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! Dreamy will be 29 this year, and while she definitely shows signs of her age at times, she overall looks and acts much younger than she really is!

As she will be eight this year, I feel like we have moved through the baby phase. having this photo shoot was definitely a highlight of 2019! Continue lessons with Beth and Babette This goal was met and then some! I took almost weekly dressage lessons with Beth and monthly jump lessons with Babette. Thanks to the
Thanks to Amanda for starting a fun little bloghop! Favorite Show Picture This is from our first dressage show ever , in May at our lesson barn. It is a crappy screenshot from a video, but I love how Ellie looks like a proper little dressage pony! Sadly, there were no photographers at any of the shows we did this year, so I was unable to purchase professional photos. Favorite Non-Show Picture This is such a sweet photo of my three year old son and Ellie. She is so kind and this photo exemplifies her personality. Favorite Thing You Bought I don't know if I have a favorite thing, but for this blog post it would be my pretty blue AA Platinum MotionLite show coat . The coat is such a great color and just different enough to stand out in a good way. Also, it is so super comfortable and breathable, it is the best show coat I have ever worn. I splurged and bought the hunter green as well. Favorite Moment on Horseback This would probably be our XC clinic
