131. Who Am I?

Recently I've been seeing lots of things on facebook about what makes a person who they are, with it coming to the end of the university year lots of people that I want to school with are ending that mile stone. I see lots of comments about this is the end of their journey making them who they are but I completely disagree with this because I don't think that the journey to being you will ever end. As the majority of you will know I have suffered with long term illness and health problems since I was the age of 11, you will also know that I was studying commercial photography at university. However at the end of last year I had to make an extremely tough decision due to my ill health and personal stress problems I made the choice to 'quit' university. Now for a while this made me feel like a complete and utter failure. I've never been good at making my mind up but I don't normally give in, so for ages to myself I was just a fail. Which wound me up and drove me to breaking point, I was losing my head with everyone and everything but there in the middle of all this was my family, Jack and most of all Magic. He was the one thing that never changed and the one thing that made me, well me. He was always happy to see me, a shoulder to cry on, a cuddle on a bad day, a laugh when I needed cheering he was just Magic. So in answer to my question I'm Amber, proud owner of Magic, daughter, girlfriend, loyal friend, I'm just ME. I might know or have a plan for what I'm doing in life but slowly but surely I will get there. I might not really know what I want to do in the future but if this journey that we were on ended now I think that would be really boring because I can be whoever I want to be. 
Excuse my face, but cute moment going on between Magic and I think (but don't hold me to it) Sparky and Phase) 
But now on to what I have been up to. Today has been a relatively quiet day, after having to be up at 7am yesterday morning and then dealing with a bad patch of pain last night, I ended up sleeping in this morning. I then went to see Magic and the weather was lovely it was red hot and sunny. Magic was chilling by the gate waiting for me to bring him in and give him some love, so again I took him in to the cross country field and we did some random bits of walking and trotting. I then took him back up on to the yard and gave him a good old brush, which he seemed to really enjoy. 
Magic yesterday hiding in the middle of the herd, like I said the UK's weather is nearly always rain, the top photograph was today and this one yesterday and it's completely different. 

After I'd done this Jack and I went to meet Connor and Leona and we all just spent a few hours chatting a way and lying on the park in the sun. It was nice weather and nice company, in the UK it's not very often that you get really hot sunny days, so for me any chance to chill in the sun is a chance that I will take. Eventually it was time for Connor and Leona to go to work, so Jack and I headed back to the flat, where we curled up on the sofa and caught up with the soaps before I drifted off in to a peaceful sleep with casper by my head and Jack chilled out on the playstation. Now here I am writing this post, so on that note I'm going to leave you all to it. 
With a crazy owner you have to have a crazy horse and my boy certainly is that. Magic and I pulling faces, phase even joined in with the face pulling and sparky well isn't he just adorable being the 'normal one'. 

Until Next Time 
Amber and Magic

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...

Just as you think things are getting better they prove not to be.

On Sunday in the Early hours of the morning my nan took another fall, while she was trying to go to the toilet, (she has an en suite so it wasn't a long way for her to walk but she went all dizzy and then fell), and as she has a small compact bathroom she hit her head on the side of the bath. Today we had the Doctor out to see her and he was worried with the fact that her blood pressure drops so low when she stands up and when following the doctors finger when looking to the right her eye was jerking side ways but not to the left. So he said he wanted her to go in to a Day case unit and have a whole load of tests including a brain scan, blood tests and chest x-rays. He wrote a cover note/letter and my Uncle took my nan to the doctors. While she was there she had an ECG, blood tests and chest x-rays but no brain scan which was the most important one that she needed. They then told her that her blood pressure was fine but it was her heart that they were worried about. She never had ...

an intense few days.

The past few days have been INTENSE to say the least. Both days have been filled with horsey madness and while I am aching now I feel good for managing to accomplish everything that I have done. There will be some video's soon but I honestly just haven't got around to uploading them and editing them so as soon as I do that I'll let you know and you can all see. Yesterday I went up to do Magic, after all the ponies nearly escaped from the field I eventually managed to convince him to come and do some work. He had a really nice groom and fuss, which he LOVED. Then I put his bridle with his new reins on, and his lunge cavesson (not sure if I have spelt that right), we lunged nicely for both ways doing walk, trot and canter. Then out of no where going to the right he exploded. I couldn't see anything that had happened so assumed he was just having one of his moments and that he would be fine and calm down, but that I might need to free school him first. So I did what I...
