MAGIC FINALLY GOT IT

Hi everyone,

Well I have got an hour until I've got to go out again, to go walk the dogs, and then go help a friend out, but I just have to blog this now! I am way to excited to wait to blog this. MAGIC FINALLY GOT IT. Okay your probably going to think what the hell is she on about? Well for those of you that have been reading my blog you will know that I've started bring magic in to work and I'd started teaching him for lunge. For ages I'd been trying to get him to lunge and he'd do about two strides and then it would just all go wrong, well not today, my baby horse finally got it! It was like a light just clicked in his head and the next thing I knew he was listening to voice cues, and was walking and trotting on cue on a lunge line. I was completely and utterly amazed, I was so proud of my amazing, gorgeous baby horse. We did this for five minutes on the right rein, but we then went to go on to the left rein and it didn't work out.

For some reason we both really struggle on the left rein, and magic really knows that he can get away with this, as when i've been poorly, i have, wrongly so, let him. So today I really got after him and made him go to the left, I had my mum and Lynn's help. I still didn't quite get it right BUT Lynn had a go and while it wasn't perfect we managed to get two circles of him going to the left. I don't care if it's not perfect every time. I don't care if we struggle and aren't able to do it, what I do care about is that he tries and I try and that together we slowly get there. We might have bad days and we might have good days but the most important part is that we have fun together. So from now on we're really going to work at it. Today I saw the light at the end of the tunnel that I knew eventually would come but that I had been waiting to come for so long. I finally got to see those movements that I saw as a baby when he was a field, when I asked him for them.

Magic is such a good little horse that tries his heart out to do everything that I ask him to do. After having such a rubbish week this was the light that I needed to realise that things were finally getting better. I've had a nightmare situation with my neighbours but I'll put that in another post as I REFUSE to bring my mood down for anyone. Tomorrow we will try again and maybe it won't be as good a day as today but one thing I do know? With time and patients we will both get there and right now that is all that matters to me.

So on that note I'm heading off and going to spend some time catching up with all your blogs.

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...

The way to heaven is on horseback
