And I've been thinking about why it is this way.  Why do most riders make the same 'resolutions' year in and year out?  Rather than growing, building, and developing so that they get to create something different each year they are together?   How about this year, you try something different for you and your horse?  Something that you can feel a sense of accomplishment about? Commit to 'Doing It'... Now, I get that 'doing it' is fairly vague!  It's one of those phrases that can mean anything to anyone.
