Winter Goals

To keep myself motivated to ride in the bitter cold New England winters, I have decided to make a list of things I would like to do or achieve. So far, the list consists of:

  1. Work him at least 3x a week even if its just walking around the street
  2. Work on his new smiling trick and master it 
  3. Have him bow while I ride him
  4. Bareback and Bridle-less riding at least 3 times
  5. Stand on him as he walks around
  6. Modified skijourning at least twice
More to some as I think of them...any ideas on tricks I could teach him? It's important to keep his mind as well as him body moving in the winter!
