The way to heaven is on horseback

Well those of you that know me and have got me on Facebook will have seen that on the 19th May Magic turned one and he got a birthday present, well it was a present for me but it meant work for him. He also got two small likits for his swinging ball as I'm finding these really hard to be able to find and buy at the moment. Apparently there is a problem with manufacturing at the moment. I bought Magic a 5inch happy mouth snaffle bit with a lozenge in the middle. I then decided that his birthday would be the start of his training, so I went up to the stable bought him in and gave him a really good brush. After this I decided to put his bit in for the first time, I connected two pieces of bailing twine to the bit and put it in. I made sure to stand at his left shoulder and put it on as if I was putting a bridle on him. I then connected the bailing twine to one of the metal loops on his head collar to hold it in place using a bow. I kept it in for a few minutes and then took it out ag...

Okay guys so I need some opinions but I also need to vent, so figured that here was the best place to do it as my facebook is being spied on so I can't really put on it what I want to put on it. But I'm keeping those certain people on there so they can see just how well my little boy is doing instead of constantly putting him down, and if they're reading this well tough. This is the only place I can really put what I am thinking and what I am feeling without being judged by social media, arghh the joys but back to the point.  The small minion with the massive baby!  Monday - As you'll know Magic was doing really well, he went in the school to let a little bit of steam off that evening and my little nephew came up to see him. So he was on his best behaviour. I trust that horse 100% and Brody (with me stood inbetween him and magic) even managed to lead him (holding the very end of the lead rope). I've got pictures that I will show you guys later on. In the sch...

Well this is going to be a very quick picture overload but I decided that today Magic deserved two posts. I went up to check on magic at lunch time and he was great, his hair is really starting to change, he's shedding one coat and it's starting to look really shiny. I gave him lots of love and fuss and of course took like a million pictures. Then when I went up at lunch time we did some join up only very briefly in the school and I then put him back in his stable. When he was in his stable he was like a completely different horse, he was calm relaxed and chilled out. I made sure his stable was all cleaned out and then after that I put him in. I went in to his little tack room to get him his food, and he was completely oblivious I then put his food in his bucket and he didn't even try and come in my personal space. After I had put his food in his bucket, I stood near him and played the friendly game with him. He was completely accepting to this, I then moved around the sta...
