2014 Goals \ 2013 Review

I love reading peoples monthly goals etc. I like seeing how other people prep and try and accomplish their goals. At the beginning of the year I did a 2012 review, well things have changed a ton since then....

We started off the year at a novice CT in May, which was actually a very sketchy dressage test and a horrible show jumping round. This included me not releasing over the jumps here!  Ending the year with getting a big fat E on our record because I'm an idiot and forgot a jump on stadium.
 On the good side we did get to go to PA and experience the working student life and hopefully will be able to go back.

2014 Goals
Horse Goals
Super Kid-  Goal for 2013 was to place in the top ten at a show.
We got close at 11th so I'll be happy with that for now. 
Goals for 2014!!!
Jump constantly novice
When we start jumping regularly and taking lessons again jump at novice\max novice and low training
(maybe higher.) At our last lesson we where definitely getting at novice height. I know we hit some low training stuff before we left when we where in PA training.
Dressage score in mid to low 30's if possible get a 20
We did realllyyy bad this year score wise. At home and in lessons we freaking rocked it out and I could not have been happier. At the Team challenge we sucked. It was freezing, raining and plain miserable during my dressage ride. Super Kid trotted for twenty minutes beforehand per trainer instructions. We where fine until we had to stop and wait for the rider in front of us to get out, we then proceeded to have a mental block and had a VERY tense test. 
MORE CROSS COUNTRY SCHOOLS
I have never actually cross country schooled with pony. We have had clinics where part of it was xc. Hopefully this year we can do some of these either at the Hoosier Horse Park or Bea Hive

Rhyme!
My goals for him are simple. Get out, go to some shows\lessons\ or whatever. We didn't have a vary good lesson. Mostly it involved Rhyme acting like an idiot, screaming his head off and getting his tongue over the bit. (Which he has never done nor done since) Of course start jumping. I am a strong believer in the whole don't jump until they are 5. I personally also think you should wait until they are mature enough, mentally and physically ready.  I started jumping him over low stuff but he just got overwhelmed about it.

Irmi
Goal is to sell her!!

Personal goals



  1. lose about 20lbs--- I was really close but then school started. Lets not talk about that :p
