Happy 8th Birthday Minky!!!!

You have been my pride and joy for a year and a half now and I am proud that you own me :)

I have learnt many skills apon your back and I am truely grateful to have a loving bond with you.

Time to anounce the present of choice: a new bride :D
I would have bought Minky a rug but its far too hot to use it... I might buy her one for my birthday :)

and as far as the cake goes well... I will make Minky one for her and her horsie friends but I doubt she will share it!


well anyways I have to go and brush some more of Minky's winter coat out, she looks awful at the moment but hopefully I can make her look pretty for har party next weekend.

Well what a cwap day :(

My mummy has gon stark raving mad!!!

first it started with mummy getting me on dee float and taking me to see my bestest friend Cheeky, tat must mean dat she was going to take me to vet and then when we got there I fought I had simply got myself into a day of hard work..oh no my horsie friends its much much worse dan dat.

MY STOOPID UMAN PAINTED ME RED!!!!! she got these red tinggys out and started painting me!! what is dis? since when dose hay head get away with dis?

well anyways as I was saying my mummy started to put udder weird tinggys on me like a numba plate and a few sdickers and i didnt like it cos it was all cold and the grey tings in dee sky were crying.

as I imagined it I wood have looked like a complete idiot!

After dat I had to endure a whole hours ride, then mummy had gone to eat her hay.

she soon came back with a present: a new pink and blue head catcher and neck snake to lead me home in :) she said dat I won it coz I was dee best looking pony there (but of course dat was obvious)

den went home and mummy had to clean me cos I was all red but it was still crying from the sky and I wanted to go to sleep but mummy said she had to get dee paint off because she said it was safe but she didnt want be to get a belly ache.

den she dried me and put my rug on and I felt all nice and warm and cuddly.

Den 'esterday mummy got all scaredy coz dee hair on my belly was falling off but den she did sumthingyou umans call "googlee on the compooter" and she said I was ok and dat it was just my big hairy winter coat coming off coz she looked at the patch were dee hair came off and she saw soft and light summer hair.

Seacretly Im still scaredy but dont tell mummy coz she is convinced Im fine: she even got other horsie umans to look at it and they all said I was fine :)

well I has to get off now goz mummy has to do some "googlee" and I has to eat my hay.

mummy said she will update this post with dee picture coz her friend has to email it to her and I dont no how to put pictures up :)

bye bye for now xxx Minky :)

What is this...

Well Im glad Minky has started blogging aswell, I didnt think she would write about me eating her however.

Minky was being a really naughty girl the other week so I punished her and said she wasnt aloud and treats for a week, and then I got over it and decided to give her some attention.

Later in the holidays I invited my very good friend Amy over to come see Minky and Grotty and in all the exitement I realised that Minky's birthday is coming up in under a month so Amy and I were organising a party for her so all her horsie friends can come and see her.

And then for V.E.T we have to dress up our horses as something nice so Amy and I when out side to look at Minky so figure out what she should be dressed up as and then I had to mesure her for her costume. (that might have been when Minky thought I was going to eat her!)

so Minky has a buisy two weeks coming up and dont forget to wish Minky a happy birthday next time she writes on the blog. (p.s she's turning 9!!)


And then we come to Grotty, it was early tuesday morning and I had to go feed the horsies.

I put minky's brekky on the ground then I went to put Grotty's brekky on the ground when I noticed that there was a big chunk missing from her chest!!!

Trying not to get to upset I ran inside and told dad, then me and dad bolted outside and put some anti septic on her chest and we called the vet.

The next day the vet came out and cut this flap of skin off her chest and perscibed anti biotics to her, so every day and night I have to inject her with antiboitics so Grotty can get all better.

I must say Grotty is handeling this very well and I feel very sorry for her as it mush hurt alot chek out the wound:




Gross eh?
Well im off to give Minky a brush I need to prepare her for dress up day next week
guess what she's going to be.... a Ferari race car!!!

Ok bye for now :)

Mummy has gone weird.

OK, dont tell my mummy I did dis but I sneaked on to her blog to tell you that I am really worried about her, she put all deese yummy tings In my dinner and I dont know why because I havn't done anyting good, dee other day she said I was being a baad pony and that I wasnt aloud to have any presents dis week and den she gave me all dees apples and oats and lots of other yummy tings.

mabey she forgived me, or mabey its some evil plan like shes gonna make me all fat and then eat me!!
oh that would be baad, mabey I should ask Grotty if she can help me out of dis one.. she wouldnt help me. I bully her too much, mabey I should ask cousen Cheeky..she will help me.

