Hey friends! 🐴✨ Today, I want to share something close to my heart. As an always evolving mustang lover, I’ve learned that the journey with our horses—and ourselves—isn’t about being perfect; it’s more about connection, growth, and kindness.

Just like our equine friends, we all have our quirks and imperfections. It’s easy to feel like we’re constantly falling short or missing the mark, especially when we compare ourselves to others or chase after an ideal that feels just out of reach. But trust me when I say: it’s okay to be a work in progress!

💖Here’s what I’ve discovered:

1. Embrace Your Humanity: Mistakes are part of the ride! Each misstep is a lesson that helps us grow stronger and wiser.

2. Redefine Success: Success isn’t just about accolades; it’s about the joy we find in our journey and the connections we make along the way.

3. Release People-Pleasing: You are enough just as you are. Set boundaries and honor your own needs. Authentic relationships come from being true to yourself.

4. Cultivate Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with the same kindness you show your horses. You deserve love and respect, flaws and all.

5. Focus on Contribution: Instead of comparing, think about what you can give. Your unique gifts are what make the world a better place!

6. Embrace the Journey: Life is a beautiful, messy journey. Let’s celebrate every step we take together, learning and growing along the way.

Remember, true strength lies in being authentic and compassionate—both to ourselves and to others. We can ride this journey together, embracing our imperfections and becoming the powerful, selfless beings we were meant to be. 🌈💪🐎

Sending love to all of you! 💞✨

What’s the key to true connection?

I believe it’s sharing experiences 🌟

In the world of education and training, whether it’s teachers guiding students or trainers working with wild horses, the magic happens not through control, but through shared experiences.

Just like a passionate teacher learns from their students, adapting lessons to meet their needs, a skilled horse trainer understands the importance of building trust with their horses. It's about creating a bond, listening, and learning from one another.

This philosophy is at the heart of my program. By providing an environment where experiences are shared, we empower each student and mustang to grow, learn, and connect. Together, we create a community that thrives on empathy and collaboration, where everyone’s voice matters.

We embrace a journey of mutual understanding, transforming not just the classroom and ranch, but our lives! 🐴📚💖

🌟Community Support Needed!🌟

Hey everyone! We are excited to announce that our construction students at Vista Charter School will soon be working on a new project to build a lean-to for our wild horse course and horsemanship programs! 🛠️🐴

To make this project a reality, we’re reaching out to our amazing community for support. We are in need of building materials, and any donations would be greatly appreciated! Here’s what we’re looking for:

- Lumber (various sizes)
- Sonotubes
- Concrete
- Roofing materials
- Fasteners (nails, screws, etc.)
- Insulation

Your generosity will not only help us create a valuable resource for our students but also inspire them to learn essential skills in construction and teamwork, all while helping our horses in the vista horsemanship program have another option to shelter from weather and sun! 💪✨

If you can contribute materials or know someone who can, please reach out! Together, we can make a difference in our students' lives (both horse and human 😅) and strengthen our community.

Thank you for your support! ❤️

At only 18 years old, Ace's journey exemplifies the profound impact that programs like TAME at Vista Charter can have on young lives. Facing bullying and struggling with anxiety and depression, Ace found a lifeline at TAME, a transformative experience that not only provided healing but also ignited a passion for animal care.

When Wild Horse Course was introduced to Ace, it was more than just an opportunity—it was a turning point. With financial barriers previously hindering access to such opportunities, this program opened doors to healing that Ace didn’t know were possible. Through working with horses, especially a special mustang named Mars, Ace discovered a sense of freedom and acceptance that had been elusive until then.

TAME is not just about riding horses or learning about animal care; it's about building relationships and learning patience, understanding, and emotional connection. Ace’s story showcases how spending time with these majestic animals can help individuals confront their struggles and find joy in the process. The lessons learned in the pen—about communication, ego, respect, and patience—translate into real-life skills that empower young people to overcome their challenges.

Ace’s transformation is a testament to the life-saving potential of programs like TAME at Vista Charter School. By connecting individuals with the healing power of animals, we foster resilience and hope, enabling them to not only cope with their struggles but to thrive. Through such initiatives, we witness firsthand how lives are saved, passions ignited, and futures brightened.

Let's continue to support programs that make a difference and help young people like Ace find their path to healing and happiness. Together, we can change lives, one connection at a time.

And as she sat there with her face towards the moon, she whispered to the wild horses who so clearly hold her heart, 'May we share our thoughts through the night, sharing our love and our breath with the passing stars, and chase the dreams that set our souls free.’

🌟 Letting Go and Embracing Transformation🌟

Today marks the end of an era and the completion of a significant cycle in my life. For so long, I focused intensely on becoming a top trainer, inspired by my time working for one of the most talented and ethical trainers in the mustang industry. The experience was nothing short of transformative, and I am profoundly grateful for the wisdom and skills I acquired during that journey.

Yet, as I stand at this crossroads, I realize that while I learned so much from that incredible soul a couple of years ago, it’s time to step out of the shadow and embrace my own path. Today I let go of Sam. Letting go of Samsara signifies not just a farewell, but a powerful transition… and that is exactly what her name means… the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth to which the material world is bound.

