And weather. I mean, I haven't ridden Batt yet this year! I mean, I could have but I haven't. There is no reason why I haven't hauled him out for a trail ride (other than the whole truck with a broken gas tank thing for a while). I definitely am up for a Fair Hill trail ride!

I don't think you come across as too focused because the name of like, all the games is adjusting and you're having to do that plenty haha.<br /><br />Right now I'm a mix of keeping things in perspective and also breaking down goals to basically things I can accomplish day-by-day. Not exactly fun, but better than setting myself up for failure!<br /><br />Also it looks so fun sunny and warm-ish there!

Hopefully your ground dries soon, and even more hope that you can find a reasonable solution to keeping your horses in a convenient location. Also I hope to see you at some twilights too - lmk your plans! I'm signed up to volunteer at some but would also be happy to come hang out at the others too!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-11039482012042693332018-04-02T05:40:34.127-07:002018-04-02T05:40:34.127-07:00Ooooh that's awesome that you were there!

I am going to Memphis next weekend and the following weekend Mark moves but let's think about toward the end of April. Also CC schooling is starting up soon at FH too!! YAY.<br /><br />Great layout of plans with some caveats throughout. You guys got this! (And I LOVE the sidesaddle photos!! WOW I would be on the grass at a trot let alone galloping)! HA!

Though admittedly my stomach clenched with nerves just imagining riding with my balance all askew from what I consider the norm! Still, so cool!<br /><br />Goals. Well, it would be damned awesome if we could move past mud season. It's hard to do much of anything right now with the ground in the condition it's in. <br /><br />Honestly, my biggest goal for the year would be to find property to get the horses closer to home, but that is a very, very tricky thing that depends on so much. <br /><br />Competition-wise? Stuff. Things. Loose plans. Hopefully twilight events with Grif through the summer. Maybe a cow sorting. And lots of trail conditioning with Q and Stan.Liz Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267806576736655184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-10804358655502859922018-04-02T03:08:50.405-07:002018-04-02T03:08:50.405-07:00Aahhh, I was at Shawan Downs, too!
