stupid neck.:(:(
< us two weeks ago when Graceey came over. argh, i am soooooo annoyed!!!
On tuesday (today is thursday xD) my brother dropped me on my head, Yes, I know, clever one:L
anyway so basically ive hurt my neck sooo much. ive been to the doctors and he gave me some painkillers, but no neck support and i cannot move my neck- and i cant walk around without something supoorting my neck, and right now i am using a scarf because the doctors do not give neck supports (or neck braces LOL)
Soo tommorow i am going to see a phisio therapist who has made me up a neck support and is going to do phisio on my neck bla bla. ANYWAY so all this basically means that im unable to ride/do any stabley/horsey things. I have zindy-withdrawal-syndrome not even kidding havent seen her scince tuesday:L
So Maria is doing her for me while i am unable to but i am determined to go and see her either tommorow or saturday, even if i cannot do any work. When the doctor said ' no horses for a week, maybe more' I said to him come again? how can i actually live without horses for 1 week? well, at least not zindy =/
hmm so yeah... Not too good atm.
On a positive note, Grace (XxXShebaMillyXxX) came over from france i think two weeks ago i just havent had time to post anything about it.
had an awesome time, and got some really good (if slightly crappy quality (damn my camera!)) footage of zindy and us two riding. Zindeezoop was such a sweetie that day, and really forward going (grace secretly wants her ;) ) ILY GRACE.
On tuesday (before i damaged my neck) i managed to ride Zind. My friend keisha, who isnt particularly horsey at all and is slightly scared of them, came down the yard after school - so fun- and i got a ride in. It was dark but the arena has lights so it was all good (Y)
Zindy was like a little rocket, i swear shes like, i dont even no but shes so fast latley ITS AWESOME. And altho ive never been that interested in jumping zindy before (tho i do jump at northbrook in lessons and stuff) i really REALLY wanted to this weekend- because last weekend i did (and yeah i got no footage) but now with this stupid neck it doesnt look like i will be =/
But zind was great on tuesday bless her- i actually adore her.
XxX

1/03/2009 amazing day with zindy and grace and an update (:
thankyou to Grace (XxXShebaMillyXxX) For editing that picture of zindy (: the picture is from last weekend.
Haven't written for ages! but ive been so busy with stuff.. ANYWAY..
Grace came back to england on wednesday and on saturday she came to stay with me. on sunday we rode zindy and she was actually sooo good. nice and forward going and just really fun. we took some video but its on a memory card and I either need to put it on my brothers laptop and then onto my memory stick then into MY laptop or get the little card thing you put it is :S its all abit confusing..anyway LOL soon i will have some videos up on YT, me and grace riding her and a special spoof starring Zindy (: we did have a good time.
Zindy's been going great latley, and in two months it will have been one year scince i started loaning her, and that feels actually unbelievable. I cant exactly remember the date but it was in april so ive decided our 'anniversary' can be on my birthday, April 12th.
zindy, i love you <3

The pictures on this blog are from boxing day- the most recent ones i have Lol.
today was soooo good (3.01.09!) my lesson was pretty good but zindy made the day perfect today :D
I rode zindy today and she was great- shes been lame recently so im we didnt do to much of anything, just gentle work but shes fine now :) anyway so she was untacked by someone whilst i was in the school ( i wont go into detail its long and confusing Lol) anyway so i just started running and she trotted after me. she does follow me around but like ive never really played in the arena with her before and it was just so fun. and kind of strange but mostly fun :D
Love that horse <3

