Pony Club - Bronze Award Training

Last night was my pony club bronze award training, it was really funny and a good evening was had by everyone filled with plenty of laughs! I was surprised by how easy what we need to do is, things like walk in a straight line, halt and carry on walking (on or off the lead rope). Then it also included knowing why it is safer when riding on the rode to go with an adult. Know different colours of horses and ponies, and how to untie a horse/pony. 

The only thing that I really struggled with was the getting on receiving a leg up as this is something that I have not had to do in ages, (the joys of using a mounting block), in fact I haven't had to do it for four or five years. So that was quite funny but I was happy that I actually managed to do it, it proved to me that I can still do it, which I didn't think that I could do. 

The actually test is next monday so I've got a week to go, but I am back at the stables on saturday and Thursday as I'm going up to help out which I love doing! Now it's the summer and I have got no exams I have so much more time to spend looking at horse things and doing horse things which is awesome! I also have more time to meet up with friends, to read books and to slowly getting back in to doing some art work. I also can't wait to be going to uni in the autumn as long as I get the right grades which hopefully I will have done but I won't know for another two months! 

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...
