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!

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.
