Before I continue, let me make it clear that Crystal is the most amazing woman alive. She knew nothing about me, and still trusted me with her horse, who happens to be doing first level dressage. I know for a fact that most dressage people won’t let anyone within ten feet of their horses. The fact that he’s a Percheron Haflinger may have a little to do with it though. Not only can I ride him whenever I want, I am allowed to do whatever I like with him.
So, back to my goals for the 2013 season:
·
I would really like to start taking lessons at
least twice a month. I know it’s going to end up more like once a month because
I’m broke and a full-time student, but it’s a good plan
·
I will always ride with a purpose. Whether I’m
training, conditioning, or just hacking out, there will always be a goal in
mind
·
I will build up my own fitness so that I can
keep up with Smokey. Believe it or not, he’s got a lot of get up and go, once
you get him motivated, of course.
·
I will participate in my first event this
summer. I am aiming for the Old Chatham Horse Trials, which I believe is in
July.
I think those are pretty sufficient starter-ups for the year. Now that I have at least one post, hopefully I will be more inclined to keep writing. I did half a semester at SUNY Purchase studying Creative Writing for crying out loud! I think half a page or so every couple of days can be done.
Oh, and just so the millions of people who will read this know who my amazing little horse is, here are a couple pictures. He’s quite fluffy now that it’s about 15 degrees out on a good day.
