Hunterland!

Back in March we did a hunter show, came 2nd in our "match-the-clock" jumper class and then 4th/5th in hunter U/S, equitation, handy hunter, and hunter O/F (in no particular order).

Here are some of the pictures from our adventures.

Friends!

The plus side of small shows- it looks like you're awesome with many ribbons!

Goals 2016

I had my first lesson of 2016 yesterday. I've learned that Athena is a little sassy and only likes doing things her way.  I suspect this is partly due to her 10 year hiatus where she was used as a broodmare and didn't have to really work.  So the goals...

- Better flat work, including more consistently getting her right lead and bending to the right

- Improve my seat with no-stirrups work

- Stretch more, both me and Athena

- Shows. I'm not sure which yet but there will be some

- Fox hunting

- Possibly cross country schooling

I love how much improvement we've had since switching barns 3 months ago.  It makes me so excited to be progressing and seeing change in Athena.

Also, car troubles suck.

Happy New Year!
