do you like her riding you're horses?
I don't mind! She rides really well and does a good job! One of the few people I would trust on them. I just prefer riding them myself so I know exactly what point there at and how there feeling etc :)

do you ride all your horses by yourself? how many do you have in work?
Most of them Nat occasionally rides a couple but I try to ride them all myself :) I have 11 that I need to have in work ATM but just taking it a wee bit easy at the moment as fractured my shoulder 5 weeks ago so just allowed to start riding again :)

What was your dream yesterday?
Ride at badminton horse trials
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
thank you so much! :) I just don't think my parents are going to give me any financial backing so I will have to have an evening job on top of a working pupil role or something so I can afford to live hahaha
Yea haha a lot of working pupils get food and accomidation in return for work etc so try find something like that :)
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
how did you go about starting your work with horses? I really want to make a living from riding next year, but I'm not sure quite where to start going about it... :/
I went and took a few working pupil positions with people who had done it before and I have an instructor who I work really closely with who helps me out when I'm feeling stuck she's great! The easiest way is to have a plan of exactly what you need to achieve to make it work etc feel free to flick me a fb message or text :) happy to give you a hand

do you manage to make a profit with the work you do with horses? (not in a rude way, just out of interest)
Yes I do :) I'm paying the bills myself
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
how much do you reckon sollys worth if you were to sell him right now?
I've been made offers round 25k for him but he's not for sale so I don't need to think about a price for him anyway! If someone wants him that badly they will have to name a price I can't refuse.

sorry if this sounds dumb but what causes bone chips in his fetlocks? because I thought he was sound when you first got him, did it develop when you had him or were they already there? sad :( poor man
I think he got them on the track. So yea he had them when I got him but he hadn't been in work when I got him and I didn't know he came off the track unsound etc it's from them hitting the bone to hard I think but honestly not really sure either
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
What do you like about the person you dating?

Oops! Sign up is required for that.
aw is he sore now? so sad :( why dont you offer to buy him back so that he isnt going to be jumped?
I don't have a paddock for him? He's always sore! He has bone chips floating in his fetlocks
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
wow seems harsh he is in a pelham now :/ I remember when you got him and he was soft as
Yea bit sad but what works works I guess he gets strong when he's sore which is sad
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
what do you think about how freddie has been going with his current owner?
Makes me very sad he's out jumping as he was sold by me to a low level home due to having bone chips and being unsound (was lame on bute for 3 months) and I told her that before she brought him. Pretty upset but if he's happy I'm happy. Also had him in a straight leather bit he was so soft so a Pelham seems a bit harsh