I’ve come to understand that I am a good trainer, but my true calling extends beyond that role. My real power lies in empowering others to discover their own ability to heal themselves and their horses.

We all have the potential to train our horses, but sometimes, we just need a little encouragement, validation, and a supportive figure to help us navigate the journey. Particularly for those of us who struggle with some form of mental health “issues”. I want to be that figure for you, helping you to believe in your capabilities, make friends with your shadow, acquire personal development … and guide you every step of the way. Additionally, I am happy to refer you to others in my community that may meet your specific needs. It takes a village… and finding the right vibe is important not only for you, but for your horse.

More so, I would like to start extending my mentorship into different realms and aspects of mental health and situational lifestyle choices. Keep in mind I am not yet licensed and am not performing therapy services. These services with horses work best when you are already working with a licensed provider.

In light of this new chapter, I'm excited to introduce my new website! While it’s still a work in progress (I have some video content to add to my courses and library… and the membership area is not close to done yet), I invite you to check out my creation in progress to see what’s in store.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Here’s to new beginnings, embracing change, and supporting one another as we all grow and transform. 💖✨

Have you ever noticed the energy shift in a room when someone enters? This is the essence of energetic exchange, a powerful concept that transcends our interactions with both people and animals, especially our horses.

In training methods, being attuned to the energy we project and receive can significantly impact our connection. When we approach training with “mindfulness” ( Please hear me out here, I’m not talking about methods… I’m actually talking about your mind) , we create a harmonious environment that fosters trust and understanding. Horses are incredibly sensitive to our emotions, and by cultivating awareness of our own energy, we can enhance our communication with them.

But this awareness isn’t limited to just training! In our own personal journeys, recognizing energetic exchanges with others allows us to navigate relationships more effectively, leading to healthier connections and a greater sense of balance in our lives. Have you ever felt that “F*** NO” energy? What are some things you do to navigate it? How do you set effective boundaries for the safety of yourself and others?

💡 BOUNDARIES are important 💡

I’m interested to hear your thoughts! 🐴✨

🌟 The 6 Principles of T.A.M.E. 🌟

At T.A.M.E., we believe in creating a transformative connection between horses and humans through our guiding principles:

1. 💜Honor Your Heart💜: Trust your instincts and embrace your emotions as you connect with your horse.
2. 🐴Honor Your Horse🐴 : Show respect and understanding to the unique spirit of each horse you encounter.
3. 🗣️Converse Without Command🚫: Build a relationship based on mutual understanding and communication, rather than dominance.
4. 🧘🏻‍♀️Be First, then Do🧘🏽‍♀️: Establish a connection before asking your horse to perform, fostering trust and cooperation.
5. 🏔️The Adventure is Your Haven🏔️: Embrace the journey of growth and discovery as you explore the world with your horse.
6. ⏯️Stop, Connect, Listen, Trust⏯️: Take a moment to connect with your horse, listen to their needs, and build a foundation of trust.

Join us in honoring these principles to create a deeper bond with your horse and unlock the transformative power of this incredible partnership! 🐴💖

🌌🐎 Happy Friday the 13th! A day often shrouded in superstition and mystery, but did you know that this date has a fascinating history that intertwines with the wild horses we cherish and the journeys of at-risk youth?

Historically, the fear of Friday the 13th stems from various cultural beliefs. In Norse mythology, for example, Loki was the 13th guest at a banquet in Valhalla, leading to chaos and tragedy. Similarly, many cultures have considered the number 13 to be unlucky. Yet, just as wild horses symbolize freedom and resilience, Friday the 13th can remind us to embrace the unexpected!

Wild horses, particularly the mustangs of North America, have faced their own battles against superstition and misunderstanding. Once seen as pests, these majestic creatures are now recognized for their beauty and strength. In our Wild Horse Course, we see this parallel reflected in the lives of our at-risk youth. Just like mustangs, they often face challenges and misconceptions, but beneath the surface lies a powerful spirit waiting to thrive.

Through our work with these incredible horses, our students learn that freedom comes with choice and courage. They discover that, like the mustangs, they can overcome obstacles, embrace their wild spirit, and carve out their own paths in life.

So, on this day, let’s celebrate the wild and the wonderful! Embrace the mysteries of life, just like the mustangs that roam free, and remember that sometimes, the things we fear can lead us to our greatest adventures. 🌟🐴

🌟 "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." - Viktor Frankl 🌟

At TAME, we embrace this powerful idea each day. Working to gentle mustangs, our at-risk youth discover that just like the wild horses, they too have the ability to choose their path. In the moments of challenge, whether it's a horse's initial hesitation or their own doubts, there is a space to breathe, reflect, and decide how to move forward.

Gentling mustangs requires patience, empathy, and understanding. It's not just about training the horse; it's about the connection we build and the choices we make. Each interaction teaches our students that true freedom comes from within—a lesson that transcends the round pen and applies to life itself.

Together, we're not just gentling mustangs; we're empowering young hearts to find their strength, embrace their choices, and create their own futures. 🐎💖
