Horsey New Year's Resolutions
- Thread starter squidsin
- Start date
So how are we all doing? 4 months to go!
My goals were:
Get the girls riding Oscar confidently - Huge tick, hurrah.
Do an ODE on Cally: I've done 3!!
Get Xav going nicely: we have done that too and he was far enough along to be sold on.
So my new goals till the end of the year...
Get Oscar sound again. (Pretty please)
Compete Cally over an 80cm course
Get Dylan moving forward freely and enter him in a x-pole class.

I don't think the cob has made any.
I would like to find a fallen tree or something similar to jump over. She would be up for that.
Possibly do a horse camp, or just go away somewhere with her on our own or with company. She would be up for that to, she was really good on her first one.
Jump the filler I bought on her not just lunge. She would be up for that as well
Managed one of them in March.
I've sort of achieved mine! Won a combined training class, am consistently showjumping at 80cms, and have competed in XC. But haven't done as many competitions as I planned as have been busy with work and kids and things. Goals for the end of the year are to do another couple of ODEs, a sponsored ride (and do all the jumps) and teach my kids to ride!
I have just looked at my list and I have ticked some off
Good thing riding every day in SUMMER was not on the list. With it being so so hot .
I have continued to eat pretty well
I DROVE TO GODDARD PARK AND IT WAS NOT THAT BAD.
I have not gotten to Myles Standish yet They have a turkey trot im the fall
I wont get to the Pomfret Hunter pace but I did the APPLE KNOLL ONE
The Marshfield Fair Versatility its this weekend I wont get to that but have done several others
We have not gotten back to Nanonet Forest but we did ride the very long very narrow bridges at
Borderland.
I wont get Andi to a versatility yet
I think this is the best of all gotten over to ride at what will be the NEW PROPERTY
I have had fun with my horses and goats and have the 3 new little cuties
Overall I am not dissapointed in my list

Well I am still pootling thankfully. It's been a slow process because of moving, time for us both to settle etc but now we are aiming to plod about in our make shift arena most evenings.
Gosh I would love to ride her, she looks lovely!
Seriously I can't even see myself riding at all in the near future. Lack of time and money is going to hold me back. I love ale I just never thought I would be in this situation so soon. I'd love to get a horse on loan but I pay about £400 a month for ale doubling that takes away nearly all my earnings :O
I'm in SW London and the yard is in Surrey. So yes a very expensive area. I pay £200 for DIY. Everything is more expensive here even vets!!
Well if ever you find yourself in my neck of the woods you would be more than welcome to ride her Ale
Just adding to this. It's also interesting to see how some people's horses have changed.
This achievement wasn't on my list as I hadn't really thought about it.
Today mine went up front to lead the ride briefly. Got a nice steady trot including the usual weave, a gate, weave, birds flying, weave, another gate-exactly as she does solo!
It was her idea to go on and usually I am particular about her having ideas about the pace, but she was showing confidence so I allowed it. Next time at that spot I will ask before she trots on.

So much has changed this year but it makes me so happy to realise I have achieved these things!!!
Ale is now at a safe and suitable yard where I can manage how he is kept and he seems really happy!
And I'm hacking on my share as much as I can and gaining confidence to canter and ride in groups.
I am back plodding. We are very low key I am happy with pootling about the field. I still feel very lucky to have that after her on and off lameness. I love hearing about other folks riding too tho. Well done to everyone who gets out and about
