    Day 1 ~ SfS 12 Days of Christmas Equestrian Challenge

    SfS 12 Days of Christmas Equestrian Challenge Day 1

    How was 2016 for you and your horse?  What did the year represent?

    In order to move into 2017 and begin building on and progressing with your riding it makes good sense to first close off the current year.  Therefore regardless of what 2016 was for  you and your horse, look back over it with gratitude.  It got you to where you are now…

    Today, for Day 1 of the SfS 12 Days of Christmas Equestrian Challenge, I want you to find or capture a photograph that best represents 2016 and all that it was for you and your horse.

    Was it a year of competitions, or perhaps a year of laying a solid foundation?  Maybe this was the year you and your horse got to know each other better, or it might have been a year of rest…

    Along with the photograph, I want you to sum the whole year up in 1 word… This might sound difficult, however being able to sum things up, helps close things off – so 1 word it is :)

    Once you have your photograph and your word, share them with us below in the comments or online.  If you are posting them online, copy and paste one or all of the hashtags below so others can follow you and your progress throughout the 12 days.

    12 Days of Christmas for Equestrians

    Have you ever thought about the person who really encouraged or influenced you on your journey into the world of horses?

    Have you ever considered where you would, or wouldn’t, be if it was not for them and the time, money or interest they invested in you and nurturing your love of horses?

    As riders and ‘equestrians’ many of us tend to believe we are masters of our own destiny.  Maybe it is due to the whole ‘freedom’ feeling many of us are chasing when we ride.  Perhaps it is because we see ourselves as a little more daring than the average person.  Gallivanting around the countryside on the back of an animal who weighs more than a small car and pointing it at hedges and fences designed to contain livestock – all in the name of entertainment – can perhaps do that to a person!

    However, the fact remains that your love of all things horses, whether you enjoy hurtling towards fences while travelling at breakneck speeds or you rather enjoy a simple groom in the stable, was probably sparked, nurtured and cultivated by someone.

    Imagine how that person would feel if they were to receive a hand written letter of gratitude from you…

    Imagine how you would feel if, twenty years from now, you received a similar letter from someone whom you invested some of your time, money or attention in…

    This December I want as many equestrians as possible to join me in a little Christmas Challenge of sorts.  The Strides for Success 12 Days of Christmas Equestrian Challenge is all about giving back, paying it forward, gratitude and just getting together to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to those who have or are making an impact on our lives. 

    Interested?  Visit www.StridesforSuccess.com/Christmas and join us today.  Let’s see just how big an impact we can have on the horsey world this Christmas :)

    Happy Riding & Happy Christmas
