I love New Years.

Each New Year with Buck, my faithful Border Collie at my side, I turn the last page of my old diary and smell the fresh new one that I buy myself each year.

I almost cannot hardly wait to write stuff in it and set goals and achieve them!! Love it.

I noticed that a lot of people are doing a favourite equine photograph of 2017; so here is mine.  🙂

We didn’t come close to winning this day, but right here, in this moment, I felt truly happy, proud and at peace.

We started 2017 in Preparatory Dressage struggling to get 55% and we ended 2017 with a personal best of 65% in Preliminary and a 61% in Novice.

We tried Show Jumping and Working Equitation.

Moo and I spent copious amounts of time together, travelled to places we both had never been and I learned so much about this little hippo and about myself.

Whatever happens in 2018, with Moo and Buck by my side it will be awesome.

Happy Riding & Keep Smiling

Happy New Year to all
