so i dont really have many clips showing our progress due to the computer last year wipping everything off itself so i lost everything i had =( so iv only got footage from beggining of last year to the beggining of August when she was sold =(

OMG I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF! gah this videos so annoying =( uploaded it before but was bloody copyrited! gah deleted it then without saving description which took for ever so now gonna have to re do it! grrr so here we go again....

i'm not gonna go into much detail as last time as i cant be bothered so... basically nearly 4 years ago this November i went to see Annie, she was amy babysitters grandaughters pony, 14.2hh 8yo arab x connemara, didnt really want her on the way up as i thought she'd be to small but as soon as i saw her i really wanted her =) when i saw her owner ride her and see how fluid she was and how she would just glide around, i'd never seen a horse like her and now had the opportunity to buy her so the next day we gave them the deposit and 2/3 weeks later she arrived home =)
after having her a week and a bit and getting to know her i went up for a lesson with Verity Perry from Rosevidney. she was nothing like she was with her old owners, she would suddenly trot really fast and then barley move and the canter was even worse! shed just bolt around everywhere out of control! though id seen what she could be like if i really tried and id always like a challenge and was not one to give up easily SO i practiced and practiced cantering and trotting and gradually it all started coming together =D i was so excited and pleased and thought wed gotten over the worst of it! that was until we tried jumping... id never jumped before so was kinda nervous about doing it which didnt really help but my teacher put up a tiny little cross pole which we tried - disaster; as soon as i pointed her to it she just bolted straight at and completley mullered both of us! my confidence once again plumited so for the next 2-3 months we practiced cantering collectdely to a trotting pole over and over again until she calmed down and realised it wasnt anything exciting. whilst this was going on however it gave me a chance to really bond with annie, id spend hours before and after going for a ride just sitting talking to her, grooming and genually making a fuss of her and slowly she began to trust me and our bond started to develop, slowly at first but the more confident we both got and the more she trusted me the better we both became and were soon jumping! admitadly to begin with it was only around 1ft but still! everyone has to start somewhere ;)
from then on we kept getting better and better, the jumps grew with our confidence and soon i was doing things i only ever dreamed of doing! i started riding bareback, even bareback and bridleless at one stage =) started jumping bareback, our record was 2'6 ;) and then earlier this year we jumped the highest wed ever done together 1m10 =) i thought this year wold be our year to shine and we got off to an amazing sart, went to our first ever show together and got placed in every class we did =) it was amazing though unfortunatly id out grown her, i was 5'4 when i got her and am now 5'7/8 so when Ted came along; a 6yo 15.2h thoroughbred, absolutly goregous i just couldnt say no so we started trying to sell annie and 2 weeks ago she left =( it was the hardest thing iv ever done but i just didnt have time for her anymore and shes enjoying her new home though i miss her so so much =(
