It looks like a place I'd be interested in going to for my placement year and I was wondering if anyone knew it and could tell me what they thought of it!
Cheers :)

Horsey uni placement wanted Sept '13 - August '14
Hey all!
I am currently in my second year studying BSc (Hons) Animal Behaviour and Welfare at Plymouth University and next year I get the opportunity to go on a placement year to gain some practical experience with animals before I go back to uni to do my final year.
I plan to work with horses at some point after uni, hopefully in natural horsemanship and horse whispering with troubled horses and so I'm looking to gain as much experience as possible with horses in general.
So...
CAN YOU HELP ME?
Do you own a stud yard, competition yard, trekking centre or horsey related business ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD and would you be looking for or willing to take on a hard working horse lover for 3-6 months (possibly longer depending on different placements) between September 2013 and August 2014?
I have been riding for over 9 years, I owned my own pony for 3 of those years and have had work experience at 2 riding schools so am experienced in general horse care and yard maintenance.
If you would be interested in taking me on or know someone that would, please email me on beanzloveshorses@gmail.com :)
Thanks!

Horses - not just a hobby...they're a way of life!
This video is a must see for people that see horses as a way of life!
I don't own it, I just came across it today and thought I would share it :)

Current favourite breed
I love all horses, but I've always had a favourite breed at one time. Over the years these have included;
The Gypsy Vanner...
...the Thoroughbred...
...the Andalusian...
...the Oldenburg...
...and the Arab.
Currently however my favourite horse breed is the Friesian! They're gorgeous, big, black and powerful yet graceful. They're good at dressage but can also be crossed with Thoroughbreds to make good all round sports horses.
Check out these pictures and videos of their awesomeness :D

Anyone need a rider?
I was just wondering if anyone in South Devon in England was looking for someone to ride their horse for them sometimes when they were busy. I want to work with horses when I'm older and obviously riding is expensive so the more free riding I can get (whilst benefiting you) the better :D I've been riding since I was 10 (9 years now!), I had my own pony for 3 years until my mum got too ill to help train me (she was a qualified instructor and Michael Whittaker's first flatwork trainer...unfortunately I can't remember all the other people she worked for/trained that she mentioned when I was younger). I can walk, trot, canter, gallop (woohoooo haha) and jump! I am quite tall (5ft8.5/174cm) so I'd probably have to be riding around 15.2hh+. Below are some pictures of me riding over the years to prove I'm not a liar :P Would be nice to get an offer from someone! Beanz x
This is me on Blackie at my favourite place to ride in North Yorkshire in 2010, he's an American trotter but the owners trained him to canter and gallop normally...although when he gets excited or nervous he goes back into the crazy fast trot which is reeally bumpy!
This is me on a horse I rode on my 14th birthday (2007) on the beach in Wales :)
This is me on Eclipse on my 17th birthday in 2010.
Me on Blue in 2010 doing my AS PE cross country jumping :)
Me on my old pony Gem :)

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron - my favourite movie!
My absolute favourite movie! Even though it's a cartoon, it still displays well the wild spirit, joy at freedom and love that a horse has (for each other and even for humans)...that I like to think I have. It's obvious the main character Spirit was named so because of the strong spirit he demonstrates throughout the movie, especially when he gets very feisty whilst the humans try and tame him. The scenes when he is galloping through the grassy plains move me deeply because I would love to be in that situation...as a horse or at one with a horse...the both of us wild and free.
Below I have put some pictures from the movie to give you an idea of what it's like if you haven't seen it before. I also know where you can find the movie online so pm me if you're interested in watching it! Without giving too much away it's about a mustang who grows up from foal to stallion, gets captured by humans who want to work him, he escapes and befriends a Red Indian and falls in love with his mare :)

Cancelled :(
All the other people on my ride cancelled so they wouldn't do it just for me...I've ridden in a blizzard there before, bit of rain isn't going to hurt...wimps! I'd been looking forward to it for 4 months! Don't know when I'll next get to ride...
What do you guys do to get your horsey fix when you can't ride?

Riding
I'm going riding on Thursday at my most favourite place on the North York Moors! Yay for summer riding...I hope the weather will be good! As an all weather rider I've ridden in some horrible snowy blizzards, hail and rainstorms but I never enjoy them as much as in good weather when I can focus on my riding better and the beautiful scenery.
I will make sure I post some pictures on here...I'm excited because as a poor student, I haven't ridden since the Easter holidays! Although I intend to join the riding society at uni this year...

A place I'd recommend
Caistor Equestrian Centre in North Lincolnshire (UK) is a great place to ride or keep your horse. They were really accommodating to me when I needed some cross country lessons for my AS PE coursework. I don't ride here regularly but it was the only place in the northern part of the country that I knew was really good because I'd ridden there before on holiday. It was a bit of a schlep because I don't even live in Lincolnshire but it was worth it.
It looks super fancy with the giant floodlights over the outdoor arena and huge indoor arena and stabling area but the people are really down to earth and I made a couple of friends on my work experience week that I still talk to on Facebook.
They have a cross country course on the new side and the old side (over the road) too. I believe there are also weekly dressage and show jumping competitions, 1 day events every so often and master classes with Joe Whittaker amongst other people. They also have summer camps and special activities during the holidays.

Here are some of the pictures taken of me riding there. I'm not so great at jumping and need lots more practice (confidence) but I figured I'd still share them :)

Some of my drawings :)
I'm not an artist but I love to draw horses. I got back into drawing this summer because I had lots of free time because I get 4 months summer holiday at my uni! I intend to keep drawing because practice makes perfect and I'd like to be much better. I thought I'd share with you some of my older and more recent horse drawings, hope you enjoy!
I drew this one over two weeks ago whilst dog sitting for someone. I'd been linked the original and needed to kill some time so decided to do it. http://9gag.com/gag/5005468 (<--- link to the original)
I drew the next ones a couple of years ago but only scanned them into my laptop a few months ago. This is a copy of a rearing horse poster I had in my room, I can't find the original image but I think it was similar to the one on the link http://nogoodforme.filmstills.org/images/black-stallion-rearing.jpg
This next one is meant to be an Andalusian as far as I can remember, I can't find the original picture but I got it off google images.
This is meant to be a Lipizzaner but I'm not sure where I copied it from, probably google images.
The head isn't so great in this next one but I like the body which is odd for me because I'm usually better at heads.
Just a random horse head, in the original picture it was doing dressage.
In the next few drawings I focused in on different parts of a horse's head.
It's a horses hoof...the best one I've ever drawn actually. When I draw them on a full horse they usually go wrong.

Hi and welcome!
Welcome fellow horse lovers to my blog about all things horsey! :) I'm hoping to fill it with a little bit of everything so it should include my horsey adventures, drawings of horses, horses in the news, amazing pictures of horses I find on Google that I need to share, horsey products and anything else I find interesting to do with horses that I think you will to.
To set the ball rolling, here is an awesome picture I found of a horse kicking a ball...much better than when the footballers do it! (PS I don't own the picture, I found it here http://www.metro.co.uk/news/63157-horse-shows-it-can-play-football)
Spread the horsey love! :) xxx
