Emotional few days

Hiya guys, 

Well I've not got much to tell you when it comes to the riding side of life, because it's not going too well at the minute. 

Friday I took a trip to Devon, with my boyfriend, his mum and dad. You might all be thinking about that was nice, well I can tell you it now that it wasn't. Before Jack and I got together he was an idiot and got himself in to loads of trouble. That ended up in him having to go to court. Well on Friday he got sentenced to two years, he got 87 days taken off because of the amount of time that he had been on tag, and got told that he would only do 9 months. However if he is well behaved there is a possibility that he'll do just under 7 months and be out before christmas. It's hard and I miss him like mad but I know that one day sooner or later he'll be back and when he is back we can continue on with our lives and get things on track and to where we want them to be. 

Saturday I tried to ride Gatsby but the weather was against me, then with everything that had happened on Friday I was also feeling incredibly emotional. I got off twice because it wouldn't stop raining and the wind was also starting to get to the point of it being unsafe to ride in. I didn't really have a lesson on Saturday, it was more a chance for me and Gatsby to do what we wanted and to be just us, and I really appreciated that Fiona let me have the time that I needed with my big fella. For the last 20 minutes of my lesson I curled up in Gatsby's stable with him (the end of the lesson got cancelled because of the weather). He made me feel a lot better and calmer. I don't know how he does it but he always seems to manage it. 

But anyway, I'm off to bed now. 

Night y'all

  4. Horses are the best therapy!! Sorry about your boyfriend being sentenced. It sucks that so many young people don't think about the consequences of their actions, but it's very common and it will all be okay. He will serve his time and learn a lot I'm sure, then it will all be over and he can continue to turn his life around. It may seem like a long time, but it's definitely not the end of the world. Hugs!

    1. Thank you so much for your nice comments! He deserves the time he got for what he did and I know he'll learn from his mistakes. I'm hoping this will do him some good and he will use the time to get a job and some more education. Will the time a parts horrid I know it will be worth it in the end!

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...
