I know October may seem a little in advance to be planning the 2020 season but as a. I compete BD and our season (this year) starts in December, b. I have my wrist in a splint so I'm bored and frustrated by lack of progress and c. it's a blooming miserable day, I thought it would be a good time to start planning.
I thought it may be useful to start a thread with all of our training/competing aims for the next year and it would give us the opportunity to support each other and monitor how we are doing ourselves... you know, that theory if you tell someone what you are planning to do, you are more likely to actually do it!
Feel free to add your aims however small or large!
I'll start off...
After a pretty appalling season this year, for numerous reasons, I'm planning to get Chester out to anything and everything I can to help him relax.
That means regular lessons away from home, clinics, camps, judge training, demo riding.... anything I can think of.
I'm also going to up the amount we are out competing and try riding 3 tests as he is definitely fit enough and this will hopefully help with the tension.
We have stepped back down at the end of this season but I want to get out competing well at Novice and I'd really like to do some Elementary with him. We just need to improve his CC and there should be no reason for us not to do this really.
Another reason I'd like to be doing some Elem is because I really want to have a crack at Music.
I'm aiming for a min. 3 camps this year to try and get him used to stay aways and relax a bit more.
