HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! The year of the horse is officially over (sorry ponies) and now we are entering the year of the sheep (or goat, depending on what you read). Apparently, the sheep is a symbol of peace, harmonious co-existence and tranquility. If 2015 has all that, I’m down with that plan!
I don’t personally believe in new year’s resolutions, because I feel like if you want to make changes in your life you should start at the moment you reach that decision, and not wait for an arbitrary date on the calendar. However, the feeling of new beginnings and new seasons can sometimes be just the ticket to finally making moves and changing your life, so take advantage of it!
News From Around The Globe:
Andrew Nicholson has confirmed that he was axed from the NZ Eventing squad, and not just unavailable for the 2015 year. After withdrawing himself from consideration in October due to disagreements and concerns about veterinary care Nereo received at the WEG, Andrew had several discussions with ESNZ to resolve the matter. He felt that he had been heard, and notified them in December via email that he was putting himself back in contention for the team. However, ESNZ left him off. And it wasn’t a mistake.

George Morris is back at it again, teaching a horsemastership clinic in Wellington to ring in the new year. We’re all familiar with George’s take no prisoners approach to teaching, and his affinity for classical riding and no crap. He never fails to dissapoint, coming up with some pretty great one-liners every day. Click for the Chronicle’s excellent coverage of the day. [COTH George Morris: No Tricks or Gimmicks]
