Reflecting on 2011: A Year of Firsts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read­ers are invited to check out Kristin’s blog for updates. Most recently, Kristin reflects on the ups and downs of 2011, with all of the “firsts” that made it such a mem­o­rable year as well as all of the things that she has to look for­ward to in 2012.

Over the last few months I have had a bit of time to reflect on the past year for KSE. While we had a slow start to the year, we ended up hav­ing a whirl­wind of a finish!

Hav­ing both Joey and Rox side­lined early on in the spring sea­son left me feel­ing a bit defeated because we had some really fun goals we were work­ing hard for. Rox was going to move up to advanced and I hoped to qual­ify for a 3-star; Joey was aimed at Bad­minton, a life­long dream. Well, that didn’t hap­pen! But (here comes the first of my ‘firsts’). it was the first time that I entered and was ACCEPTED at Bad­minton! I think that’s pretty spe­cial chap­ter in my book!

Well, those boys came back with a vengeance and I gained some per­spec­tive on my career. I had felt, for lack of a bet­ter word, down about not get­ting to Bad­minton, so I needed to snap out of that funk and get going on some new plans! I thought, well hey, let’s aim Rox at the Pan Amer­i­can Games! So off to Rebecca Farm on a plane to do another 2-star we went!” Read more on Kristin’s blog.

KS Eventing Welcomes HAYGAIN

Haygain SteamersWe started using the Hay­gain Hay Steamer for all of my com­pe­ti­tion horses at the begin­ning of this year and I couldn’t be hap­pier with the results. This is the truly the health­i­est way to feed hay, which is the most impor­tant part of a horse’s diet. Not only does the Hay­gain Hay Steamer rid our hay of poten­tial mold or fun­gus, it con­verts it into a whole­some for­age that my horses really enjoy! Even my picky eaters (the ones that never used to fin­ish their hay) are now fin­ish­ing every last scrap!

KS Eventing Welcomes Mushroom Matrix

Mushroom MatrixAfter adding Mush­room Matrix to the daily reg­i­men of my top event horses, I noticed a sig­nif­i­cant improve­ment in their phys­i­cal and men­tal well-being. From a com­pe­ti­tion stand­point, my three upper-lever even­ters have a greater focus and a calmer dis­po­si­tion after start­ing on the ECP Matrix. This has trans­lated into a greater will­ing­ness to per­form to the level they are being asked. Con­tinue read­ing
