A hectic weekend...

Ok its time to actually write a decent length post, while I have not been posting the past few days I have been reading everyone's blogs and would like to say that my thoughts are with L over at Viva Carlos during this tough time that she is going through.  

On Friday it was ny nans funeral, while it was a sad occasion I loved being able to see everyone, including my irish cousins that went home today. We went to the crematorium for 3:08pm and emotions were running high. But I had my best friend there to support me and I really appreciated it. We then went back to Horsley lodge for the wake. It was so long afternoon but we had some really nice chats with different people that we would not see very often. Evie their came back to mine for the night because of personal things in her life, she will be with me until at least Tuesday. 

Saturday I got to see my big fella and Evie got to meet him for the second time. My cousins also got to meet him and see me ride. We were originally planning to work on doing some small jumps but Gatsby was extremely wide awake he was active forward moving but he was trying to race to. He eventually settled down and so that he doesn't get wound up we decided that we would not jump him. The canter was a bit hectic because he was over excited. He worked well in an outline and fiona was really happy to see how much my seat and tightened stomach muscles had improved. I was really happy with the comments I got. It was a great ride and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

This morning Evie and I went to the church as she always goes on a Sunday and I said that I would go with her. We then spent some time at home watching casualty (not sure if I slept this right) we then watched some of the F1 as it's my dad's favourite programme and he always watches them. Then it was time for the best part of the day all you can eat chinese! Evie, mum, dad, my cousins, brother, sister, nephew, Mick and I all went to the Chinese. And it was gorgeous I was so full by the end of it, the sweet and sour chicken was perfect. When we had finished there my mum and brother took my cousins to watch my brothers girl friend play snooker and then took them to the station. I really enjoyed seeing them and I am gutted that they have gone home I can't sit to see them again. My dad, Evie and I went home me and Evie played monopoly and for the first time in my life I actually won. I was so happy. The evening had some eventful turns to it but that's Evies story to tell not mine. The rest of the evening we watched TV, did some cleaning. And are now just chilling but I have a feeling that tonight is going to be quite very long night so we will have to wait and see what happens.

Til tomorrow arrives I don't know what the day will bring, I should be doing a dressage thing and then pony club but at this moment in time I do not know what is going to happen. I think it is going to be a long week. 

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...
