It's good to see an improvement! My biggest goal right now is to go to my first dressage show (I'm entered in one on the 27th). We'll see how it goes from there!
And most of that progress has been made without the benefit of a trainer - right?!

You should be happy with your (very organized) goal list comparison, and most importantly with your super horse. Rogo is special :)

I like how you organize your goals like that. Don't forget oever all progess, and your satisfaction. Your happiness and love for your horse can not be measured by a number :)
