[CaleruxShearer]

As for the last 2 years (!!) I would love to do some Novice double clears, an intermediate or two and a CCI* . Was put on hold last year due to horse beng kicked and fracturing his knee and then put on hold again this year due to me being pretty ill and hospitalised over May and the summer. Fingers crossed for next year!

Schooling wise at home I would like to: continue to improve his hind leg on the flat, really getting him stepping through. Hopefully this in turn will improve his mediums.

Continue to establish the lateral work. Mainly the shoulder in that needs work.

Work on changes over fences and getting them really straight and true. At the moment we tend to land on the correct leg in front but change late behind which causes him to panic and run a bit.

 

[Santa_Claus]

win a proper BE point!

 

[Javabb94]

I would like to get my 4 yr old (5 in April) to do atleast BE90 by end of season and jump BN possibly aiming for our 4 double clears although not many shows round our way!

For J to do some more working hunter and at our yard unaff showjumping where we were virtually unbeaten at 90cm and always placed in 1m Abbie will do this too as good practice

I also hope for Abbie to get some decent % at prelim - have prelim 7 on jan 13th!

 

[MillbrookSong]

Few horses so a few different goals!!

Bee (P2Per) - To try and have plenty of runs between me and Katherine, lots of best turned outs and try our best to get in the winners enclosure!

Beamish (ex racer) - Do some more RoR classes and do better in the proper ones and do some BE RoR classes and maybe some dressage!

Miranda (Project to sell) - Sell her and if not get her eventing at BE90/100 by the end of the season!

Buster (ex P2Per) - Just to have him sound would be better than all of the above put together!!

Good luck everyone!

 

[wellsat]

Get Genio out and competitive at BD Prelim

 

[Squiggles on Paper]

Be doing Discovery every time out and attempt a Newcomers Maybe get a new horse as have been on the look out

 

[star]

get out eventing and not get soaked!

Assuming we manage that I'd like to get my BE100 double clears and do the Trizone challenge at Blenheim. I'd also like to qualify for some regional finals and really really really want to get to Badminton. I know this horse is good enough - just need some luck on our side.

As an aside we'd like to get in the top10 at the Area Festivals at Novice.

Debut at elem level and qualify for areas

Do a spotty showing competition.
Would love to do our first xc jumps but only have a dressage saddle at present so will have to see.

Dancer (will be 20 next year)
Establish simple changes and have a proper crack at BD elem level and try and get her first points

[JenJ]

Get over 70% at Prelim

Get close to 70% at Novice, and be placed above some of the 'comp' riders at my yard

Only problem with the last two is that they require...umm...jumping...

 

[nikkimariet]

Would love to do our first xc jumps but only have a dressage saddle at present so will have to see.

I have this issue as well Currently paying off new dressage saddle but if I can afford it I'll get him a synthetic jump saddle

 

[alwaysbroke]

To get Mini out and about with the dun pony, prelims and a bit of jumping towards the end of the season.

Get daughters out and about their choice of what they do.

D_K and the boys out eventing, barring injuries and ground conditions allowing, just see how it goes.

If there is any money left/time allowing do some dressage and unaff eventing with my boy,

but basically just enjoy time with my family and our horses.

 

[nikkimariet]

Haha!!!

 

[nikkimariet]

Cry proudly when NMT wins at ROR!

Top 3 and I'll be happy

 

[SpottedCat]

My major aim for 2013 is to not fall off *too* often!

 

[Lolo]

I have a shiny new camera which is a lot cleverer than I am, so my goal is to learn to use it properly and take many decent photos of my sister on her crew. Very excited- Team Reggie will be having the best year ever next year, I have decided. Having 3 ex-racers can only ever mean there are good things to be coming

 

[Bustalot]

My goals for this year :

Pass the trailer test 1st time so I can get pony out more than once a month! As I currently have been.

Basically improve all our flat work and to be riding a decent novice test by the end of the year

Main aim is to get jumping! We started abit this year but I have a lot to learn and our yard facilities are not really set up for jumping. So with the trailer test done hoping to get out to some clinics and small shows. Also XC schooling and hope to ride a ODE before the end of the year. Don't think I will aim for BE just yet! Lol. But that is still our long term goal.

Biggist goal is just to have fun doing it all

 

[only_me]

Aim is to get the canter established, improve the show jumping and maybe aim for an end of year test at medium.

Oh, I suppose to sort my life out and get a paying job would be nice too!

 

[madhector]

Aim to qualify fitz for the summers and elem and medium. And have a go at a few 6yr old classes.

Plan to have chunks ready to do a psg by the end if the year. Not worrying about qualifying him for stuff though as will mainly be training....

 

[Vodkagirly]

Get the horse in the trailer on the way home in less than an hour!
He is 20 so never going to set the world alight but I just want enjoy it the clinics and playing.

Lots of lessons, hacks and fun!
