1. Stay present while riding at shows. Can't cross this off as we only went to one and one third shows, and the goal was aimed at riding every movement of a dressage test.
2. Focus on year-end awards. Obviously not. We didn't make it to a single dressage show thanks to Fungus Leg.
3. Ride a Third level test. See above, although by the end of the summer I feel like we could have confidently attempted this.
4. Attend at least one horse trial. I saved pennies, did bitch work, renewed my USEA membership, and we completed the dressage only to have the cross country cancelled due to flooding and opting to stay home for the stadium since the footing was just as bad.
5. Stay quiet on approach to the jump. Nailed this one. I learned to just sit quiet, let the canter do the work, and let the jump come to me. I'm so thankful I got this out of the way as it's made me so much more quiet and confident as I start teaching Opie about jumping.
Lamest, most boring post ever I know. Had to do it for posterity. Now to think up some achievable goals for The Snoot!
