Quarter 2 Goals

I set my goals this year with the possibility of moving in the back of my mind.  Quite honestly the only thing I care about this year is that he doesn't have an EPM relapse from the travel.  I am still formulating a plan on that front, but my vet feels confident that we will be able to minimize the risk.

Just to review my goals for the year are as follows

2017 Year Goals

Stinker

• Solid WTC (still working on this)
• Travel new places (I haven't gotten him hauled as much as I wanted, but the last time he was quite well behaved despite all of our misadventures)
• Schooling shows (I have done as many as I can, but it isn't as many as I was hoping for)
• Happy and healthy (Despite his typical mishaps we have been doing well)

Human

• Improve my position (Changing my stirrups helped a lot, but I still need to keep my leg under me more)
• Get my stress shopping under control (Realizing that you are moving to a place where housing costs 3x as much caused me to replace it with stress eating)
• Improve my fitness (Ummmm unless you count lifting french fries to my mouth as fitness not so much)

Quarter 1 Goals

Stinker

• Keep up the steady progress (He has been pretty steady.  I have not, but sometimes you have to adult)
• Focus on the trot (This has been very hit and miss because I bounce back and forth between yes we need to trot and no he needs more strength)
• Keep doing ground poles (This has happened about once a week)
• Keep working on breaking up the tension (This has also happened and he is slowly becoming more rideable)

Human

I apparently thought that I needed to essentially repeat my year goals, which based on my progress I was not incorrect.  Whoops!  Here is to next quarter

Quarter 2 Goals

Stinker

• Maintain as much as possible despite having a nutty human
• Keep him happy and healthy

Human

• Sanity (I have to be out of my house next month and don't move for another two months after that)

That is about all we can handle this quarter.  Hopefully, there will be big news on the moving front in the next couple of months.
