🍻CHEERS TO YOU AND ME🥂 “Cheerio” is a 16.2 hd, 2020 mare by W***y Be Invited x Look N Hot Sister. She is a super cool all around prospect, easily ready to show in the hus and started in the pattern events. She has a really nice lead change (green but it’s there!) and shows a lot of talent over poles, does not want to touch a thing. She is absolutely gorgeous and will be beautiful in the showmanship too, she is doing daily work with that as well. She is still in the project phase of her training but is really fun to work with, and with some additional time put into her is going to be one tough all arounder to beat. She is kind and sweet, not marish at all. Would be a really cool youth horse, we definitely see her doing the horsemanship and eq in the future. Cheerio will be available to try at the Mothers Day Circuit in Paso Robles next week. Pm or call 408-427-6731 for more info!

06/10/2023

Let’s talk about the lack of quality coaching and lack of standards in the equine industry. For example, kids learning with someone who claims to be a "coach" and all they learned is how to see-saw a horse's head down and chuck their body around a barrel like a champion. All coaching is not equal.

But what happens when you have a good coach? One that opens their program to you, takes you under his/her wing? Becomes invested in your success? When you essentially become part of the "family"...

Eventually, something will happen...

Coach tells you that you are not Martha Josey 2.0, and not ready to make the move up to the next level.
Coach says you need to go back and fix some holes in your training.
Coach says you have developed a bad habit, and it needs to be fixed before you can accomplish your goals.
Coach says you need to make sure that your horse is being ridden (not just hanging out at the barn).
Coach says you need to dedicate more time to studying the sport, not just riding.
Coach says it isn't a "horse" problem, it is a "you" problem.

People have become increasingly more reactionary. More easily offended. In lieu of everyone getting a trophy, it is so hard to hear these words from people you admire. Some of the best coaches will be the toughest. Not ones that tear you apart constantly, but coaches that aren't afraid to have the tough conversations with you. Or conversations that you may not have wanted to have.

But remember, a good coach is in YOUR corner. They want YOU to achieve success. They dedicate so much more than an hour of time to your growth not only as a rider but as a horseman. Maybe you are burning the candle at both ends (and in the middle), and you need a reality check that this sport requires more of your time and focus.

These conversations can hurt, but while it may sting at first.... take a second. Think about why your coach is against you moving up right now, why your coach is saying to wait until the summer to be a working student, why your coach is saying that you should not enter the show until the homework and flat work is done.

Surround yourself with coaches that aren't afraid to have these tough conversations with you. You don't want or need a "cheerleader" coach. You are paying you for your coach’s expertise... the positives and the criticism. Let them help make the best decisions for your horse, and for your program. The lessons on the horse and the lessons off of the horse. Are you ready? Are you doing what is best by your horse? You owe it to yourself and your horse....
