Lessons
From left, Nila [Mares and Me], Optimus [Lesson Notes], Bubba [SSF repost].
A lesson with Nila at the beginning of the year and one with Bubba at the end. The rest where with the awesome Optimus. 2023 was not my zippiest year. A kind beginner horse was about all I could handle. Hoping to be in a better head space in 2024.
Note. My phone camera has a weird setting for portraits that – as far as I tell – exists for the sole purpose of making everything blurry. Would rip it off of my phone if I could. I did not notice the phone camera was in this mode until I got home after. Hence the ears photo from my lesson with Bubba this year did not turn out. Used photo from the time before that, which was December of 2022. [Rubber Ducky, process notes]
Shows
One driving class with Roy, the rest with Optimus/Transformer. Mostly casual shows, therefore limited media.

Counting classes, because I can’t resist a list.
Barn fun show, two classes, no driving.
Summer #1, missed, was in Montreal.
SUmmer #2, did not show.
Summer #3, two ride, one drive.
Summer #4, two ride, one drive.
Al Charity, three ride, one drive.
Winter #1, four ride, one drive.
So that makes five shows (four casual, one fancy) & seventeen classes (thirteen ride, four drive).
ASBs rock!
Update. Transformer to cart. [A Last Look Back at 2023, Driving]
Onwards!
