It's not everyday you have a legend putting on a clinic in your back yard! I can't believe now I can say I went to Joe Beaver Clinic!

I've admired Joe for years, and knew I had to make it had to go even if it was just for a few hours.

In the couple hours I was able to watch the groundwork I picked up a lot of clarity and can't wait to pick up a rope again.

Facebook Marketplace score of the day! I've been needing another saddle rack since I have 5 saddles and one folding rack upstairs 😅

This little gem will be perfect for what I need 😍

Don't you even dare look in my horse trailer tack room by the end of a show day when I just want to get home 🫣😅

That tracks! 😂😂😂

The wind today is HORRIBLE. So bad I had to cancel a lesson 😔 Buttttt that's spring 🙃

In cases like this it's always better to put you and your horse's safety first. It's ok to sometimes just tap out and say not today. There's just nothing good that will come from it.

Horses are already extra spooky in the wind, and especially being early spring, their minds (and ours) are less tuned in and turned on.

Even if you wanted to do groundwork, you run the risk of your horse pulling a tendon from jumping around, dragging you across the arena, or even running through a fence.

Saying no doesn't make you any less of a cowgirl, it's doing the right thing as a horseman to keep you and your horse's safe so you can ride another day.

Today I dealt with a problem situation with a horse that I haven't necessairly experienced first hand. 🐴

I knew it could have went one of two ways, either really good, or really bad. 🫣

What I did know was that you cannot force a horse to do something that they don't want to, and most of the time they have a very valid reason as to why they don't want to.

What i did know is that I have a solid horsemanship foundation & I was just going to do my best using my common horse sense.

What I did know is let my energy do the talking and be observant to all the little details that I could pick up on.

And guess what! We had great success! That was part luck that the new horse wasn't as damaged good as we were anticipating and part just trusting you gut instincts & horsemanship foundation. ❤️

This time of year, IYKYK 🤣 my kids classroom may now also have remnants of horse hair off her coat as well 😅 That stuff sticks to everything!

Tis the season...

What area is where you have the most limiting beliefs with your horses? 😱🐴

Is it your riding ability? Training ability? In the show arena? Riding in front of others?

What exactly about that area gets you the most worked up?

I'd love any feedback as I am doing a deep dive into researching this. Feel free to pm me too!

The way you think shapes the way you ride. Quiet the negative self-talk, and your horse will feel the difference. It starts with retraining your subconscious.

Horses and Iced Coffee, best way to spend your birthday 🥰

If you know me you know I'm a sucker for a nice western headstall.

Since my 'fancy' headstall broke last summer I've been looking to replace it. Today I snagged up both of these 🤩

With a little bit of leather wash & olive oil, they're looking like new!

Now what bits do I put on them 🤔

Many people want an abundant life, and that's great! By all means, I hope you do have the life you desire, but be careful and don't confuse abundance in life with things.

I know that's easier said than done in the horse industry with the latest and greatest products that market to make you feel guilty for not giving your horse the best care if you're not buying all the new things.

But maybe, just maybe the abundance should come from the joy that our horses bring us every day with the time with spend with them and the relationships we develop over time.

As Eckhart Tolle said, "If things were the symbol of abundance than that would mean the shopping mall would be the kingdom of heaven". 😅

I don't know about you, but the barn is much more my heaven than any store.

Horses Do Well When They Can—Just Like Us

If they’re struggling, it’s not about stubbornness or bad behavior. It’s about lacking the right foundation.

In my latest blog post, I dive into an eye-opening perspective from a recent podcast interview with psychologist Dr. J. Stuart Ablon on people, and I connect it to what we see in horsemanship every day.

This shift in mindset could change the way you work with your horse forever.

As always, I'm grateful and appreciate your shares!

Just like we need rest to stay sharp, so do our horses - Let them be horses- it's how they sharpen their axe.

It has been so cool watching the highlights of Phil Haugen at road to the horse. He's such an amazing horseman to watch and I'm even more excited (which I didn't think was possible) for my clinic with him this fall! I also realized that one of the judges was my second year Natural Horsemanship teacher at Montana- Western!
