I think I'll hammer out a solid event goal eventually, but I guess I don't have enough of a grasp on Izzy's and my abilities yet to set something solid.SprinklerBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948487857418394022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-36287008023010502882011-08-11T11:13:33.851-06:002011-08-11T11:13:33.851-06:00I was surprised to see no jumping goals either.

Is it just not available in your area?<br /><br />I think you have inspired me to go write down my own!Amyhttp://slowandsteadysmilerwinstherace.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-71434133804751566142011-08-11T01:45:59.479-06:002011-08-11T01:45:59.479-06:00They sound like great goals.

There is no point in having a horse if you don't enjoy the experience. <br /><br />3 feet is a nice height to aspire to in your jumping, and 4th level is well within your grasp. And if you do 4th level, then Prix St. George is no big deal, so you can say you've ridden FEI too! <br /><br />Sounds like some perfectly reasonable goals to me. And from talking to my endurance friends, that would be another nice challenge. Lots or work to get your horse fit, but fitness is always a plus.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-39822951009178534732011-08-10T13:24:26.682-06:002011-08-10T13:24:26.682-06:00Heh -- I had no idea that would spark any kind of ...Heh -- I had no idea that would spark any kind of though or introspection! Should I apologize? But yes, the long format three-day is my goal. It's several, maybe many, years out, but I want to get there! Fitness, practice, exposure, qualifying rides ... yeah. All that stuff. :)<br /><br />And you could definitely be competitive at 3' around here, for sure! I too find it funny that there are no eventing goals, but then again, Izzy is one of those very multipurpose horses. Go for it!!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717721719853988310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-71956876295892444212011-08-10T12:46:19.041-06:002011-08-10T12:46:19.041-06:00Heh heh, for Solo?
