As it nears the new year of 2013, I've been thinking about what my resolutions should be. Not only for my personal life, but how I should apply it to my favorite hobby.
My sincere resolutions for 2013 are the following:
-become a more active and supportive member to my current clubs- IPABRA, MHFC, and IMEHA, namely. This means more judging, more financial aid, and donating the custom saddle pads I make as small rewards for photo shows.
-revive my Grand Champions club, if only to give avid collectors a place to post photos.
-stand up for the ideals of the hobby at its heart. Resist the people who are only in it for the fix-and-flip, or greed, or winning.
-buy the Morgan Stones I want. We all deserve to treat ourselves every once in awhile.
-treat my friends.
-do what I can to market my websites and draw in more clients.
-write in the blog at least once a week.
Thank you all for following my blog. Even if we've never talked, I appreciate all of my readers, because it is a silent support of my ideas, and validates my want to write it all down and share it.

A Look Back at 2012
First off, I am happy to report that my horses and I survived the 2012 apocalypse and are looking forward to the rest of our apocalypse-free lives!
Earlier this year, we took up the daunting task of moving *all* horses of Golden Hart Estates from wonderful windy Wyoming to the arid desert heat of Arizona. Hello, Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show!
We continually expanded our herd with many new purchases, and reached the astounding achievement of having 1000 model horses! We are heartily looking forward to the next 1000 :3
After the layoff of our prime income-holder, we took up the needle and thread and tried our hand at making saddle pads for Classic sizes.
Golden Hart Estates also undertook an important venture into make-ism, and created Silver Rose Park, a website for only the best we have to offer. We hope that this website will appeal to some of the older generations in the hobby that prefer pedigree assignment solely from Breyer, Stone, or resin-quality bodies.
We reached our goal of obtaining all four Weather Girls, and Alborozo to boot! We have some pretty high goals for next year, so expect big things from our stable.
What did you, my readers, do this year? Did you accomplish everything you hoped to?
