As another year draws to its end, it feels appropriate to reflect back on 2012 as a means to make 2013 even better. I feel most appreciative of the daily interactions with my friends who have played an intergral role in my journey as a horseman, whether they realize it or not! Watching their personal journeys has inspired me to better myself, reminded me to always trust my horses and put the relationship first, and to keep open lines of communication, even when it calls for stepping way outside my comfort zone. I credit these friends to my most significant savvy developments of 2012. Thank you to my horses, my instructors, Stacey, Missy, and Morgan, for all that you do for me. I cannot imagine where I would be without your support.