I cant beleive my mummy wants to eat me, dis is horrible! mabey, if i hide behind a big fat tree she might not notice me.

Wait. I should calm down. My mummy wouldnt really eat me would she?
But I swear she dose, dee other day i sawed her talking to aunty Amy and she was looking at me and talking real quietly so I couldnt hear what she was saying and I swaer she was up to something baad.

you guys have to help me! I cant die now im to sweet and Im just about to reach my peak I will be dee best horsie ever and my mummy will never know because I will be roasted and served with other uman food and eated and oh no!!

Why cant she take Grotty first? I never really liked her. wait! dats it, mummy is trying to get rid of me so she can ave Grotty because she really loves Grotty and not me! :( dats baad.

well I need to think of an escape plan.. I need to get outta here!!

well If I never write on here again you will know why.. and incase she dose eat me I will miss you all and I will mabey start a blog in dee paddock in dee sky one day.

lots of hugs ooxxoo Minky-T

Nice six month holiday

OK well, I have been gone for AGES!!!
there are many reasons why I havent posted in ages and heres a list of them all.

1. I am a lazy shit.
2. It was winter anyway and there was really nothing interesting to write about.
3.I have been baneshed from the computer because dad said i was being a nusence
4. I am a lazy shit.
5. my dad has been nagging on about how im not applying myself at school and I should concertrate on my work.

To be honest none of those excuses are good enough as to why I abandoned this blog for 6 months (exept mabey number 5) but I am truely sorry and I will try and make an effort to post more often.


So what was going on in the last six months you ask? well not much at all to be honest mostly being top dog in V.E.T and perfecting Minky's dressage and such and possibly being a bit of a rat bag at schoolbut other than that its been nothing but rain, rain, crap, rain, bad Minky, good Minky , rain ,rain GET OUT OF GROTTY'S FEED NOW!!, rain ,rain and more freaking rain.

I am officialy half way through V.E.T and its been nothing but sky high percentages in my results however, my school report came back as an opposite so now I have to try extreamly hard if I am to get into university.

Minky has been pure gold the last six months and is now officialy a grade 3 in everything exept x-country but we are pretty much there.

And of course we have had a couple of bad Minky moments but nothing too bad just a couple of falls rears and bucks but she is trying very hard not to be a bad girl, and that's the main thing.

well I have to go and feed her or she will be cranky at me so once again sorry for abandoning the blog and I will be sure to post again soon :)

Im being followed....

I went to see my Minky on Saturday, and I gave her a cuddle and then I went over to Grotty and gave her a cuddle and then I gave Toohey one as well because I'm nice like that, anyhow, I went to go home and Minky followed me to the gate which was cute but then she wouldn't move! so I gave her a smack so I could get out and when I finally did, Minky was stood at the gate neighing for me to come back (I think it was that, it was either that or she was like "oi wheres my food you tard!")so I ignored her and then she came flat stick gallop down the hill neighing and bucking and all sorts!

It was really weird Ive never had that much love in my life! I still think it was about not getting food.

Well what do you know...

So I guess yesterday's x-country didn't go as bad as I expected it to, because I was jumping grade 4 jumps in which I thought I would never do on x-country because Minky was always bunny hopping over the grade fives, Minky did have a stack and a couple of refusals but over all I am happy... see look smiley face ----> :)

One of those days...

I have pony club tomorrow and guess what they have in store for me...jumping, jumping and just a little more jumping! and I know what Minky has in store for me as well refusal, refusal and maybe I might get one jump out of it if I'm lucky, but I'm pretty sure it will be just me going over the jump and not Minky.

I am going to have to work on my position and jumping techniques right away or I'm in for 6 hours or nothing but constructive criticism and "oh well its probably your fault for not riding Minky enough" and that is downright true, so I am going to have to get Minky over some jumps and work from there.

besides I do enjoy learning my mistakes and getting advise from my teachers, that's how I become a better rider, its just when I go to pony club after practicing what the teachers told me, I only get the same information as the month before, so therefore I must not have done whatever it is properly.

I will start from scratch and go over ground poles and slowly build up my confidence....again!

I have also realised that, after I fell off and hurt myself that time when I did my jumping competition I must of had a confidence knock that has effected both Minky and I, because I haven't had the guts to do my four tyre jump ever since, and Minky will be lucky to jump anything full stop.

well I guess its back to the arena with me, and lots of advice will be needed to get me back on track whether I like it or not.

