2019 has been our biggest year so far in terms of participation, heritage livestock production, wildlife habitat creation, and number of very young riding students. Most importantly, we have touched more lives in a deeper and more meaningful way than in any previous year. The music program has grown beyond anything that I ever imagined.
My biggest surprise remains how much the kids enjoy learning about permaculture and soil and water conservation. This year that interest will be put to the test as we complete the conversion of the New Land from brush and trees into multiple pastures. My body will be put to the test as we convert Jacobs Woods into silvopasture.
Perhaps this will be the year that we are able to obtain a tractor. if so we will construct swales on the low sides of the old land and choke off what little bit of runoff still occurs. I hope that we can expand our vermiculture operation.
And we shall ride. And we shall record our mileage. And the number of cumulative miles that we ride will continue to shock riding programs across the region. In 2019 our cumulative mileage that was recorded exceeded the distance from Norfolk to San Francisco.
We will have many foals born in 2020. Most of them will be Choctaws. We will expand the number of nearly extinct San Clemente goats in existence.
