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!

Day Thirty: Your future with horses PHEW! I almost made it! I missed posting this yesterday by completely spacing out. This past week at school has been utterly insane. But here it is!

Someday I plan to own another Morgan, someday I hope to own a Connemara pony, and I am sure I will own another Standardbred! I plan to continue to compete in the future as well. I love dressage and would LOVE to earn my USDF bronze medal someday. That means I have to earn scores at First and Second...that might be hard. My immediate plan is to try First Level this year with Dreamy and see how we do! We are expecting a big 8-14" snow storm here in Maine tomorrow. So much for this 30 Day Ch
