Time to Unwind

Its been a strange couple of days, last night was brilliant but very tiring It was riding again and after last week which was without doubt the hardest lesson ive ever had, i was a bit aprehensive about what to expect..lol

I was given a horse last monday who was a total nightmare, theres a girl in our class Becky whos lovely but who is a very gentle spirit and the school had marked her down to ride this horse..

She wasnt happy and was really un-nerved she prefers the smaller horses so i offered to ride him and let her have the smaller one that i was earmarked for, she was really relieved and im glad i offered to swap, he was so badly behaved..lol

He gave me such a run for my money it was untrue and simply wouldnt do anything , except try to buck me off, looking back tonight it is funny, i wasnt allowed to let him beat me and give him control but my legs had literally gone, id got to the point for the 1st time riding where i couldnt do anymore, id kicked til i couldnt kick anymore, he is a huge horse and im definiately a lighweight.. lol

I didnt quit but i really didnt want to ride him last night, Im not back to strength yet after last weeks mirgaine but the teacher thankfully gave me jack last night who i totally love to bits, I got to lead the lesson and do things i havent done before so was really pleased, i am getting so excited about the jumping now i only have 2 more mondays then i get to jump again.....lol

Today ive had my sister up the unit working with my fella shes a top saleswoman so is now backing my fella and getting orders in for his web projects, theres so much going on now, I cant keep up with him sometimes, hes definiately not a quitter ive never met anyone who works harder..

Tonight I was supposed to go to belly dancing and meet my fella for salsa afterwards, but we both sat here tonight with the same thing in our heads... (no not that)...lol

I am having problems staying awake again and blaming my anemia but im struggling to find any energy tonight... My fellas sat up again all night last night working... so instead of getting our dance shoes on we're going to bed...........lol

It doesnt happen often, lately my fella hasnt even made it upstairs, but hes not arguing tonight when i said nothing sounds better to me than a bath full of bubbles, a nice glass of brandy and blissful sleep.........lol

Tomorrow i may find some spring back in my stride then............lol

Goodnight everyone ....................

Alright Jack

I feel so much better tonight , its Monday and Ive actually got out of the house away from work for an hour.............god it was lovely..

Tonight i was riding Jack, hes such a beautiful horse he does make my legs ache though ! I cant get them anywhere near his belly........lol

Tonight we all got some exciting news in a few weeks time we are starting the jumping.... yipeeeeee

God Ive missed that so much, i was always jumping at my last stables but looking back i dont know how i managed to stay on, my balance must be good that's all i can say..it wasn't down to my riding well that's for sure....hehe

I think that's probably why i loved it so much though, its was so exhilarating...

I'm so glad I'm learning technique and how to ride properly now, but theres still a part of me that loved going there Saturdays and jumping those courses, I'm tempted to go and do both places again but my fella wasn't so happy about that part.. lol

Ever since i was a small one Ive always wanted to show jump, I'm still small just a lot older now so its better late than never in my eyes........ roll on that first lesson, it cant come quick enough... I could do with some excitement ...lol

I was speaking to Kevin tonight as we were walking back, i miss going to help out at the stables but due to having to send out parcels Fridays and the bad weather we have encountered, i haven't managed to get there now for 3 weeks, that's got to change this week........Im going come what may.........

Ive worked out ill pack the stuff when i get back from Stalham and our salsa class so i can go and share those Polo's out .. apparently someones missed me...........lol my flirty horse Prince and a few of the poor sods there that have been doing my share..........bless

Its not about the work there, i know how hard work it is, but what it does bring me is inner peace, its sounds like a blond saying but that's exactly how i feel , so calm and content...

I come home shattered and so happy its wonderful, even my fella is pushing me to go back now, he knows how much it means to me being up there..im also very grumpy apparently..lol

I cant have a holiday this year but my grandmother always says "a change is as good as a rest" i never understood what she meant then, but do now.......

We've had a hard weekend with nothing but work and more work, ive tried to make it as pleasurable as possible (no dirty thoughts needed i have plenty of them already) lol but really could do with a change and some fresh air , my fella is a workaholic and wont hear of such a thing........ he'll just take his laptop outside.......lol

Im happy tonight, im now going to grab a lovely bath, a brandy (my back and legs need one) and chill out for an hour (probably fall asleep in there) ...lol

Its amazing really mother nature has a way of changing your day into a great one as much as music does..

I think ill take my headset along this week and see how good the two are together...lol

Thanks to a great group of people and one very beautiful horse ive managed to switch off from work and am smiling tonight.........

Goodnight all...............
