Another quarter done, I can't believe we are halfway through 2022! This quarter was so great in so many ways, I got my saddle, TC did really well, I did well in my new job, and I spent a ton of time with my niece. But it was also (SO) busy and stressful at times too.

 |
| Ranch competition! |

 |
| It was so much fun! |
 |
| Such a good pony |
Jumping
- feel confident over 2'3-2'6 courses with fill
Yep!
- be consistently landing on the correct lead over fences
Well, not really, but that's okay
- be successful at the horse show! I'll define what success means later
Yes!!
- continue working on my foot light/jumping position in general
Definitely getting better
- continue working on balance without rigidity
This is still challenging but I'm working on it, my last lesson especially made me feel way better in this department
 |
| Such a talented fish! |
 |
| It was such a fun show |
My Riding
- fix my right hip
It got better and then got worse again, but I am working on using my back brace less because I think that contributes to the dysfunction
- fix my left hand (lol or just make progress with it)
It's a little better, I worked on it for a while and then stopped, oh well
- continue working on my breathing
I have been doing pretty well with this!
- continue to build my core strength
Yeah I need to really focus on that this quarter
 |
| This guy has been doing pretty well lately! |
Msc
- continue with copilot (or another gym solution)
I kind of fell off the wagon with that, traveling a lot made that tough, but hopefully this quarter!
- fix my right hip
Again I was doing so well with my PT exercises until I went on like, back to back vacations
- get an injury looked at, back or wrist (my job has a fabulous PT I might work with)
Yep! My wrist got looked at
- have fun in Kentucky!!
I did!!
- ... don't spend too much money in Kentucky
I didn't! I came in shockingly under budget
- feel more settled at work
Absolutely, I am almost 5 months in and am already conducting trainings for new hires, my manager says I am fully onboarded and performing above my level (unfortunately I am not eligible for a promotion any time soon, but it's good to know).
 |
| Kentucky was so amazing!! |
