Well, horse shopping has officially begun in earnest and since it feels like the start of something new, let’s take a look at the goals I set for 2016!

The Horse:

1. Find the perfect situation for Foster.   Blessings abound. May 1 I handed Foster over to a lovely woman who I know will take good care of him and allow me to visit Fosterpants!
2. Keep riding, even if catch riding
3. Participate in at least one dressage clinic

The House:

1. Paint upstairs – hallway, study, State room
2. Wrap up giant handyman to-do list covering all sorts of small sins
3. Declutter in the extreme….
4. In order to put the house on the market!   Done, done, and done! House sold and house on a hill 2.0 purchased!

The Rest:

1. Health
   • Eat less red meat The husband is surprisingly keeping me on track with this one!
   • Make a dedicated effort to consider myself an athlete as a rider and take responsibility for staying in decent shape
2. Concentrate on photography and expanding my range of work
   • Complete 10-15 sessions this spring – my fingers are itching for that shutter button!
   • First newborn session!
3. Stay positive and keep calamities in perspective
4. Focus on savings Saved enough pennies to be able to afford a new pony- I call that goal accomplished!
