In the saddle! I got Brave!

Stella earned her superstar status today!
Her Aunty Gabbi is back for a week so we decided to take her for a ride, that meaning I let Gabbi ride because I am a wuss at the moment. That is changing however. 
Anyways after a nice ride down to the fields I watched as she strutted her stuff in some of the grass meadows (This pony has a trot to die for).
Her Canter work needs some attention.... in that when Gabbi asked her for a canter that meant flat out gallop to Stella!! 
However once she had gotten over this entail queue to go fast and had settled its safe to say that despite her being a bit of a tank, she is simply lovely.
She is much more relaxed out by herself than she is with other horses, therefore a lot of my work whilst building her confidence will probably be done with someone on foot as oppose to with another horse to start with.
Having decided that she would chill out completely after her little wizz session I put my brave pants on and swapped so that I could ride her home.
Safe to say I havent felt so good on an equine in a long time. I do adore her.
And having seen how well she calms down I cannot wait to take her out again... maybe my feeling of wanting to ride is returning to me :D
Thimble has had an easier day today, Mostly because since we got back with Stella its been pretty much constant heavy rain. No one wants to work in that unless they have too!
But on that note I am aiming to get my little madam out in her trap by the end of the week, fingers crossed.
Anyway I shall disappear to gaze at my gorgeous girls some more. 
Totally besotted!

So being the insanely graceful human being that I am I managed to fall down my steps the other day, spectacularly.  So with my arm not broke (whoop), but all strapped up with ligament damage. Safe to say I was lucky. Its sore and irritating but it's done now so I'm simply on a mission to try and get it sorted asap, lots of using it gently and building it all back up.  Also in the land of me being brave this week, as part of my 'sort yourself out' campaign, I managed to get myself to a dentist this week.  This is something that literally terrifies me, and I haven't been for years, consequently, there is a lot to do, but like my horses, it's going to be done in small manageable steps.  If I expect my horses to face fears and learn then it's only fair that I expect the same from myself. Also, I have finally put the deposit down on my course to study equine sports massage.  I really want to build a career within the equine industry and I plan to

Well, as per usual nothing goes quite to plan around here, Having said that I am finally all caught up with the animal jobs on our return. Also, I have managed to convince a certain stallion's owner to put a higher fence up so I can get my ponies past him without the constant threat of him coming with me! He's lovely don't get me wrong, but walking past him with a bunch of mares.... Let's just say it can be a little hair-raising. I am currently sat at work writing this.... can't hear myself think so thought I would take a few minutes break to write here instead. Stella has had a quiet week or so but I went out to see her last night for a little bit of groundwork and to try the western tack on her. I was hoping that it would fit her a little better than my saddles, she's so broad that getting anything to fit her is a nightmare. The good news is it seems to fit well, but I haven't sat in it yet. Last night was a case of seeing if it fit and seeing wh

"He's impossible, stubborn and nothing works" Once upon a time, I was told this about a horse that refused to load, and for me, this was where a lot of my inspiration came from.  The horse in question did appear stubborn, no amount of tugging, pushing, pulling, feed or lunge lines would get him to load if he didn't want to. Yet watching him in the field showed that he was incredibly intelligent. Taking off his rugs with all straps done up, opening gates, opening stable doors.  It was clear to see he was a horse that liked thinking but didn't like pressure. Therefore I decided to give something else a go.  I turned the task of loading him into a puzzle, something that he had to work out, for his own gain.  A game if you like.  He didn't like going onto the lorry, but he did like coming off. He also liked to think that he knew what was coming next.  This was where he gained the upper hand. For me this was what I was seeing from him:
