7. Vets, hospitals and relaxation

Well I'm currently sat in the back of the car on the way to hospital, my mum quickly put Magics food in this morning and now we're on the way to have my test done to see whether I have Addison Disease or not I can't say I'm particularly looking forward to it seen as I hate needles and this whole test is about having needles put in me, to say I'm dreading it is an understatement especially when I have hardly slept all night and I am in quite a bit of pain. However I thought I would use this time to update you all on my experiences of a certain vets in Derbyshire. You'll all know that I had to get another vet out to sort out magic after they came out well on Monday i took in the insurance claim form and asked them to fill it in, while at the same time booking Magic in for l his 2nd set of injections. I explained that id be paying with cash and that I knew his vet bills has not been paid, I was waiting for an email off my insurance company. Yesterday I recieved a p...

17th May 2014 - Lesson On Gatsby

I rode Gatsby today for my weekly lesson and it was amazing. With everything that was going on last week I'd needed a week just me and Gatsby to chill out and do what we do best, being us. This week I was straight back to working him an outline and trying to work him in an outline at the canter as well. We are slowly progressing to be able to do it but that is the operative word, slowly. We will get there in the end. We warmed up in walk making sure that he was nice and warm, that his muscles were working and also to give me a feel of him working in his new bit (can't remember what he's got now, but when I can remember I'll let you guys know). He was really responsive and listening in this bit even if he did try to hang off my right side at times but plenty of half halts and flexion to the right soon managed to sort this out. We then moved up to the trot work this was quite simple he was forward and listening and actually doing what I wanted him to do. I soon learnt th...

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...
