Pony Club - 14/10/13

Yesterday I had Pony Club and it was an evening based around natural horsemanship, Parelli. Now this is something that I have done once before when it was snowing and we couldn't ride and I really enjoyed doing it. This time I got to use Tom to do it, I've never really worked with Tom so it was interesting to do. I got to do two sessions of it instead of one as some people didn't want to do it. We looked at the seven games and got to see Fiona working with Tom. He was a bit stiff because last year in the snow he severed his archery in his leg, so he's not done as much this year I also got to find out more about Tom but that's a story for another day! 

When we had finished with the Parelli, we skipped out the horses, gave them water, put their hay nets up and we also got to give Tom a bit of a groom and some fuss and attention which was nice. This also meant that I got to see Vettie as the two of them are in the same area so of course he got to have some fuss and attention to! I love how gentle the two of them, it doesn't matter that they are really big horses! I also found out that Fiona has had Tom since he was conceived, and that he was born in Rascal's stable. The bond that the two of them have is amazing and I hope that when I got my own horse I can have a bond like that. 

Until Next Time

  1. She's had him since he was born? That's cool. It sounds like they have an excellent bond. There would be nothing more amazing than having a bond like you described with a horse.

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

possible broken hand x3.

hiya guys well it's been a few days and I was planning on updating you all today. Unfortunately I won't be able to go in to as much detail as I want to because I am having problems typing because it looks like for the third time I have broken my hand again!  In the exact same place, how rubbish is that? But they can't tell me because it will not show up for another two weeks on an X-ray so at the minute it's back in a splint and I've got to go back to hospital in two weeks.  Well Saturday I got to ride Gatsby again. We have been working on getting him in to an outline more consistantly but it took me seeing Fiona riding Pumpkin Pie for me to know what it was that I needed to do for Gatsby to work properly in to an outline. We got some really good work in the walk and trot (I have got pictures) and slowly we are starting to get it in the canter as well but by the time we move on to canter I tend to feel quite tired and weak on my left side. We did an exercise th

Hello strangers!

 Wow it feels like a life time ago since I updated my blog let alone since I actually started first writing this blog. So many things have changed and I’ve kept thinking about restarting this but every time I think about doing it life gets in the way and before you know it I just haven’t done it.  So where do I start, how about with the big fella himself. My midnight magic is now 8! He has a heart of gold and after a particularly rough year is definitely coming out of the other side. Magic is a jumping lover and if you let him pick I think that’s all he’d ever do. He’s spent a lot of time working on his flat work which in the long run has really helped to develop his jumping. Last year magic suffered a horrible injury, he damaged his suspensory ligament on his front left leg and on the same leg damaged the collateral ligament that goes to his coffin joint, unfortunately for him he had a pretty bleak prognosis, with only a 30% of being even field sound. With a little bit of luck, blood,
