3 Years With Bluey// Look How Far We've come

sorry for the long video.. :P so on 29th July it has been 3 years since ive had bluey, so yeah bit of delayed video lol so these clips he is age from 3-6 so he is amazing for his age Well anyway im so proud of my pony, he really has gone through so much like with his operations and stuff and also his training, when I got him off gypsys he was just sat on had kids hang from his neck and hit him, he was un saddle broken, didn't know what jumping was, was scared of being tied up and wouldn't let me touch his legs... now I can leave him tied up out on his own for how ever long and when im giving him a bath I sit on a stool with his leg on my lap so I can scrub his feathers, which I trust him so much, the video just really just explains the rest of how far he's come and improved. Blueys story Okay well bluey was never even for sale therefore wasn't even advertised, how we found him was like fate, I went on a horse sales website just before I was about to give up looking for a horse and I scrolled down the page and found a 13.2hh? lemon and white light weight 3yr old pony who sounded perfect but way too small but I showed my mum anyway who persuaded us to ring up bout him well anyway he was sold 2 weeks earlier and just before we put the phone down we asked if they had another horse for sale and they said.. well no but we do have another horse we might have to sell in the future and as they described him was 'blue and white gypsy cob gelding 14'1hh and 4yrs old, lots of feather and 'backed' well my dream horse! Well they said they would ring 20 min later and they did, 2 hours later we set off for a 50mile journey to view bluey. on the way our sat nav broke and we got lost and was parked on the side of the road for like an hour lol. Well we got to where bluey was and we saw a horse in the field and me and my mum was like 'omg look at that horse I bet that's not him' turned out it was! They called his name and he walked through the heard and came to them. We decided to buy him after just sitting on him bare back as he wasn't saddle broken, four days and £1050 later he was ours and Well when we viewed him he was smaller than 14.1hh and he was 3yrs not 4 old and was a rig. Okay so from when I got him till we left the old yard, ( July 2009 -- March 2010) he hated to work in the school, kept walking backwards, spinning around, running back to the gate, only would go on one certain rein and so much more and that was every time I rode him, there was nothing physically wrong with him he just hated being at the old yard, as he completely change for the better when we moved yards.. even though he will still have his moments which you can see in the video... but them are rare that he would do them not like at the old yard when he used to do it every time I rode.. and after what people said to me... I was kept being told to get rid of him, to get a better horse and that bluey would kill me and he is dangerous... (he has never done anything to hurt me or has shown nasty or dangerous behaviour. ) he was 'scraggy and rank' and he obvious had no training and that I was going to 'break' him people were critting us even before I even got bluey. people didn't give him a chance and critted us because what he looked like... yes when I got him he wasn't saddle broken/ trained, had worms, was underweight and was short and under condition and really loved the mares but not now, he just needed a chance. But a march 2010 he went severely lame which then the VET told us he had a stab wound from someone.. he also lost that much weight at the old yard you could see all his ribs and hip bones he went very very hyper and was getting worst as he was being fed loads of oats instead of proper feed ( we weren't in charge of what he ate) as he was on 'full livery' .. we then moved to this yard. And about 2 years ago he had two operations.. Had to go 2 weeks on injections everyday.. And 6 months off work.. And not once did he care, he has been through so much.. Lucky he had someone like me who ignored or those comments and believed in him cuz god knows where he would be now otherwise. Also who would have ever thought I'll take him to a show where we got 3 4ths at his fist ever outing to another yard show where we got 2 1st, 2nd and 5th and to Solihull riding club :) Mainly over the past two years we have gained so much confidence in each other and our bond is just becoming stronger and stronger, his schooling is improving so much and we just have so much fun with each other, just something we couldn't really do in the first year together. Also now the horse who you seen in the first part of the video is now the horse who I go out hacking on our own for hours.. passing open fields with tractors, combine harvesters, cows, other horses on the roads, going under motorway bridges, passing cars, tractors, cyclist and motorbikes and more all on our own :)
