December is human health month (hopefully). Time to get to the chiropractor, doctor, orthodontist, dentist, and any other health appointments that I have been putting off because I was "too busy riding horses."
December is also "work as much as I can" month. Working on Christmas is usually double time and 1/2, boxing day is time and 1/2, and New years day is time and 1/2. I want to work those days :)
I am aiming for one piece of writing per week. I have started this week's personal story and it is coming along nicely (I think).
Quote of the day:
"The most important thing is rhythm; you can jump anything with rhythm. Don't worry about 'seeing a stride' let the rhythm take you to the fence until your eye kicks in. Keep the impulsion, the rhythm, and horses head up, keep the shoulders forward, the heels down, keep still, soften the rein on take off."
