I thought I’d write this down so that I had it clearly in my head. This way I can track my progress with my real goals and not get side-tracked with perceived goals in competitions and the like.
- To ride him bareback on a trail ride/over jumps/where ever
- To have a ‘broke’ horse that trusts me, no matter how scared he is
- To have him soft and forward going – engaged in the work
- To enjoy our riding together!
Yes, I want to train and compete in dressage to the highest level we can make it to – but I want that as an aside; something that happens on the way. It’s not the sole purpose, or even the focus of our riding together.
See ya.

I just posted about goals! And here you did too. I'm contemplating what my 'goals' are with my horse. I think my goals would be identical to yours...maybe minus the bareback part. Too chicken to try bareback at least this year!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll be riding bareback this year either!!! It's a work in progress.. : P
