I had someone ask me this week why attendance is one of the factors that affects scheduling.

I thought it was an odd question, because it has a pretty simple answer...open lesson times don't pay bills. So scheduling someone who isn't going to show up regularly isn't a good business decision.

But it really goes deeper than that.

One of the most profound lessons that horses teach us is commitment. Commitment to caring for them, commitment to bettering ourselves, and commitment to setting goals and achieving them.

If you aren't attending the lessons you scheduled (horseback riding or any other sport) regularly, you're missing this point. Your progress will be minimal and you'll end up frustrated.

Holding space for someone who isn't committed to that space will suck the life right out of you. (Read that twice, because it applies every single day of your life). It isn't just a financial drain. It's tough to get excited to teach someone who isn't committed to learning.

So yes, I'm going to schedule riders who are committed to learning and who attend regularly first. Their enthusiasm keeps me going when the day is kicking my butt. They remind me that this purpose is far bigger than just what is happening in the arena.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. šŸ¤£

Itā€™s never just scooping up p**p - so much happens to us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually while completing this task. This is why OBH believes that when you learn about horses itā€™s important to show the whole picture and everything it takes to swing your leg over that horseā€™s back.

If youā€™ve been following our page and are curious to see what itā€™s like to participate in our services, please DM us! Weā€™d love to help you get started on your horse journey!

Progress Takes Patienceā€”But Itā€™s Possible.

Sunday had one of his best trim sessions yet. His journey hasnā€™t been easyā€”emotional and physical scars tell us thatā€”but with consistent, compassionate training, weā€™re seeing transformation.

At Oliveā€™s Branch Healing, we tailor our training to meet horses and their human partners right where they are. From trust-building exercises to positive reinforcement and boundary-setting, we help you become fluent in equine communication that creates space for a partnership rooted in trust, confidence, and respectā€”not fear.

āœØ If your horse struggles with trims, handling (on the ground and/or in the saddle), confidence, or trust, youā€™re not alone. We have limited training spots availableā€”reach out today to start your journey together.

DM us to learn more!
