This summer, with Indy, I want to...
Lunge him: twice a week
Ride him: 5 days a week
I want to work on...
- Jumping
- Riding in the "scary" arena, especially loping. I want to be able to lope without him making for the opening in the fence.
- Going down the road alone. Not the dirt road, the actual road.
- Loping in the pasture. Any pasture.
As for myself...
- I need to use the reins less than I do and depend more on my weight and my legs.
- I need to maintain confidence even after a nasty spook.
- I need to not be afraid to lope somewhere new for the first time.
Exciting things coming up...
- Therapy riding is going to start up soon, and I want to volunteer more there.
- The therapy horses need more exercise. I want to ask their owner if I can take care of that - at least some of it.
- This is the best one. My friend Kaylee, owner of the wonderful horse Honee, has invited me to go camping with them this summer! With Indy! We have the Coggins Test scheduled and I am so excited I grin every time I think about it. We might even get to take the horses to the beach.

P.S. Did I mention that my friend Whisper - the famed girl of our JoinUp session last fall - got a horse? Her name is Marquessa and I can't wait to meet her. :) She's a dark bay Arabian mare. Maybe I'll post a picture if I get permission.
Love,
Ellyn

Those are great goals, Ellyn! I should get mine written down and put together, too.
Going camping with horses sounds fun. You'll have to keep us updated!

I hope we get to see pictures of you two jumping! And from camping, of course!
