I'm sure you have all seen the movie (or at least heard of it) The Bucket List. If not, a "bucket list" is a list of things you want to do before you die. So I'd like to know what is on your horsesy bucket list? I've been fortunate enough to mark a lot of things off of my bucket list (before I even knew that I had a bucket list!), but here are a few that I'd still like to mark off:
Play in a Polo Match Finish a class at the Royal (was promptly thrown off by the pony when I was younger) Plow a field with a team of horses Train and rehome a BLM mustang Get my MSc in Equine Science

Aside from all the ones already mentioned, (putting emphasis on the Equine Science, and playing Polo...), I would absolutely love to have the opportunity to ride under someone like Steffen Peters, Ian Millar, Lynn Palm, Shawn Flarida, or any number of my "big time" favourites. Along with that, I'd love to have the opportunity to take a horse like Hickstead or Ravel through a course/test. Ohhh to dream.
