Plans for 2017 ?

[Ryan]

Cannot believe how fast 2016 has gone , to think the new year is right around the corner is quite scary.

Who has plans for the new year and into 2017 ?

Over the summer months here I plan to (finally) order flyscreens for the house , probably one of the final things to be done at home along with curtain one final room.
Im hoping to have 3 more paddocks in place out the back so I have a little more rotation options during winter.
Id love to stain the front fence a second time and also the back of the fence that is behind the lake. I stained the front of it two years ago and never quite got the time to do the back.
Im planning to eat healthier ( im a shocker for Icecream ) and the plan is to have the veggie garden going all year round .

And finally , to be riding again       (actually hoping to hop on for 5 mins this weekend just to have a sit and see how things are feeling)

and lastly hoping everyone here  has a healthy and happy 2017

hoping that once we get calves shipped, we'll get back to work on the house, and get the windows finished up, they need spray foam, trim work and shades.
Come spring, I hope to breed a few mares for 2018.  Plan to work harder at getting Baybe covered this year, Che` give whole new meaning to hand breeding.      Topper is easy enough, just turn him out with his mares and he gets the job done, but this year I'll give him more time; we missed one mare only giving him 3 weeks.
Come summer, I should probably paint the new windbreak so it lasts longer.

I don't make plans in life. It's more fun that way

[Ryan]

Fingers crossed that Baybe is covered Chanda   And the rest of your list gets completed.

I agree in a way Hayley but i also think setting goals and plans also helps you strive to achieve

[dcwolcott]

Yes, I have to admit, that I have goals and plans....and at my age.....a "bucket list" !!

[Chanda]

Fingers crossed that Baybe is covered Chanda   And the rest of your list gets completed.

It's a will be...  I won't start until April/May, and April is a bit early for us, but if I start early, perhaps I'll catch one cycle, at least.   I would love a buckskin colt from the two of them.  Come hell or high water, I'm going to have that rich buckskin I want, but it may take awhile.

I'm praying you get that perfect buckskin colt you've been wanting!

I'm praying you get that perfect buckskin colt you've been wanting!

Either a filly from Bonny or a colt from Baybe will work, just hoping it's that rich golden color without silver.

Fingers crossed, and praying hard for you!!

I know I have plans for 2017, but I wondered THIS weekend, how I was going to get through 2016!  Such a busy weekend, with so many things to do.  Family coming for Christmas, so lots of house cleaning going on, meal plannings, where is everyone going to sleep--at who's house!  WHEW!!

[Ryan]

Its crazy busy for everyone this time of the year

Fingers crossed for you too Chanda
