It feels like only yesterday I was writing about the start of the season and the end is here already!
This has been the second season for me based at Newhall, just outside Exeter where the facilities have really helped me to develop both the horses fitness and training especially through those tough winter months, of which I am sure we will see again.
Over the season I have competed 12 different horses at varying levels from young horses up to Blenheim International, Badminton has been elusive this year but is definitely on the radar for next year!
It’s been really nice to see some of the young horses I have produced moving up through the ranks to Advanced. It makes all the hard work worth while and it’s been nice to have the ongoing support of the owners as I know this is an expensive sport. Hopefully one day it’ll all pay off and I hope that they are as pleased as I am.
Next season is set to be even more exciting with new owners, horses and sponsors coming on board. Having been in this sport for nearly a decade I am all too aware of the long road it takes to get to the top but I get more and more determined to get there each year and whilst 2012 is our of reach, 2016 is the light at the end of the tunnel.
All the hours on the road, spent in the saddle and in front of the laptop could not be achieved without the help and support of a massive team of people who sometimes never get near the limelight. My mum has supported me from the beginning and to this day remains my most loyal supporter – for which I can’t thank her enough. Some of my owners have stayed loyal through some tough times with their horses which means the world to me and I hope that I have repaid them with some good results.
I’ve built up a loyal base of clients for teaching, across the levels and disciplines and have found this to be both rewarding and encouraging. There is nothing more satisfying than teaching someone who wants to learn and develop and I’m looking forward to seeing them out and about over the winter.
Something that I want to develop more on is clinics for riders over the winter, so keep your eyes peeled on the websiteand my Facebook page Aaron Millar Eventing for dates and venues over December, January and February aiming towards the start of the 2012 season.
