It is currently 29 minutes away from the new year...so I figure I'll do a quick post to say just recap some stuff and such...I'm not going to bother making this all sappy. Lets just cut to the chase.
Best Events of 2009:
1. Junior Division Overall High Point at county fair...true, our county fair has some pretty sad competition (no offense people....just saying, we all aren't the very best :P) but it was still an accomplishment; second year of fair that I did, first year that I rode Daisy every day for everything (english and western, games and gymkhana) and we got high point. Together, we made it there.
2. The right lead canter and side passing over poles; that was our goal for the year, and we met it head on; Daisy's great at both now, and that's really what made the difference at fair.
3. Hunterpace...*much* different then I thought it would be, but very very fun none the less; great experience, and I hope to do it again.
4. Cross Country Schooling. Currently one of the best days of my life. Enough said.
Goals for 2010:
1. Skills: Turn on the hindquarter and forehand, hopefully flying lead changes.
2. Events: Eventing. More schoolings, lessons, boarding, jumping, 3 phase eventing...that will be *quite* an experience. But I'm up for it, and I'm pretty sure Daisy is, too.
3. Personally improve in the english riding department :P and work with Daisy to improve dressage.
4. Do incredibly at county fair, SENIOR level this year...but we'll see. :P
5. Excel at everything *despite* (because certain people think it's a bad thing) being barefoot. Advance my barefoot knowledge and be able to show others the benefits.
Well...that's about all I wanted to say. December 31, 2010, I will look back on this and see what I can check off. :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR! (Currently 22 minutes away now)
