Happy Valentineโ€™s Day! My top 3 horses that have changed my career in different times in my life and will always be in my heart. Hector, Proper, and Bucky. Bucky is the only one still here on this earth. And I didnโ€™t fall off Proper that day. It was the biggest save of the day as he locked on to that next fence and never skipped a beat. ๐Ÿฅน

Peter did great today. A little humpy in the round pen but instead of getting off and doing more groundwork, we went to the arena.โœŒ๏ธ

Blaze is getting much better at lead changes. I let Wes try it out and not too shabby. Need to stay more centered but weโ€™ll plug away at that. Sometimes I feel pressured to post updates when I want this cleaned up better.

Ive dealt with critics all my life. Precisely when I was as young as 8years old. I got bucked off a lot and my confidence was darn near shattered. I couldnโ€™t put a saddle on by myself and used a ba****ck pad. The Arab mare had my number but I kept trying. So yes, lots of tears at 4-H meetings and those people still talk about it to this day that Iโ€™m a cry baby.

I was 13years old and was learning how to jump. Once again, a horse I had no business learning on was purchased as a project and the only thing I had to meet those goals. My parents videoed my rides on a camcorder. In the video you can hear adults snickering in the background cause every fence the horse jump, Iโ€™d face plant into his neck and pop back up before the next vertical.๏ฟผ

I unknowingly at the time was in an abusive narcissistic relationship. I was told often that if he were my client, heโ€™d be disappointed in me. Or that he was engaged to me because there were no other options for him in terms of women and settled for me. The mental abuse is something I still battle everyday. Having children with a monster that is suing me in every aspect and trying to take custody is a hell I donโ€™t ever wish on my worst enemy.

Because of my experiences, my profession, and my past poor choices, Iโ€™ve learned resiliency, grace, boundaries, and grit. Things donโ€™t bother me like they did even only a couple years ago. Iโ€™m at the stage of been there, done that, bought the t-shirt and now ready to level up with the big dogs.

Critics will always be there and it usually has nothing to do with you. They are inexperienced, they are hurt, and they lack something in their personal lives.

This has been on my mind as a fashion influencer and leveling up my game as a horse trainer. Clients donโ€™t want trendy.

They want connection.
They want solutions.
They want authentic.
They want community.

Focus on that and critics just become a laughing stock for the rest of us.

My success is not by accident, itโ€™s intentional.

Peter. Sometimes you go straight through it to get to the good stuff. And yes, Iโ€™ve done extensive groundwork well before..

Coaching Wes that if you get that horse centered, let them carry you. Nice work

A few months ago, he wouldโ€™ve bucked or get super sticky asking for anything lateral. This 4yo stud is figuring it out.

Human PTSD

Muscles, eyes, neck, and ears are tense. Breathing gets faster and more labored. Body is short. These are the symptoms when we add ourselves into the training equation with a horse with possible โ€œhuman ptsdโ€. Itโ€™s because we possess energy. And many times our energy may not have timing or feel to invite the horse into the conversation.

Many times inexperienced owners think the horse needs more tarp training, more saddle time, more ponying, more groundwork, etc, etc, etc.....

Have you ever thought maybe he needs to be ok with YOU?!

MAKING MISTAKES

Horse people crack me up, better yet the internetโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆactually society as a whole.

Everyone is obsessed with perfection, goals, and doing it right. So much, that they are afraid to try in fear of making a mistake.

Folks are obsessed with pointing out mistakes or things that make them uncomfortable cause they want to be right. It could be my views, horse isnโ€™t wearing boots, they see a flag and assume itโ€™s too much pressure, I je**ed too hard or I didnโ€™t correct that. The horse bucked!!! So the sky must be falling. It never stops.

Just remember, mistakes only happen when you try. And you have to try to get to your goals. Itโ€™s ok to make mistakes because your horse makes mistakes too. Enjoy the journey. Success stems from past failures.

I'm a pleaser. Id say I'm all about customer service in being real and helping my client, along with doing my job building great horses. Every now and then I get inquries that clearly look at me as a service. Lets just say, like a mechanic. Its pretty black and white. Theres alot of grey matter with horses.

I recieved an inquiry months ago stating that their horse is well broke. He knows all his buttons. Can walk, trot, lope, soft in the bridle, stops well, good on trails. But the owner has no time to teach him to neck rein.......

Ok...

I told him my rate and that I have a 60 day minimum on any horse that steps foot on my property. (Except halter breaking yearlings). Regardless if its a c**t start, tune up, refinement, however you want me to put a stamp on it. His response " You are telling me that I have to pay you $2,600 to teach my horse to neck rein?"

I started laughing in pure humor at my phone. I wanted to say "Hell yes, and im worth every penny of it!!!!!!" ๐Ÿ˜„ I didnt respond back and let silence answer that ignorant question. And then I went on with my day.

When it comes to training, I like to view the process of training horses like an onion. Its got a lot of layers to it. Clearly if this horse came into my program, you know I'm not going to go straight to neck reining. Thats just the end result of another underlying problem. Owners don't understand that, but thats not their job. Its your job to explain that process. It takes months for a horse to learn, and get physically fit. And when I say fit, im talking about self carriage and how well they balance themselves. It takes months for a horse to gain confidence in himself, or trust in his human.

And then aside of training, they are cared for twice a day. How much blanketing and taking blankets off. Organizing the farrier appointments, massage appointments, chiropractor appointments, hauling to go trail riding, hauling to see cows, calling the vet when your horse gets sick or hurt, or all the tack or fencing destroyed by clients horses. So when you break it all down, ask yourself "Is this investment worth it?" Is my horses well being being met? Am I going to attain my goals with this person? Those are the questions you should ask before questioning the rate...๐Ÿ‘

Lawrence.

And there are several ways to teach this. I do use different methods depending on the horse. And honestly, I wasnโ€™t sure if Lawrence was ready but thought, heck letโ€™s try it out and see what happens. I did a lot of yielding before attempting this. I do believe his change will improve tremendously when he finds his balance trotting in the leg yields.
