Horse Goals or Bust!

I love New Year’s and all that it represents—ushering out the old, ringing in the new. I’m not much of a partier on New Year's Eve, but I AM at a stage of life where each year is precious to me, and making the most of my life takes on greater significance. I’ve always been serious about planning my time and making new years resolutions, and this year I’m bringing you on this journey with me! Next month, we’re starting a nine month roadmap to help you achieve, accomplish, and soar in your horsemanship. We call it Horse Goals or Bust! I’ll help you set meaningful horsemanship goals, how to assess both you and your horse to come up with realistic training and conditioning plans, guide you through planning and logistics, and help you stay on track and meet your goals by next fall. In this episode of my podcast, I want to talk to you about dreaming big, scheming hard, and imagining your best horse life. We'll talk about reflecting on the year behind us, how to envision an amazing future, and crafting meaningful goals that will fuel your plan of action. Plus, in What the Hay, Q&A, I’ll answer questions from listeners about a green rider on a green horse, a bolting Mustang, and a Standardbred who is over-sensitive to touch.   Show Notes: Download Julie's Horse Goals or Bust Goal Setting Sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XiIke6guNi0nx6YsK4TUM6e61rfuCGjPS6q1qyjhvII/edit?usp=sharing Join the #HorseGoalsOrBust Facebook Group: https://facebook.com/groups/horse-goals-or-bust     Julie's Dec 2022 Blog Post: https://signin.juliegoodnight.com/articles/free-articles/julies-blog/check-your-rearview The book Julie mentioned from her friend, Jeanne Griffiths: Equine Science Julie's 5#Challenge Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goodnight-challenge What the Hay?
