I hope her year isn't as a two year old - seems a bit early to peak to me! When's she going to win Badminton for goodness' sake?!
Um, for Deco to have a healthy foal and be supple and fit enough to come back in to work in the winter to go BSJAing aagain. For William to carry on improving, and cut out this habit of his of finishing 11th! Aim him for Le Lion 6 yos. Liberty - would like to be able to hang on to him until the Spring to see if he can event, hopefully he will.

Moon- get her straight out at PN and test her potential in eventing, if all goes well I hope to move her up to novice in the summer and sell her for lots and lots of money......
That could go wrong though- if she's useless she will have to switch careers and if she's brilliant she will have to stay with me!
Boss- find something he and I both enjoy doing together and build up new goals in whatever that may be. I doubt it will be eventing but never say never....

My aim is to do Towerlands JAS on Spider and hopefully do well.
To improve her canter, it is getting there but still needs sooo much work!
And to qualify her for the Pavo 5yr old finals at Tweseldown. I would like that more then anything!!
And whatever else I have to event to hopefully do well!!

To have two happy, sound horses. Get Winston out over the winter and jumping Disco - getting him over his water tray phobia!
Take Snoopy out BN/Disc and xc schooling.
Then aim to take them both out eventing in the spring - If winstons SJ improves he will go to Gatcombe Novice and Snoopy can go straight in at PN however, that all depends on xc schooling I guess.
Would like to do some dressage on both of them also.
However, Im with dolores and finding a nice rich man is on teh top of the list, without him, I cant afford to do the above

Haha, no I think he means showing wise! She was immature this summer. Who is Deco in foal to? Wow are you really aiming William at Le Lion?

Get full set of DCs at BN and Disco, maybe have a go at the regionals (but the fences appear to be stupidly huge)
Be fighting fit and ready to event in March - do a few PNs and then have a think about Novice
Dressage - not to do anything horrible, not to eliminate me anywhere and not to have another BE score in the 50s!!!!
Merry (Racehorse)
Build confidence unaff SJ and XC.
Event Intro by May / June and PN by end of the year.
India
Have a healthy happy foal in May and find her a really nice riding club / dressage home once it is weaned.

To take my mare out BSJA and go to Trailblazers finals again, hopefully qualify for the dressage the 85 or 95cm again. But just want to keep her sound, she has been so far!

Get my girl back to fitness before missing too much of the first half of the eventing season and get round our first BE Nov.
Forget about BSJA and concentrate on the dressage instead - can't afford two lots of membership fees!
Get a better job and pass my PTT.
Think the last bit might prove to be wishful thinking.

Hope to do a few mediums BD with dressage pony by the end of next year, and see if she'll event again, probably just intros, PN if she feels happy
7 year old will do an intro, then go PN and possibly a few novices by the end of the year, providing shes happy! And she should also do some BD and carry on BSJAing.
Will hopefully have an advanced eventer to ride as well, so long as he pulls through from his injury, he'll do intros and then go on again providing he stays sound.
Also hope we find a nice baby to buy, and that goes to plan.
And hope Molly and her foal are ok.
Not much then! x

I need to write an essay on this one:
1. Take Charlie to do le trec
2. Will to qualify for PC Novice Challenge Champs on Cocoa - dressage
PC event Cocoa & Shadow see how they get on, get more involved with BYRDS with him
3. Do B&W, Aldon & Belmont in March, qualify for Intro & or PN regional finals then get Sienna in Foal in April.
If she isn't in foal then do RFs & qualify for champs, also do RC champs & some county level showing.
Get stage 4, (can't believe I wrote that)
Get baby to bring on next year, event & sell for lots of money!!

Opinions are like bum holes, everyone has one.
1) Improve our canter
2) Get our water jump phobia 100% conquered
3) Become consistent (we are either really bad or good)
4) If all goes really well I want to qualify for 1* if he does not take to eventing and I feel he will never get beyond PN then he will be sold and I will be on the hunt for another!

Nope ! They can just refer to them later on to bash you with / justify not giving you a decent pay rise

Deco's in foal to Mill Law, due end of May. She's currently the only one doing anything towards her keep, I've been giving some kids dressage lessons on her. She loves it - they weigh about 5 stone! Will have to put a stop to it soon though.
Yes, I have that as a loose aim with William. Have booked a lesson on the two boys in December with Anna Ross-Davies (she's the one doing the dressage series in H&H at the moment, when she's here she's just down the road), so that's step one of the master plan. He coped fine with Novice, and has a very grown up head so I don't think it's totally unrealistic. Trouble is I'm not a name anymore (not that I ever was really, but even less so recently!), which makes it a lot harder to get selected. We'll just have to win eveything!
