2015, let's be havin' ya!

So, all I can say about this year is wow.
I started it with no pony, and thinks looked a bit sad for me equine wise but I had some awesome friends and a wonderful bunch of ponies around me who really did help me through and I ended up actually riding a lot more than I thought I would and turned out that I actually hadn't forgot what rising trot was despite the fear that I may have!

This year has a hell of a lot to live up to after 2014 which had its moments but so does every year and well I do think 2015 can easily top 2014 with the amount of things I have set for John and I but at the same time 2014 has been a pretty cracking year all in all, I mean I found out that this whole time I have had the world's two best friends a girl could ever ask for alongside me for more years than I thought! I also realised that as one door closes, it opens a fantastic new one and although saying goodbye to someone is never easy, it gets better. Little Ronald stepped into my life and what a romance we have. I can honestly say I adore that little pony to the moon and back.
And of course on top of all of that, I found the absolute pony of a lifetime which has proved to me that sometimes the best things come out of the most ridiculous decisions.

*WARNING GAY ALERT PLEASE LOOK AWAY IF YOU HAVE A NERVOUS DISPOSITION NOW*
Before I go on to say about my goals for next year, I just want to say a bloody big thank you to Emma and Beff because despite how annoying I can be they've stuck by me, found me Little John, supported me through the toughest of times and continue to give the kick up the backside I need every now and again. I don't think you guys honestly realise how grateful I am to have you in my life, you pair truly are pretty awesome and me and John want to say a massive big thank you for everything you've done and continue to do for us, because without you, well I probably wouldn't be the same person I am today. I honestly do love you guys and your awesome bunch of ponies and here's to the many more years to come!

Anyway, back to normality, I didn't make any goals last year because as far as I was concerned I wasn't getting another pony for another 2 years or so and then when John came along I just didn't think about it at all.

So this year, my goals are:

  • Get John to jump a fence, correctly, no matter what height this may be.
  • See Ron at a place.
  • Get John's loading somewhat there.
  • Have John in a consistent outline in at least one pace.
  • Canter Sunny.
  • Have a jumping lesson and build some confidence back up.
  • Ride John bareback at at least a trot.
  • Get John's confidence up hacking on his own.
  • Sort out John's behaviour bathing.
  • Go hunting at least once.

So Happy New Year kiddos, and here's to it being a good one!
