So this may be a month or 2 early but I've been looking back over the past year and thought i's share my highs and lows and see how everyone else's years have been
be prepared for lots of pics!
Jan - I saw 2013 in with a broken pony on field rest
Here's the special one aka Freddie in the snow

Feb - I did this :/

and the day after I picked up this... Arnie a 4yr old warmblood by Arkan

March consisted of hacking, schooling and a forest trip! Also our first XC - FULL PERMISSION TO POST THIS IMAGE ON A FORUM

April saw our DR debut - sorry no pics but here's one of Freddie still on field rest

May we competed in our first ODE. May also saw the return of the special one!
and his final scan
where it was evident there was nothing more we could do 

June consisted of more DR, SJ and ODE's and lots of placings! FULL PERMISSION TO POST THIS ON THE FORUM!

July had more placings and competitions with Arnie but July also sadly marked the loss of Freddie so here's some pics of him <3


August consisted of more competitions and clinics with the Arniebear
and a qualification for the unaffiliated DR championships!!!!
Sept saw me passing my CAT C driving test... freedom with the bear finally!!! Sept also saw Milton Keynes 3DE which I had been aiming at since I brought Arnie back in Feb... excited doesn't even cover it... unfortunately nothing ever goes to plan does it?!
One of the team - where Arnie scored his best ever DR of 33.5!!

I then decided to check this out for him! FULL PERMISSION TO POST ON A FORUM

Unfortunately it ended abruptly and a week later we had this

Where he was found to have a small tear to his SDFT - gutted doesn't even cover it
October has so far consisted of this

followed by a bit of this

we have done a bit of work!!

Nov and Dec will consist of the same as Oct so nothing too exciting will need to be added I'm just crossing everything for his next scan! Sadly I'm seeing 2013 out as I saw it in... with a broken pony!
so in a nutshell that is my 2013 its had its highs
and its lows
it will be interesting to see what 2014 brings!
So come on share your 2013, the more pics the better!!!
