Looking Forward to 2009

While the USDF 2009 Region 8 Competition Calendar is not yet showing all of the upcoming competitions, I can already feel show dates looming. March. April. May. The first competitions may be only 2 months away. Hard to imagine while New Hampshire's winter is well underway with no signs of spring on the horizon.

Piper is looking like a woolly bear right now. Jeddien is also quite fuzzy. And yet, both are have been lightly under saddle all winter. However, that light work schedule will be changing in the next couple of weeks.

And this year, two youngsters will start their ridden work with an eye towards competition in 2010.

So, tonight, while we batten down for another storm, I am already daydreaming about 2009 and what goals to set for the Kearsarge Meadows dressage horses.
