What are your new years resolutions? Or does anyone even bother to make them anymore, since it seems that most are forgotten about come Groundhog's Day! I challenge everyone to make a list of things they'd like to accomplish in the coming year involving horses. (I figure narrowing down the category will make it a little easier!) Here are some things I'd like to do:
1. Go camping again at Assateague in the fall.
(For those who aren't familiar, Assateague Island in Maryland allows camping with your horse on the ocean side of the beach from around September to April every year. It's great fun to gallop on the beach!)
2. Compete in at least one Horse Trial this year.
3. Do a hunter pace with friends. I'll throw in here - go foxhunting at least once this year.
4. Get Teddy (my young Tennessee Walker) started under saddle this summer.
