New beginnings...

Well. So I know I've never been the best at blogging or the most consistent but a whole 5 months without a blog is probably a new record, oops! Obviously 5 months is way too long to catch up on in one blog post, so you will just have to fill in the blanks yourself I am afraid and I shall start a fresh as of today; hopefully next year I will do better! The last few months have been fairly quite pony-wise anyway as it seems I've been working every hour under the bloody sun and have had no time to get anything done or the motivation to do so either really, but last Sunday the ponies moved to a new yard and I dropped some hours at work so hopefully now I can get back on track fingers crossed! Sparkie is being his usual chilled self and has taken everything in his stride, rode him a few days after he arrived and he was super duper. Jack on the other hand is not so keen and turned into a bit of a devil horse for the first few days, quite a few kicks have been aimed at my head in the last week and he's had a few choice names other than Jack. He's currently trialing Equifeast C, C & C for five weeks to see how he gets on which seems to have made a difference as the last 2 or 3 days he's been a star, he's even stayed in all day two days on a trot; a miracle considering this time last week he was trying to jump the door and throwing himself on the floor! Even had a couple of people on the yard comment on how quiet and well mannered he is and ask if I'm sure it's the same horse they saw at the start of the week so clearly something is going into that little brain of his. He is looking so, so well at the moment, honestly I've never seen his coat so shiny and soft, just wish I could get him all clipped out and looking super smart but that's an  adventure for another day (or another year more likely haha!). He did have a bit of a tidy up today though and actually fell asleep when I was pulling his mane, he didn't even fidget when I sprayed his forelock. Sparkie's turn tomorrow for a fresh hair cut and to finally trim his tail so he no longer represents a bedraggled rapunzel! 
 Again I apologise for the lack of blogging, hopefully I shall remember to keep on track. Have some pretty pictures of some of the things that have happened since my last blog...