If you've got a business in training horses, you shouldn't even be at pony club. You should be well above that level
I have a lot of young horses that benefit from the events and rallies. I also believe in giving back what I've been given and teaching the young kids at pony club does that and also a lot of clients come from pony club. There's heaps of top riders who still have things to do with pony club
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
what about your own friends? make sure you keep "friends" and "clients" seperate :)
To my close friends there's nothing wrong with me and I know that it's my friends at pony club that are putting me down and I don't think that's all coming from me tbh I think PC has gotten quite clicky and if you fall out with one person in a group everyone sides with certain people. Honestly I just need people to be straight up and tell me what the issue they have with me is rather then causing a lot of **** because I would change if I knew
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
Maybe the business isn't suitable for you then, maybe there's a better option in the horse industry for you? I'm trying to help you not put you diwn
I love the business tho and I'm getting clients and I'm loving every minute of it. The clients are happy with the job I'm doing it's just people at pony club are putting me down over everything. It's hard to get started in this business and trust me I've thought about going and getting another job but honestly Steiners made me realise how much I love this one I know it's going to be tough and not everyone's going to like me I just want to know why they have an issue with me so I can try change
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
People will like someone who self doubts themself more than someone who is cocky. Don't try be or act like someone your not, just be you
How do you get clients if you don't have 100% faith in yourself tho? Who's going to send me horses to train then :/
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
is there anything you can think of that may have ****ed people off?
Well I don't know :/ I've kinda just been myself and maybe people don't like that. I think people get the feeling I use them but it's certainly not intentional I have no reason to use anyone for any reason and if I do it's not on purpose. Or they think I'm cocky but I'm not I actually just have no faith in my ability to do a good job and so I doubt myself and try to make it not seem like that by acting more confident :/ I dunno if you know what is I do let me know because I really don't want people to hate me
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
2 things you dislike about yourself?
The fact I manage to **** everyone off and I don't know why and the fact that I doubt myself so much in my riding
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
when you come back from up north will you go to your place or katies?
My place :) it's all set up and have 7 horses of my own to work a day excluding schoolers which I have a couple of booked to
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
Do you have advice for someone whos horse is very spooky to ride?
I think you asked brodie this... but just keep them moving forward and use lots of movements to keep them thinking and busy. Also try flexing them to the inside and outside and getting them straight and really rideable :) fb me if you want more help
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
Do you think it is important to have people skills in the horse world? If you wanted to get places, is having people skills important even though you're working with horses majority of the time?
I think people skills are a pretty major part of the job seeing as your schooling/breaking in/riding/buying/selling other peoples horses not just your own so you do have to be able to communicate pretty well with other people in saying that haha i think it's more important to have horse skills in the big scheme of things :P
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
where are you going up north? and why? Goals with competing for the rest of the year? and are you taking any horses up north?
Steiners (just have to finalise details and stuff) to improve my riding so i can do a better job on my horses and clients horses. Arnie competing at open with the aim of being in a Springston Trophy team. Connor to get him really happily jumping at open before moving up to 1* late in this season/early next season. Bugzy to have a couple of starts but nothing much as he's only a 4 year old and Fergus to be SOLD!!! and yup i surely am!

What is the one thing you think people hate about you?
I'm a tad over the top haha i'm prone to be completely metal and then not talk for a couple of days. I guess i'm just kinda random. Ask people on here i'm sure they have lots of reasons :)

B/c he didn't work out for the person i leased him to and they didn't get along :)
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
so which bracket then?
lol did you not get the part where i said i wasn't saying!?
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
How much did you pay for him? And you can;'t of your parents would of paid for him. (3-5k?) (6-8k) (9-10k) which bracket?
Well one it's none of your business what I paid for him seeing as you don't own him :D and two yes my parents did pay for him on the condition that they get the money they put into him back when/if i sell him. Same as all of my horses except now i'm selling horses i'm buying my new horses with the money of the one i sold previously :)
Oops! Sign up is required for that.

Oops! Sign up is required for that.
yes you do ggeorginaallan
pahahahaha
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
whats your plan for the next 2 years with your horses and riding, competions etc
this may take a while... Hudson i plan to do juniors with this season and then find a young rider who wants to do 1m and the odd 1.10m. Fergie to break in do a little bit of SJ this summer and then event a little bit next winter and then sell on or if she looks like she's going to go above open then maybe keep her for one more season and see what she does. Rayne i'm planning to do basically the same as fergie but maybe not so much 1.05m haha seeing as she is only 13.3hh ahaha gunna do some games with her to :) Bugzy i plan to get going and do some baby SJ this season and then just dressage etc next winter :) Zara i'm going to break in and then possibly put in foal see as she's only 3 i don't want her to do to much till she's 4 and leo is only just 2 years old so i'll break him in next summer and then do a wee bit and then leave him to mature more until he's 4 :) and then i'll just see what else comes along haha
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
so your saying the person you bought fred off covered up what was wrong with him?
no i'm saying they might have or that it was missed in the vet check b/c it was a joint problem and not a bone problem
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
so who are you saying covered it up?
ask me on fb if you wanna know or mind your own business! i didn't say it was def covered up i said it could have been missed to
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
who covered it up in a vet check? hows that even possible
there is lots of ways to get a horse through a vet check when it's not right or for it not to show if it's not a bone injury but a joint one
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
