Moved Again, For The Final Time.....Hopefully.

Monday, 15 December 2014

So it's happened again and I've moved Legacy. This time she's in one of the best yards in my area with an outdoor school, cross country jumps near by and also a small hack from the beach.
As far as I'm aware she hasn't been in an outdoor school, so this would be her first time working there, as the yard is also a farm there are many different animals such as sheep, cows, pigs and chickens around which she hasn't seen before, this is taking her a little time to get used to.

The first time I rode her in the school there were some sheep around the school, when she seen them she shot to the other half of the arena, the funny thing is the sheep didn't even move. Now being in a new place she has to become used to all these new things, it will take her time but she'll get there.

So far she's been ridden in the school twice, once on her own and once with another. While she was with the other horse I found her very fizzy and wanting to take off, the result I came to with this was that she thought she was back racing and wanted to do nothing but that. I think there was around 3 times where I felt like she was going to take off and jump the school fences out. Thankfully I managed to get control before that happened any of the times. All the joys of re schooling an ex racehorse I suppose.

This was just a quick update on where she is now and now I have a decent place to work with her, hopefully I will be able to achieve what I want with her. Will be back with another post with a feed supplement review within the next 2 weeks.

Moving Home

Saturday, 18 October 2014

Since having Legacy she has been in 3 different yards, the 3rd is where she is now and where I hope to keep her for a long while. All of the yards that she's been in have served their purpose and where great in their own way but we didn't get along with some of the people in the first yard which was a big disappointment as they are the only yard in a good amount of distance to my own that has an indoor arena, now with the weather in the UK as bad as it is I then had the go ahead to ride throughout the winter no matter the weather. Like I said this didn't work out so we moved to a field close by and she was great there but due to the bad weather there was plans for her to be moved again. There was no great shelter in the field and it puddled bad when it poured down with rain.

Being the softie I am when we had the bad weather there was times when I couldn't sleep due to worrying if she would be warm enough, if her rug would let the water run through (all brand new) etc. After all this I was finally able to find another yard who would take her and allow us to have a stable.

So now when the weather does get really bad I will be able to stable her and both of us have a good night sleep. Plus this yard is in a much more convenient place to try and hack her to my home.
