No Excuses..365 Days Milo

** with the upmost repsect to jazz..
well done grace, do me a favour and with yours and milos partnership, reach what me and cicero will never be able to reach :( x my little angel will look down on you and help you out when you need it just look up to him and he will look down on you x
of course i will hun we are all thinking of you!:)

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Graces mum here...

You have to stick at it for a while at least to know if its right or not. Don't feel ashamed or a failure if you are honest enough to realise its not the right p'ship. Keep up with the lessons thats really important. In the end Grace and Milo were not right for each other and we had to make the decision to move on, hes a wonderful horse but it didn't gel...sad but thats the way it goes s'times, give it a while, keep in touch, we've been there & understand, more than u think.x

Sorry to be along time coming back to you all...but big thank yous to everyone that has supported Grace through the jouney with Milo and on to the new boy Simon. Yet again she has a new chap, and hes not'/hasn't been easy, but there again shes not that sort of girl heh!!, but she saw his potential from being a field horsie for 12 months, and we are grateful to have him, and its a brilliant partnership, cos we love him and hes amazing...check him out...xxx

Jazz wanted you to reach what she hadnt with Cicero, you should of done it for her and showed that you could do it with Milo. I no that people change and you need something for challenging but you could have done it.

You Yt ubers could think I am just saying this, but Grace and Milo could never, just have lived up to them, it was never about this...its wrong to think it was. Jazz an Cic were magical, butin their own way, we all hoped we could live up to this wonderful pair, but what we didn't realise was just how good they were..it was thier time. short that it was, blessx(love you both), but they were unique...just let G do it on her own with the new baby,Jazz would agree..its the future

I was thinking about giving up my loan horse, hes green and ive been out of the saddle for a year. I thought id bitten off more than i can chew. On reflection, hes made loads of progress in the last 3 months, but i just feel like its taking too long to get where i want to be. This video made me think...No matter what people say, keep up the determination and never give in, because i WILL acheive what seems now, like the impossible. THANKS :)

Graces mum here...

Don't you give up, never mind what people say, even if they are horrid and their comments are shi-, you go for it!!!!xxx

[littlemisschatty13]

did you buy milo off of simonsponygirl ??xxxx

[GirlWithAGuitarx]

the same thing happened with my sister, she took ages to get with her horse, we went to a training session and he jumped out of the arena twice, she was always falling off, broke a filler at an event, and now they've done be novice, and shes moving on, hes the best horse she owned and shes had so many amazing years with him, miracles happen :)

[xkanethebeastx]

This is a really inspiring video to see you both then and how you improved...Im struggling not to give up on mine and sell him after just 2 months...I know itll be worth it, but i cant help feeling ive bitten off more than i can chew and just shoulda got a little whizzy pony instead! Thanks xxx

Totally and utterly inspiring. This happens to so many people, myself included, and its so sad how often they blame their horse or give up etc. Thank you for making this video.

[TrotSlow]

btw, apologies for the long comment, and the rushed part at the end of the second 1! was runing out of space, bt agen, thank-u for bringing me bak down 2 earth and realising that things dont happen by magic, and i neeed 2 work for what i want :)

[TrotSlow]

*** and hasnt done much, and that I am expecting too much from him, expecting him to be amazing and that i shoudl be winning everything, and then when we dont, i feel like i am letting him down. but this video made me realise that i shouldnt expect so much of him, but to enjoy him and that things will come in time. I also realised that he is completely different to the pony i used to have ( a 12.2hh Welsh B mare, Charlie is a 15hh cob so totally difo) and so i should give it time with him. :)

[TrotSlow]

can i just say, thank-u for putting this video up! I have had my gelding for nearly a year now and I feel like i am getting no-where with him. we havent dun much over the winter because the weather has been awful and we have no manege or anything, just a field, so the only thing we could do was hack out and now the summer is starting to come we are entering more shows and i seem to be havin so many bad days with him. this video has made me realise that i am xpecting 2 much of him, hes only 9 ***

[malueblue]

really goood sad that you stil had to sell him in the end thoughh

was the clip at 1.48 at weston lawns? x

[XxmidnightriderxX]

i thought it was end of my riding career.. youve really inspired me to keep going.. although its a slightly different story.. but theres always the happy ending to the once upon a time fairytale.. and youve got there.. youve done it .. and most of all youve not only proved all those bitches wrong, youve proved to yourself and milo.. you can do it! .. anyone can do it if they want.. and giving up isnt the key to success.. well done..xxx
