Self-discipline


I keep setting these goals, that I never seem to achieve.
Actually, just the one goal.
Initally I was aiming to get Neeko schooled up to improve his head carriage, so I could do some low key tests in the winter dressage series.
But before I knew it, the series has been and gone.

So now, I set the goal again.
My first show of the upcoming season is early July, on which I would like to have Neeko working in a stunning form.
So that leaves me with around a month.
In this time, I also have to do a bit of polishing on Hobo, for the same show.

I get really slack, and instead of knuckling down and doing it, I get into the mindset of "I can just work on it next time"
But I never do.
Sigh. I wish I had more self-discipline.

Today was a perfect example of how I chose to ignore the fast approaching date-of-doom.
Instead of schooling Neeko, which would be sensible, I chose to just muck around on him and ride him bareback and bridleless.
Which, by the way, he was very good.
Because of all of the rain lately, there were a few big puddles around, so we had fun playing around in them. I also popped him over a few low jumps.
I videoed most of it, with the intention of making it into a movie, but unfortunatly the footage was really average. Hmf.
So as soon as I can drag someone down to video me, I will have a new video.
(:

I gave Georgie the biggest groom everrrr today.
The little monster was covered in mud. His little feathers and tail were all knotted together by clumps of dried mud.
He was so fidgety though, which made my job alot harder.

Today my mother rang me and asked me to come around and move all of the rest of my things out, as well as get all of my mail re-directed.
Hmf.
They are getting a student in, In my room.
I guess its my old room now though, but it still sucks to think that someone will be living in my room.
That was where I spent a majority of my time, and where I felt most comfortable in that house.
Oh well. Time to move on I guess.
