Update and Apologies Once More :)

Hello! Long-time no see! I know, I’ve been neglecting you.. sorry! So, How are you all? Good I hope. Now, update about me. I am studying nursing and currently working on clinical placement!! Eek! We have been let loose on actual patients! It’s fantastic, every day different and all that
I thankfully, have a great ward with a lovely team and all the patients have been lovely so far. I will be finishing around Christmas and leaving the ward and going back to uni after New Year. I had a few riding lessons while I was at uni and the place was great but I just didn’t find it the same as going out on Blue, I’m a very independent person and I just love the flexibility and the ability to do what I want in the moment with Blue. I can’t wait to get back for Christmas, all snow and loveliness! I shall be spending a lot of time with Blue over the holiday, so might get a few blog posts in there, I know I said it was the end, but I’m trying to sort out Blue in a different set up after new year, I will explain fully later on.

So, Blue! Apart from getting fat and hairy for winter he is doing brill! A lady has been coming up and riding him every week. Both of them get on well and Blue defo has been worked hard haha.. Shannon has been doing well as well, she is keeping the weight on for now and is all rugged up and snug. I brought her in last time I went home, which was….. let me see…. Three weeks ago :O Didn’t realise how long ago it was. Shannon was tidied up and fully ‘MOT’d by me when I brought her in. Tangent predicted….  BLUE AND I GOT OVER 3ft without dying! I know, you don’t believe me haha! In all honesty, I am quite happy about it, I set up bounces which of course Blue doesn’t understand and failed at those, then put a cross up and a straight, it was great, got over quite a good height and got a good flow going! And the tangent hit…. De-escalation….. and it’s over. That basicly sums up the recent events with the two of them J, nothing new, just the same old gorgeous ponies.

So, serious stuff now, well, hardly, as close to serious as I can get :P Due to circumstances Blue is without a rider, until we arrange another one, or a solution. Since I am coming home then and will be riding him, we aren’t looking for someone to take him on yet. I want to wait until New Year when my dad and I have talked things over and figure out what we want to do, and hopefully by then I will know where I am placed for semester 2 and have a better idea of our options. I’m hoping I will be placed near home, and be able to go home every other week and have someone else do the other weeks, but it all depends on where I will be etc.


Anyway, hopefully I haven’t bored you to death, just thought I owed you an update and clarity J Hopefully new posts soon J Adios x
