For me, New Years resolutions seem almost cliché. Healthy eating and fitness goals flood the radio and television shows, and while I dislike thinking that I have to wait until the new year to embark on a new adventure or set my sights on a new goal, I do like the idea of a fresh start.
The barn is no exception. After all, I spend a substantial part of time with my four-legged partners in crime. I see no reason why 2015 can’t blow 2014 out of the water.
Here are my top 7 horsey resolutions for 2015 … I really wanted to make 10 different resolutions, but I don’t want to add 3 just to hit a nice, round number. If I’m going to set goals, I fully plan to achieve them. No bad ride, scary jump or bad weather can stand in my way.
Now it’s your turn. What are your horsey New Year’s resolutions? Tell us in the comments below.
