much today other than go for two long walks and walk round the supermarket helping my mum do the shopping. So I've done lots of walking today then this evening I went to my local youth group and spent three hours playing on Forza four. I'd got nothing better to do and no-one was there. I got quite good at it by the end but I also got really bored of it, So then I spent ages playing pool we played Six matches and drew 3 wins each. 

Until Next Time

    Yay for riding without stirrups it is THE best way to get a better seat. Even if you just warm up at the walk without them it is better than nothing. I had trouble wiht the sitting trot so I had to ditch my stirrups for a month until I could do it.

    I've never been a fan of riding without stirrups especially after coming off when riding with out stirrups and almost ending up with broken ribs

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...