Just plain cool.

Minky has lost a ton of weight yesterday after I rode her 10 kilometers over to my friend Monique's house! how cool is that.

I also had a ride on maverick as well and all was going well until he decided to go all bucking broncho on me! he must of gotten bitten by a march fly or something because he was being a right turd.

I had my V.E.T course today which was fun... take a wild guess at what one of my gradings is on, I have to walk, trot and canter around an arena and I get graded on it! how awesome!

So Minky will have to get prepared for that because she keeps doing her weird retarded bunny hops on the jumps (the V.E.T people also going to look at that)

R.I.P Willow

I have some really bad news for everyone, my cat Willow has just been found on the side of the road dead!

I have had the worst day in history before hand only to come home to find my poor little Willow has passed to the other side.

I haven't had willow that long, but whilst she was here, she made everyone really happy and I was so proud to call myself her owner.

So with that, lets all say good bye to our good pal, Willow.

Day from hell.

Ok horsie frienz, I have got some bad news for you all, well actually it might not affect you at all but thousands of Australians will be in grief once this day is done I can assure you.

The past few days have been record temperatures peaking 110 degrees and above, and some screwed up retards have decided to torch the main areas of my home state and the sweet little garden state of Victoria is literally in flames!!!

The death toll has reached over 60 people and over 700 homes have been destroyed
including 5 entire families, 10 people in their cars and many more that where unable to escape the wrath of these unstoppable fires.

My father is on call right now, as a member of the Bunninyong fire brigade and he is trying his hardest to help stop the blaze.

I am right royally pissed off at these inferno bugs because little do they realise, but they have murdered nearly 100 people! I reckon that they should have gone up in flames too :(

In further news, I go my tooth fixed! when I was in grade 5, I ran into a pole and snapped half of my front tooth snapped off.

Six years later I got a cap...yay! I will place picture updates on the blog soon.

whilst your waiting, why don't you go on to dads blog and find a picture of me with my chip so you have something to compare the new photo to.

First day back.

Grrrr :( Stoopid school, well Stoopid timetable more like it, i am one of the only year 10's that has free study classes because of my vet subject however, I haven't been introduced to my vet subject yet so I have 5 classes this week where I have bugger all to do! how rare is that!!! well I guess I will have to read my twilight saga again yay!!!!!!!!

Because of the heat, I have decided to ditch pony club this week but the problem is, that it wasn't actually hot that day and by the time I figured that out, I didn't have time to organise so I just had another day to myself.

Minky doesn't like the heat, poor girl! I might give her a bath tomorrow, she will like that.

Anyway, I haven't been up to much so I guess I have nothing else to post unless, you want to hear about me and my twilight obsessed friends (and trust me you don't want to hear about that, because its doing my head in just thinking about it)

Oh joy...back to school for me :(

I was minding my own business(reading one of the books from the twilight saga of course) when all of a sudden it hit me like a truck...I have to go back to school on Monday!!!! not cool, not cool, not cool I have to get my books ready :( I have to dig my school bag out from my bedroom closet! one day, one of the Shetlands from next door went into my closet to see if the legends of the killer Shetlands where true, and he never returned :$ well that's what dad told me... I hope I will be able to get out of my closet before pony club... on that thought, maybe I should just take my books in case I get stuck.

Anyhow, I have to get my school things ready by Sunday so that I can enjoy the last of my holidays before school starts, in which will be barely enjoyable because its literally over a hundred degrees out here!


well I'm going to read my book, if I don't post within a week, its because I have died on the couch due to the heat or I have gotten stuck in my closet with the killer Shetland and the killer school bag, but don't worry too much I will just feed the killer Shetland a rotten apple from the killer school bag, and then maybe he might leave me alone.

Yet again,

Omg I am sorry, I just ignored you all again :$ not cool, but this time I have a good excuse, really I do.
So it all started out when I opened my presents on my birthday, (You wouldn't believe what I got) I got the Twilight soundtrack, a couple of console games and... the Twilight book set!!!!! omg omg omg!!! :)

So for the past few days, I have done nothing but read and read and read some more and its still not enough :( I'm only half way through the second one having received the books only less than 72 hours ago :( lol

Aside from that, I really have been a lazy blob enjoying my holidays making silly meaningless projects like finding as many words as I can that don't have vowels in them whilst finding out what those words mean, I also lunged Minky yesterday, well I attempted to anyway, at least before she started being naughty and dad had to come out and make her be good (much to my embarrassment in less than 2 minutes)

Well I guess I'm off to read again, That book had given me every emotion possible whilst reading it, I actually started crying yesterday at a very crucial stage in the second book, if any of you have gotten to that stage yet, then you will know what I was crying about, but if you haven't read the books yet, then I suggest that you do because there really good.

