I'm looking through to...He's up to 40 now!<br /><br />I'm looking through to see what I need to/don't need to do from that list.<br />The bareback one is interesting to me - when I was too small to reach to get my saddle on my horse, and too impatient to wait for my mom I started riding bareback. My first jump? Over a bucket someone had left in the middle of the wash when I was galloping bareback in deep sand!<br />I haven't done an endurance ride - I think the most I've done in one day is 15 miles.<br />I definitely haven't taken my horse for a sleigh ride, but have gone on some.<br />I have raised a foal. I'm thinking about breeding one... I have a specific mare picked out as a possible purchase to do so based upon her bloodlines (see challenge #1!) and the quality of her previous babies. I haven't broken a baby yet, but was the ground person for a second ride and worked with a filly after 60 days very basic training.<br />I love that Denny put in the college comment - we went to the same school. :)<br />I need more work on longlines. It's been many years, and I never learned all I needed to know.<br />While I haven't scribed yet, I'm trying to get my GMO to put on clinics so I can learn how. Incidentally, I'm hoping to ride a test in front of General Burton in January...<br />I've definitely never ridden all night. But have trail ridden in a safe-ish area in the moonlight...<br />I've never taught a horse to jump into water.<br />No haying for me. Not with my allergy-induced asthma and hay as my second worst allergy after cats!<br />The rest I've done. Not too bad!Nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817230186352688525noreply@blogger.com
