Kye- A Hobbleberry's Journey In 12 months time, my human and I are determined to do a BE80 One Day Event for charity. This is my diary, me, The Hobbleberry and my Wobbleberry Tracy

I'm a 15 year old Dutch Warmblood horse called Kye. This is the diary of my 12 month journey to completing a BE80 One Day Event for the "Wobbleberry Challenge" in aid of the "Willberry The Wonder Pony" charity set up by the inspirational late Hannah Francis. Sadly, I can't do it alone, so I have to be handicapped, I mean accompanied by my incredibly wimpy human Tracy Brett, she's the Wobbleberry i

n the duo. She's nicknamed me The Hobbleberry as I have a condition called navicular which basically means I've got poorly feet so I have to be a bit careful what I do (...and I cost her oodles of money on very special shoes..Hurrah!). But when my human told me what Hannah went through during her battle with cancer, and the charity she left as her legacy, we couldn't wait to sign up and start raising some money to do our bit for
My human is doing a private diary but I thought I'd set up a public page of our "journey" over the next 12 months. It's going to be a challenge, for sure, she's an incredible wimp who wraps me in cotton wool, she's terrified of EVERYTHING, especially if it involves riding off of a perfectly even surface out of walk, involves a corner she can't see round, and she hasn't let me do so much as a trotting pole for 18 months. She says that every day is a challenge where I'm concerned which makes me very proud, I like to keep her on her toes. She has a serious sense of humour failure with my constant field and shoe removal antics...oh and she says I keep her poor.....very poor...
We've been together for 9 years and we've had some scary times, I nearly passed over the Rainbow Bridge 3 years ago during not 1 but 2 life saving operations (I don't do things by halves ;-) !), we've had some tough times but we've had amazing times together too. She has taken out shares in "Nice and Easy" hair dye and Kleenex (...she cries...a lot...) since she's known me but I know she adores me really, who wouldn't??!! We are a team, I'm her Hobbleberry, and she's my Wobbleberry and we are Nothing If Not Determined :-)

Kye, my Hobbleberry, there'll never ever be another you, my once in a lifetime boy.
I will think of you every day and picture you not walking over The Rainbow Bridge but rather galloping across it, sqealing and bucking before screeching to a halt and shouting
" I'm here, let the mayhem begin! "
Missing you more than I can bear,
your Wobbly One ###xx

What's at the end of the rainbow?
A golden boy called Kye.
We've had our luck turn around before when this has happened so let's hope some better times are on their way x
🤞💖🦄🌈

Everything will be ok in the end, If it's not ok, it's not the end ❤

Well, still waiting for my meds to work their magic 😕, not there yet 😔.
However, I've not been idle in my semi retirement and I'm starting an allotment in my field, The Wobbly One found this today....my first crop !! 😂😂

So, it seems like The Wobbly One is buying a new horse, one tail hair at a time!
I don't mind though and I would hope that if she ever needed to sell me, our friends may contribute to my £2.50 sale fee so we could stay together 🤣!!
Have a read and spare a penny or 2 if you can to keep Art with Jonty and own for yourself a teeny tiny bit of a champion horse x

We spoke to Jonty Evans about saving his beloved horse Art from being sold. In this emotional interview, Jonty tells us why Art is so special.

Soooo, you may have noticed I've been a little quiet lately and sadly it's because I'm not at my best at the moment 😔🤕🤒
For the past few months the Wobbly One has noticed a steady decline in my energy levels and a definite lack of enthusiasm for life in general.
After lots of investigations and speaking to clever people about my diet and well being, it seems I may have a condition called PPID or Cushings as it was more commonly known.
It's a bit of a bummer to be honest but I've got pills that I have to take every day for the rest of my life so we are crossing everything this brings me back to my old mischevious, lively self very soon.
It's only been a week on the tablets but the Wobbly One and all of her wonderful supportive friends are watching me very closely for any change.
We are booked in for a horse camp at the end of this month but not sure if we'll make that now 😣😣
But never say never and heres hoping xx

Another visit to Rabson Manor Cross Country Schooling today for me, this time with my fellow Danish buddy Eddy and Becky Hall and Duncan Banks and Zaf.
Here's a little clip of me and Eddy warming up.
Great fun (stayed upright today thanks to spikey studs, bonus!) and can't wait to get out again real soon 😃😃

So today Me and The Wobbly One FINALLY went and did some cross country training 😀
Unfortunately, I somehow managed to have a fall even before we'd started jumping, not sure what occurred but one minute we were cantering round, next I'm on the floor next to the Wobbly One. Took me a minute to catch my breath but all ok.
Unnerved us both a bit so we stuck to being a bit cautious today but we'll be back, wrapped in bubble wrap but we're nothing if not determined.

Great lesson today with Marie Kent, trying to explain how to do half pass correctly.
If only the Wobbly One could just decide which is her left and which is her right a little quicker, we could be amazing.....👈🤔😣😲👉

When the Wobbly One has spent all morning bathing you, then catches you thinking about having a cheeky roll #NothingToSeeHere

Happy 1st day of Spring everyone....😕☔💧 Let's hope day 2 is a little more Spring like...

Wahoooo! 6 weeks in and today I'm free!! Best roll ever but strange lack of coordination with my legs! Tiny turnout area for a bit for short periods of time til The Wobbly One is happy I'm going to be at least moderately sensible then back to my own field real soon 😀😀😀

Ahhhhh, nothing like a naked roll and a close up camera selfie 😁!

Fantastic end to a marvellous sunny Wednesday, my personal Physiotherapist Nicky Desailly arrived to give me a massage. Normally the Wobbly One only lets her visit about every 3 months but last time I was a bit sore so she only came 2 weeks ago, RESULT! Even better, I told her about my challenge of getting the Wobbly One around this event thing and all the hard work I'm going to have to put in, so she's back again 4 WEEKS FROM NOW! This challenge just keeps giving! Last time Nicky came she told Mum I needed a Tens Machine too. This is great and is bringing on my twerking a treat ready for the "Strictly Come Prancing" or "dressage" section of the event. Check out my moves below....pretty funky hey? Sing " I like to move it" in your head while you watch me, my Grand Prix tune I think ;-)