Anyhow, I am going to go and read and I will probably start crying again but its all good, you will get used to my book reviews being like that, I really am one of the biggest sooks in the whole wide world.

And If you don't hear from me in more that a week at a time, I'm probably just being lazy, so please do me a favour and grumble at dad to grumble at me to do my blog, if that made sense at all.

My not quite birthday party, party.

I tried something new this weekend, I rode through the dam!
unfortunately Minky was being naughty so my ride on her was cut short and I had to put her away, but on the bright side I got to ride through the dam on my friends horse Mav.

The thing with Mav is before this weekend, Mav wouldn't go ten meters near a puddle even if there where a truck full of carrots waiting on the other side for him, so that was a big effort for our friend Maverick.

The first five minutes or so, the horses where getting all antsy, and wouldn't do anything right, and then Minky went in, and she was being really good until grotty had to go and neigh out at Minky, and then Minky wouldn't do anything if her life depended on it!

so after a while I just made sure that Minky would at least walk forward a few steps for me, and then I got off and had a shot at riding Mav.




Minky swimming in the dam before she starts playing up, and Mav on the side there, with his owner Monique.

Mav's profile has been added to the side bar if you wish to take a look.

Bring out the bubble wrap and elbow pads.

Yes, yes its all true I am now able to enjoy my acrobatic dismounts with the company of my new jumping vest!

I have had some great dismounts during the year of 2008, but no longer shall I fear those dreaded pony club nurses anymore, all I have to fear now is the social battering I am going to receive when I am the only one that comes cantering up to my group looking like a pink obsessed five year old.

There I was on Christmas morning, unwrapping my presents, and as I got to the last one, I was almost struck with disappointment thinking that I wasn't going to get my jumping vest, until I unwrapped it to find myself struck with embarrassment!

As much as I was forever grateful for all my gifts, I knew that I had a long and hard year ahead, and it was going to be full of laughter and teasing.

My lovely new jumping vest was double thickness, protection guaranteed and don't forget the lovely PINK and PURPLE coloured finish!

My pony club colours are navy blue and light blue except for the odd saddle rug or a kid wearing a different coloured sweater, but no one is going to loose me, they will be like "oh wheres Katie gone to?" and then another person will be like "oh you mean that one over there in the pink and purple jumping vest?"
"yeah, that one"

The main thing is this however, I am really grateful for everything I have received, and my jumping vest will keep me free from all harm physically, but mentally I think I am screwed. for life.

other than that, my riding lesson on Monday was great! I had Minky on the bit again this time on trot, and believe it or not, but my teacher Karen had Minky doing what I thought was the beginning of some really nice half passes! so Minky gets a bunch of carrots again, and I am one extremely happy rider.

The festive season has delayed me once again...

Well actually, no I don't have an excuse for not posting for a week, but one day I went to the cinema to watch Twilight and I got totally obsessed and with that, I went on a complete obsessive rampage demanding to go and see it again, changed my my space to a Twilight theme and now if you speak one word to me, I will change it around completely so that it has some thing to to with Edward Cullen (main character) or the movie Twilight.

Twilight was originally a book trilogy about Isabella Swan (another main character) falling in love with Edward Cullen, nothing wrong with that except for the fact that Edward has a secret... he is a vampire!

In order to protect his identity and his thirst for Bella's blood, Edward tries to avoid contact with Bella, but because Edward is so caught up in trying to get away from her, he gets caught under her spell and falls in love with her (aw)

Edward, being a vampire and all, realises that he is a danger to Bella and once more, tries to avoid her but when Bella finds her self in grave danger, it is up to Edward to save her...

I think that I have given away alot of the first story, so I will leave it up to you guys to find out the rest of the story, if you haven't done so already.

Here are some movie pics to keep you occupied until I go on my rampage when the 2ND story comes out :)


this is Edward Cullen (the main character)



Meet the Cullens Emmett, Rosali, Alice, Jasper and of corse Edward :)



Edward and bella hanging about.



"and so, the lion fell in love with the lamb" -edward cullen to bella (aww)



Edward looking at Bella like she is something to eat (scary :$)

Again, sorry for the massive delay in posting, I hope everyone had a safe, and happy new year and I hope every one had a fun holiday.
