July Goals

Hmm, so Blogger seems to have eaten my post about July goals... Ok then.

Us in 2010. 

I realized while talking to Alli last Friday that I really miss having goals. While it's hard given the hony's soundness and my perpetual fear that he's going to come up lame, I wanted to make a few (small) goals for July.

Without further ado:

Digby's July Goals
- Stay sound. Enough said.
- Work on building up our fitness. Since he had all winter off (thanks -4 degree weather and ice/snow) and then some time in the spring until he gained weight and thennnn our June lameness issue, the hony has been pretty much out of consistent work. I'd like to start back with lots of walking and then slowly progress. I'm going to play it by ear based off of how he's responding.
- Get out on trails at least once. Ok, this seems like a ridiculously small goal but hear me out. We just moved to a new barn which is a big transition and I'd like to get some solid ring work down. Trails were never my favorite event (although I'm becoming a fan) and Digby can be a big jerk on them. The new barn has lots of surrounding acres and trails so I'd love to get out of the ring as often as possible. With my schedule, I'm not sure how often I'll be able to meet up with others and I don't want to go alone for a while. I'm planning to go at least once in the entire month of July!

Human goals
- Fitness. This should read, "Becky, stop being a fluffy marshmallow and learn to control your body. Love, your horse." I've got a schedule all printed out and I've mostly been sticking to it in June! I'd like to keep it going in July.

What are your horse or non-horse related goals?
