Tack Room Talk Have you ever noticed how your horse mirrors your mood? 🐴

If you’re tense, they feel it. If you’re calm, they trust it. That’s why mindset training is as critical as physical preparation. Together, let’s develop tools to manage stress and build confidence, both in and out of the arena. This is one of the tack rooms at Stutteri Ask Denmark. This work of beauty defiantly makes me feel calm!

It’s not just about how hard you train; it’s about how smart you recover. 🧘‍♀️

Horses need downtime to process their learning, and so do you. Take time to reflect on this week’s lessons. What went well? What can you adjust? A clear mind leads to clear communication in the saddle.

Midweek Motivation ✨ “The way you speak to yourself matters as much as how you train your horse.” ✨
When things don’t go as planned, it’s easy to fall into self-criticism. But remember, just like your horse thrives on positive reinforcement, so do you. Celebrate small wins, reflect with kindness, and keep moving forward.

Horses are a gift. Whether it’s the steady partner who’s seen us through tough times or the spirited youngster teaching us patience, they enrich our lives immeasurably. Feeling grateful today—how about you??

30/12/2024

As the year comes to an end, I find myself reflecting on how much our horses teach us about patience, trust, and adaptability—and about living in the moment, being present, and practicing tolerance (though I’ll admit I don’t always get it right!)
The latter part of 2024 has brought massive changes in my personal life, including a new location and the experience of parting with some very special horses. Even without my own horses, I feel blessed to still be part of an active yard and an equestrian lifestyle that continues to inspire and fulfil me.
Horses have a way of grounding us through life’s ups and downs. What has your horse taught you this year?
The photo is of one of my broodmares Moulin Rouge and her last foal with me Sherbet Wendy. Such beautiful souls, I am grateful to have shared time and love with them ♥♥