hack
On saturday i finally went out on another hack :) but this time i went out with another girl from the stables, and one of her horses.
Omg it was soooooo cold i was shivering and wishing i'd taken another jumper (i already had like 3 on lol)
we went down one of the trails that they call 'the long dogs' and theres also a 'short dogs' where ive been before with zind so it was nicer to see another place we could possibly go, when its not so wet because it was pretty wet, and boggy.
we went down this long trail for about half an hour, shes completley different outside of the school. she can sometimes be strong but she was so much stronger out. pulling to get ahead and jogging on the spot, but as we reached the end of this feild bit she calmed down and just relaxed.
but after that we came onto this road bit. well i say a road i dont know how to describe it- its like this road that noone ever uses now and its part of 'the dogs' now and just basically used my dog walkers and horse riders and there horses.
but omg i was freaking scared out my head lol. because as soon as we got onto this road all you could hear was these dogs barking cos theres this house and they have like 50 dogs and they never stop barking- so zind just started playing up, being strong and trying to take off and walking sideways lol. but what made me scared was the fact that theres just feilds either side of this road- but also these HUGE deep ditches most of the way round and they stop just before you get back to the stables- and as zind was playing up i was quite worried.
it got worst when we went past the house with all the dogs, because jazz(the other horse i was with) got quite in front because, as her owner told me, she speeds up on the way back, and zindy likes to race lol, she likes to be at the front, but she was behind jazz so she was racing to keep up, but i held her back because i didnt want her taking off and spooking when these massive ditches were next to us, so she became really strong so jazz had to keep stopping to let zindy catch her.
after that it was better. it was so nice out even though it was freezing and zind was being a gay. but it was nice just being out of the yard, and riding with another horse was good for me and zindy i think (:
just as we were near the yard zindy spooked at a passing (random) chicken- which was actually quite funny and a relief she didnt spook near the ditches (:
wish i could of taken the camera though:( but ho hum- maybe next time!

DECISION!
With the help of the wonderful and grace and her mum, ive come to my decision..
< mm this camera looks tasty! zindy <3
Im not going for sarnie. theres quite a few reasons why ..
Well when grace read this blog she phoned my- but i was down the stables with zind (where else am i ? lol) anyway so her mum spoke to my mum and told me about sarnie.
He's got abit of a reputation- for being naughty- bucking when you're jumping, bolting on hacks- and those are the two main reasons why i wanted him- for hacks and jumping.
When i got back my mum told me and i was like..oh dear :/
I was so excited about sarnie- it was something new and exciting, moving on and up.
But course that changed everything- especially what my mum thought. she didnt want me to even try him out. she was really worried and i must admit i suppose i was abit too. not so much the bucking- more the bolting especially on hacks .
the next day when i went to see zindy my eyes were like welling up with tears, i felt so bad that i'd even considered leaving her. shes my life, my star and i love her more than anything, more than life.
shes so good- perfectly well behaved and she makes me laugh and smile even when i dont want to, and shes been with me through alot of this so i couldnt let her go- not now because we've (both of us) come quite along way on the riding front- and our bond, i just hope one day we can be as incredible as that girl i look up to and who's helped me through tons of things, riding related and otherwise
sorry this is abit long- but i felt like writing it

maybe moving on ?
Yesterday after my lesson i saw this lady (well shes 20) go up the rode on one of her two horses.
she lives up the road and ive seen her horses- especially the on im going to talk about (sarnie)- scince i was little.
anyway recently we (my mum and dad and me) have been talking about zindy and talking about looking for something a little closer to home because my dads driving nearly 300-400 miles aday, and when we get back from zindy (shes about 5-10 minutes from where i live) hes really tired after driving around all day and its just like alot of money on petrol.
so my mum and dad talked about getting me one of my own after christmas but i thought like maybe i should get a little bit more experiance first- so i saw karley ( the lady) come past on bruce- her horse- and i just randomly went outside and asked about the little grey. she invited me down her yard which is a two minute walk away from my house and i went with her to see sarnie.
he is absolutley ADORABLE! hes 13.2 (same as zind) and grey. he would be about 14 hh karley says, but he doesnt have any withers and has a completley flat back, but hes had a saddle made for him (:
im going to ride him next saturday, and karley was telling me he sometimes does little bucks when your riding in the school- but out on the road and hacking hes perfect..which is good because theres great places for hacking around where i am and were going out for one on saturday so she can see how i ride and if she thinks im like suited to sarnie.
the only thing is like leaving zindy and i dont know :( because i love her so much but this could be a better opitunity for me seeing as karley says she likes to go to shows alot and maybe i could show sarnie. plus hes younger but i dont know yet. we'll see what happens next saturday
