Camryn here:
Since my friend Shy rated her Mom to see where she may have room for improvements I felt it a good idea to do the same for my Mom.  Didn't want her feeling left out you know.
So here goes,

Grooming:
A: Needs Improvement
B: Meets Expectations
C: Exceeds expectations
Mom keeps my fly rug on and in good repair.  Or she keeps me all fly sprayed and as bug free as she possibly can.  She could to better in the brushing department but, being as I'm mostly covered up that can be difficult. Also she really should comb bedding from my tail daily but, doesn't!

Cleanliness of stables and pastures
A: Needs Improvement
B: Meets expectations
C: Exceeds expectations
Another Meets Expectations.  My room is tidied daily as is my paddock and main poo areas of the pasture.  My water is filled multiple times a day (a girl likes to be hydrated).  Mom could however water my pasture daily as it's really quite crunchy!

Number of treats per interaction
A. Needs Improvement
B: Meets expectations
C: Exceeds expectations
While I'm sure with my clicker training most would say Mom exceeds expectations.  I however feel I should get a click/treat with every step I take!  Working on that one.

Stylisheness and comfort of transportation rig (trailer/truck)
A: Needs Improvement
B: Meets expectations
C: Exceeds expectations
Ok, so Needs improvement for sure here.  While the towing vehicle is quite nice.  My trailer is SIGH not so much.  But, it'll do for now, lets just say we ain't traveling in the heat.  Mom isn't into baked Camryn thank heavens!

Level of endearing comments regarding said equine, both online and in person.
B: Meets expectations
A: Needs Imrovement
C: Exceeds expectations
I'd have to say this Exceeds expectations is due to me exceeding expectations rather than Mom.  I'm such a good girl I have all sorts of lovely nicknames: Gurlfriend, Gurly Gurl, Gorgeous Gurl, Whatta Good Gurl...
I rarely do anything any more that involves such comments as "You Be-otch"!

On time completion of scheduled activities: farrier, vet, vaccinations, de-worming
A: Needs Improvement

B: Meets expectations
C: Exceeds expectations
K, another Exceeds expectations on this one.  I'd have given her a needs improvement on the trimming except that I overheard today that I'll be bumping up to 6 weeks.  My supplements have my feet growing faster now.  Hadn't realized that trimmer and Mom were on top of this issue. 

Riding Abilities
A: Needs improvement
B: Meets expectations
C: Exceeds expectations
The Exceeds expectations isn't so much that Mom is an awesome rider (she isn't) it's because she makes sure I'm  happy with my gear.  Ecspecially love the bitless bridle part.

The total :
A = 1
B = 3
C = 3

So while Mom could use more C's, over all I'd say she's a keeper.  Maybe next year the A will come up to a B?  Though that's more up to Dad than Mom anyway.
Later
