Last week USHJA announced the dates for inaugural Adult Hunter Finals. Big shout out to former blogger L.Williams for being on the committee that got this done!! I shared a post on FB about how qualifying and competing at finals is now a bucket list item, and it got me thinking of my long neglected bucket list I have on the blog. So, let's update my bucket list; updates in bold.
 |
| gratuitous pony pic to break up the wall of text |
- Show 3'6", hunters or jumpers
- Nope, I'd be happy to get to 3' now. No need to go any higher
- Qualify and compete in a medal finals
- Qualified and competed in the 2013 LOH Hunter Medal Finals, placed 6th.
- Qualified and competed in the 2024 OHJA Foundation Medal Finals, placed 6th.
- Show at Thermal and/or TBird, and if I win the lottery, Spruce Meadows and WEF
- If I can't show at Spruce or WEF I'll take watching there
- Traveled to Spruce Meadows in September 2022
- Ride in a Hunter Derby
- Have done a few 2' derbies at schooling shows 2023-204. Updating this to have my trainer show Cinder in a National Derby, and if I have the nerve do one myself.
- Jump the open water
- No thank you
- Clinic with as many top riders/trainers as I can
- Watched the George Morris clinic at Whip N'Spur Dec 2015, 2016, 2017
- Audited an Anne Kursinski clinic Dec 2022
- Breed and raise/train a baby
- I didn't breed her, but obviously have raised and trained Cinder
- International horse shopping trip! My cousin's husband's sister has her own barn in Belgium and starts and shows babies. She's told me anytime I want to go ride with her or go shopping to just let her know.
- Still want to go horse shopping in Europe.
- Have my own one ton pick up w/ living quarters trailer.
- Meh, I'm kinda on the fence about this. I do like my current two horse and LQ trailers are pretty damn big and expensive. I'm also at the age where I really like sleeping in hotels for horse shows as opposed to staying in the trailer.
- Win a cooler
- Done 2023. Won the MDTE 2'Hunter Series Champion
- Show at Adult Hunter Finals
- Would also check off showing at Thermal on the bucket list
