The yard of chaos

06/12/2023

2 poly tunnels erected bushes cut out to put them back into for wind protection,it's made the yard bigger and a shelter for horses forgot the pic for that one get one when I'm up there next slowly getting there, my highlight of today was Paul falling of the chair just wish I was videoing it only Paul can put his foot through the hole in the chair 😂😂😂been a very cold past few days but it needed doing 👍

Sorry the page has been quiet Dave and Paul have spent 2 solid days building shelters and storage tunnels in the freezing icey weather getting the yard sorted. Went for a quick visit earlier and it’s looking awesome. Nice to see the horses have been in the shelter too ❤️ got a feeling it’s lightning 😂 they said he had a good bum scratch on it yesterday, will probs be flattened next time we go 😂😂 ### 🌹

When these 4 refuse to come to the usual spot to get there second feed of the day and demand we walk a few acres with 4 buckets full of horsey goodness, watched us slosh in the melted sludge and slip on the not melted ice 😩 had to stop for a pit stop before I keeled over from trying to keep up with Dave 😂😂 I was built for feed not speed 😂 just like these 4 ### 🌹

Morning 🐴

29/11/2023

Once in every equestrian’s life, they will meet a special horse.

This horse wont necessarily be a Badminton winner or dressage champion. They won’t always carry multiple titles or be the most talented with the best breeding.

Very often, these horses are nothing more than ordinary. They might have the odd lump here or a strange marking there. They probably won’t tick all the boxes for conformation and they will probably have some character “quirks” that not everyone will be able to see past.

You don’t find these horses, they find you. They can come to you by accident or hide in plain sight. They are the one rescued from the meat man or the one in the last stable at the dealing yard. They are the last horse you go to see before you give up searching or the scruffy three year old stood in a field of mud. They are the horse you never even knew you needed.

People will raise an eyebrow when you say this is your “best horse”. Not everyone will see what you see and that’s ok because this horse will be special to you. They will unlock little things inside you and make you feel more at home than you’ve ever felt anywhere else in your life.

They may not always be easy, in fact they might be anything but easy, but it doesn’t stop you loving them. I’m not saying the will follow you round the arena with no lungeline, or that you can ride them tackless down the beach... but you’ll have your own connection that is hard to describe and even harder to explain.

There is no rhyme or reason as to why this horse is so special. You don’t have to have won at every event or defied death together to validate your relationship, it just happens.

You won’t feel this way about another horse. Sure, there will be ones that come close and it doesn’t stop you loving any other horse just as much as this one, but this one is special. This is your heart horse.

Some people stumble across their heart horse early on in their life, others wait a lifetime to meet, but somewhere out there is a horse that was made for you, so if you haven’t met them yet... be patient, they will find you.

They might not always be the horse you want, but they will always be the horse you need

horses… lots of Fs and offs this morning! Woken up to both phones ringing and the doorbell ringing 1st thought was omg Someone’s died, then thinking omg sky isn’t at home what’s happened, luckily it was our neighbours to tell us the horses had escaped! Sigh of relief no one’s died! Then thinking omg what if there on there on the road or the motorway! Luckily all 4 of the hoofy s**ts were in the care home garden locked in eating there perfectly groomed green w**d free pride and joy of a garden 🙈 operation get them back on the yard was going great till Casper decided he’s going back in to the forbidden garden at full pace which caused the grand national part two of a stamped of 4 horses tearing up the the forbidden garden of greeness! Paul arrives and Casper gives the look of “o s**t, the boss is here, we’re f**ked” horse back in field, fed, and grounded for life! field made safe and back home for a shower ready for the next s**t show 🙈 get a horse he says it’s so therapeutic he says 😂 I need therapy after today and deffo not with a horse 😂😂😂
