Hi guys :) I've been so bad at writing this blog that many of my readers probably don't know that I've actually got myself a job. This is pretty tough to balance alongside uni and driving Jasper in fact I wrote about it on my Lifestyle Blog because it can be hard at times. My job involves shift work and this weekend saw me getting up at 5am on both days. Not an easy feat when: a) you are meant to be revising for 3rd year exams and b) you sure as hell aren't a morning person.

While I was at sc...

Today is a really sad day for me today as my pony in a million Sarah is being sold to her new home with Kim. I am going to miss her so much. I will be honest and admit that there has been a tear or two shed about this. I think it was harder parting with her again because when she went out on loan I truly did not think she was going to come back again, so I already knew how hard it was going to be. Hopefully she will give her new owners as much happiness and confidence as she gave me. Sarah wi...

The weather is horrid here in Wiltshire today, its really damp and miserable and seriously misty despite the fact its way past noon and showing no sign of going anywhere soon. Luckily this has happened on a day where we have decided that both ponies are having a day off as Jasper has worked hard over the past week. Nothing is more frustrating on a day when the weather is lovely and you cant drive! Paid for out entry to the Indoor Championships and booked our stable so thats all sorted. Jasper...

Been a lovely sunny weekend so been driving Sarah and then after dropping my sister off at work and running to Tescos we were rushing around back home hitching the trailer on and driving to my instructer Judes yard just up the road to pick Jasper up from his week of schooling with her. What an improvement! Ok hes still not Totalis but he is much better then he was! I love riding him after Jude, its like hes been tuned up. Very glad to have him home. But him being home is also a complete pain ...

Woke up this morning to non stop rain, so when Sam from Hooves-n-Woofers arrived to do Jasper we decided to move the party to inside his stable. Today was the day where Jasper officially enters 'Boot Camp' in preparation for our trip to Keysoe. Stage one was this morning where he had a full clip and his mane pulled, so big thanks to Sam, he looks lovely and smart now. After a quick cup of tea and some lunch it was time to commence with Stage two of the plan, dropping Jasper off at my dressage...

Last few days have meant no driving for Jasper due to the snow and the very icy road on the hill we live on. Its -12 degrees here so to be honest I don't not being able to drive too much! When I went to get them in this evening the ponies decided the frustration was all a bit too much, despite the fact they have been going out in the field every day as normal as the bottom bit where they are currently grazing is for some mysterious reason the only place with no snow! Here are some pictures of...
