I'll apologize for not posting much in December and celebrating the new year a week into January, but horses... they keep us so busy! I'm also getting a little lazy about photographing projects and then I don't end up posting them because blogging is no fun without pictures.
I've mostly stopped making new year's resolutions because I've realized that I am terrible at keeping them. However, I have mad a couple realistic horsey resolutions that I'll share.
- I will ride more. If I cannot/do not want to ride, I will at least go see my horse, groom him, and do some groundwork.
- I will be in the top 3 in a showmanship class with the paint.
- I will continue to work with Desi on loading.
- I will post more to this blog!!!
I almost put "I will stop getting bucked off the paint" but I don't want to jinx that :) The paint is taking a little time off of riding and having some bodywork done to address some minor back issues, having teeth floated, saddle re-fit, etc. He's a pretty cool horse, just misunderstood. I think once we get any health-related issues out of the way and establish that I'm in charge, we'll do pretty well together.
Also, Desi is moving to a new barn in a little over a week so I have been and will continue to be super busy. Thankfully there are a couple trail strings that connect the two barns but it is still going to be a 6 hour trail ride (oh the joys of having a horse that doesn't load). Wish me luck with that one, moving is always fun!
