Mine was really, really simple. I wanted 2012 to be the year in which I really started enjoying riding again. The end of 2011 was when the fear/panic attacks started going away, but I hadn't yet gotten back to the "Yippee! That was FUN!" stage of riding yet.
I know it might not seem like much to a lot of people (I think you have to have experienced this type of panic/fear to completely understand), but to be somewhere with my horse and PREFER to be IN the saddle vs out. Or to be sitting in the midst of a clinic watching other people's horses misbehave and NOT feel stressed/worried (because, one upon a time, I would have worried that THAT horse's craziness would prompt my horse to act crazy) is just wonderful.
I'm still not there 100% and might never be...I'll never ride the way I did as a 16 yr old.
Expecting to have that back is probably a bit unreasonable.
My goals for 2013:
Flying lead changes with Holly
Some jumping with Holly (SHE loves it...me, not so much...so that's where I have to challenge MY insecurities again)
Start putting in more time with Sebastian. Tentative goal is to have him as my "primary" riding horse by the end of 2013. That might not happen because he's young and not nearly as "seasoned" as Holly is now, but we've got to start somewhere.
