New Year's Resolutions 2011

I can't believe that my last post was a year ago. Last year didn't go as planned. My mother, who was living with us, began to need all of my attention, especially after she broke her hip in September. The great news is that she has recovered well and is happily living in her own assisted living apartment. I visit her often, but now have time to get back to playing with my horses.

I am commited to reviving my resolutions from last year and making progress with my Parelli Natural Horsemanship. In just two days, I have organized all of my Parelli materials and have cleared the pony paths of fallen trees and sticks to make driving easier. Next, I plan to order Dandy a bit that a friend suggested that might be more comfortable for him. Then on these cold, winter days, I plan to do some Parelli reading, video watching, and website exploration. When the sun shines, my time will be well spent trying out what I learn and building my relationships with Dandy and Fire. Now that the grass is brown, I think they will look forward to some fun!
