Bronze Award 1&2 Training Evening 1 :)

I am on a mission to get fit, I've been on a mission to lose weight for a while but only recently have I really wanted to start to get fit. Losing weight is always a good goal but getting fitter is an even better goal. Ever since last week I've been walking once a day with my dad, although we decided that we would have sundays off. I am also hoping that I can start swimming again soon.

Today I went for my usual walk with my dad and then spent some time reading my horse magazine that came in the post this morning. This afternoon/evening was my weekly Pony Club in two weeks we will have our Bronze Level 1 and 2 test evening. So today we were practicing for the test evening and we will do the same next week. We decided that even though the riding part of the test is simply that we would spend tonight practicing it. The hardest part was that you have to be able to mount and dismount from the wrong side of the horse. The only other thing that you need to do was be able to walk in a straight line and be able to halt as well as be able to do basic movements turning left or right and circles. Then it was time to put the horses to bed, I did Rascal and got him all ready for the night. We ran out of time so didn't get around to doing the feeds at Pony Club so once everyone had gone I helped Fiona and Elaine to do the feeds.

Tomorrow I am going up to help in the morning and then have got a driving lesson in the afternoon.

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...
