Motivation and Goals

Well, I haven't posted much...at all? lately because not a whole lot has been going on. The frozen ground, and early sunset have made it impossible to do anything other than walk if I want to ride. So the boys are on vacation. Jodi got a neck cover/hood to hopefully keep him even warmer. He's dropping weight, and I don't want him to lose anymore - I added some senior feed and a weight gain supplement, and he gets lots of good hay, so hopefully he won't lose anymore.

Since I haven't been and can't ride, it's hard to think about goals for 2010. Hopefully I'm getting a truck and trailer in the next couple of months, which would be awesome. I'd definitely get to go more places then.

So far my only goals really are to improve as a rider, and keep working on giving Luke the ride he deserves. I'd also like to never ride an intro test again, and at least make it to the 2' mini trial level this year. BN would be nice, but I don't know if it'll all come together quick enough...we'll see I guess. I also want to do a lot of hunter paces with him...I love those.

Don't know how much I'll post over the winter, but I'll try to keep updating when things happen...if they do. I'm looking very forward to starting lessons back up in the spring!!

Merry Christmas!!! :)
