Once you've got the knowledge to do what needs to be done, confidence comes easy.<br /><br />Good luck with your goals. They are very reachable. Izzy is a fine mare and you're doing a great job with her. Like Jean said, you'll be surprised how easy dressage gets once you've mastered the basics. I've always believed that second and third level were designed by the Devil!A Work In Progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076863943914879567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-40166622231528637552010-01-28T15:19:50.699-07:002010-01-28T15:19:50.699-07:00Great set of goals and quite reachable with your d...Great set of goals and quite reachable with your determination. <br /><br />The big issue is, unfortunately, the finances. Competing can be so expensive these days. If you can manage that, the rest will just fall into place.<br /><br />And WELL DONE on the spook ride! It always is a great feeling to sit out something like that and realize you were just fine. And then, to get Izzy focused and working again for you is even better. Neither one of you held on to the fear, and that is fantastic! <br /><br />And after the bronze, there is always silver! *VBWG* (Actually, once you master third level, the next levels come much more easily.) Go for it!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-39958575977150543922010-01-28T14:22:08.063-07:002010-01-28T14:22:08.063-07:00Why does it always seem easier to stick to a progr...Why does it always seem easier to stick to a program getting the horses in shape than ourselves? <br /><br />Writing down your goals and especially blogging about them, makes it a bit tougher to let them slip by you. Sorta makes it seem like you have others watching and expecting something as well as your online cheerleading squad. <br /><br />Good luck to you both in all aspects of the horseworld you aspire to conquer!Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603347619547454296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-15684131451661698562010-01-28T13:45:38.007-07:002010-01-28T13:45:38.007-07:00What impressive goals.

I've been sticking to a strict workout schedule for 3 weeks now and ALREADY see and most importantly, feel a change. But, my hip started hurting again today (injured it right around the New Year), so I am hoping it doesn't throw me off track, yet again.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558668876103778821noreply@blogger.com
