I took out the things I had like working on my self confidence and learning to live in the moment because those are things I will probably be working on my whole life and it's impossible to show proof/share with you on the blog lol.  I want to try and learn new things so I tried to focus on things like that.  :D

And here are my goals for 2013!

1. Work on my 30 Before 30 list.
2. Finish building my new house and sell my old one.
3. Teach Jackal a new Canine Freestyle routine.
4. Continue to learn, practice and improve my photography skills.
5.  Go fishing with my dad and my husband lots and lots!!!!  ;)

I did terrible on last year's goals and didn't complete a single one so we won't even go into that lol!!  What are your goals, plans or resolutions for the new year?

  1. Goof luck with your goals! I too would like to learn archery :) My partner even gave me a birthday present few years ago that he would pay my lessons but I haven't have enough time for it yet :(

  2. I think your list sounds doable. Good luck with it. For me I would guess just continuing to ride and learn from my horses. Although, I'd like to learn to be a better photographer too.

  3. I might be able to help you with #7 Ride/drive a horsedrawn carriage/wagon/sleigh.

    If you are in the Phoenix area and would be ok with a 2 wheel cart vs. a 4 wheel carriage/wagon, I would be glad to have you climb on and ride with me and willing to hand over the reins if you were comfortable enough with it.

  4. Aww Cut-N-Jump you are so sweet! Unfortunately I live on the opposite side of the States, but if I'm ever in the area I'll definitely let you know. :D Thank you!!

  5. I set up that blog to sort of log my training with my pony for driving. He has been easy so I can admit being spoiled with him and I tend to forget- not all of them are.

    You might look into ADS, the American Driving Society. There is a lot of driving on the Eastern side of the states. Surely there has to be a trainer close by. Lessons are a good way to start, just like riding. Get a feel for it and see how much you like it. It is expensive, addicting and a wicked amount of FUN! Totally worth it!

  6. Actually I might have a lead on a trainer to teach me how to drive, but it won't be until summer... I'll let you know more then. :D
