I don't like chaos in my life....

At all.

I do not like it one little bit.

I do not like having other people cause chaos in my life either....

I like my house to be orderly, my life to be orderly (well as possible with a toddler) and I like calm.....

I do not understand why when other people think it is OK to cause chaos in my life...

I do not understand how people think I will not hear about it,  when they gossip and say things to fit their own agenda, which ends up hurting peoples feelings, including mine.....

Particularly when the gossip is embellished to  fit their own agenda....

Women can be vicious little creatures.....

Invariably someones true colors always appear.......

And sometimes that is sad.

Thankfully I have learned to take the high road in life.  And not give in to this kind of nonsense and just get on with life and ignore it.

I have found that if you address it, it just paves the road for more nonsense.  More gossip and more nastiness.

So I take the high road and I ignore it.....I get on with life......

But, I do not forget it.  I will always remember what was said and done.

Seriously, don't people have more constructive things to do with their time?

A love story......

Yesterday we went to a party at the barn....It was great fun....
My son had a particularly good time....
He fell in love....
With a horse.

Now this horse is 17h high (VERY BIG)....
And only 4 years old....very young...

But they just seemed to enjoy each others company....

Sorry about the quality of these photos.....I snapped them with the iPhone....
While my son was not looking.....

Oh and my son put the lead line on the horse....not me.....

Just beautiful to watch these two.....

My son and this 17 hand high horse.....my son is talking to him.....

The conversation continues.....

Amazing to watch really....

A great time had by both.....

Who knows what they are saying???

Buts its love....

True love by both parties....

My son told me that they were "best friends forever mummy"......And I truly think they are...

Road Trip

Well we have a show coming up, so we are working very hard....I have to say my trainer, Gabriel, has me feeling far more confident. He took us on a road trip to the barn where he is a resident trainer on Friday, to see how Tee would go working at a new facility in different surroundings....

He was a star.....

Honestly, could not be more proud ofnhow he behaved himself. Just a really good boy.

But it also became clear to us that if we want to get to the levels we think we can compete in, then I need to be under Gabriel's watchful eye and to do that I need to be at the barn he is based at.

So we are moving. Well, Tee is moving.

I have to say I am excited for my horse....I want him to succeed....

It is my job to get him there, with training, feeding, care and attention, I have to give him all the best tools to be the best he can be.

I was talking to a lovely lady the other day who is a fellow rider, a very good rider, about a comment made to me about owning the biggest flashiest horses....I don't own the biggest flashiest horse. I own a lovely horse, yes, but he is not a huge European Warmblood....

But we both agreed, that you are far better off, becoming the rider, that no matter what horse you rode, you MADE it look like the biggest, flashiest horse.....

That is the rider I want to be....and that is what I am going to focus on....
