I had many great horsey experiences in 2019! I am really pleased with how the year went overall; nothing is ever perfect, but both horses are sound, happy, and healthy, which is really what matters to me. Some of my 2019 goals were met easily or with lots of hard work, and a few of them were utter fails haha. C'est la vie! Let's recap! Happy, health, sound Both mares are doing well in this regard!

On Sunday, October 24, we competed at the Hilltop Horse Trials in Somersworth, NH. It was our last show of the 2010 year! I was quite happy to have a good event and end the year in style!!!

I hate showing alone because I never get any pics! :) Yay Dreamy! :) It was a good day...we competed in the senior division of Elementary, which is also called Modified Beginner Novice. Basically it is the same as Beginner Novice, but the jumps are lower. It was cold and damp, with one slight rain shower after dressage, but thankfully there was no wind.

I dressed for success in my full Carhartt suit, complete with all my polar fleece accoutrement. :) Dreamy relaxed in the trailer with her hay net and her polar fleece sheet between our phases...wi
