Goals for 2012 - get back in the show ring (had been 9 years for me, current horse had never been shown) - done. By the end of the season even the judges were suggesting we move up Embarassed.
2013 - Move up to First level competitively, and in schooling would like to have Second in sight by the end of the year. I am NOT repeating a season at First, will stay home and school in 2014 if not ready for Second. Which means I need to be reliably and comfortably sitting his trot this winter, not just sitting when he's going really well, for short periods of time.
