So from here on in, I want to keep a proper log of where we are, where we have been, and of course where we are going! I have had many people who have helped me along the way, and they know who they are. Thank you!
Last year, I made huge steps to go out and about with Jack to clinics. This was a very emotional and difficult thing for me, as Jack reverted back to a scared horse which was very unexpected. But with lots of support we worked our way through it and we challenged ourselves and both came out stronger the other end.
These steps were just really the foundation. This year we are much further ahead and ready to really push ourselves this year. I would like to go all the way and look at becoming an instructor and help others who didn't know where to turn like me. Not to mention to help all those horses get a different training foundation so that they can be more happy and confident. So this year is really exciting. So much to do so much to learn.
In January I attended James Roberts Foundation Station in Wiltshire, which was totally inspiring. I came back armed with information and things to do to get my better best. I then went along to a Level 1/2 clinic with Terri (someone who I really look up to), and I was thinking at that point how much more involved I wanted to be. I learned so much more from soaking and spectating but realised that I wanted to be hands on and helping! Then one day, a friend said to me that 'I should never say never', when talking about following my dreams. So I figured, she is so right! Had a chat with my long suffering and very lovely husband, and he has agreed that I should go for it. I can only try, and it will be a challenge as Jack is not the easiest horse to try and achieve this with, but I wouldn't do it without him.....I wouldn't be here thinking this without him!
