**Message me for pricing** Beyond the Brim Horse Training supports this piece of advice 100%, Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a perfect horse. Melanie Augustynek, founder of Beyond the Brim Ranch was raised in western New York, she foun

d a passion for horses at a young age and quickly began diving into a truly western lifestyle. Melanie has managed a farm of 50+/- rescue horses with daily tasks including rehabilitating sick or mistreated horses, administering veterinary care, starting and training horses of various different ages and experience levels, and maintaining overall farm standards. For the speed events, she has worked very closely with local IBRA and NBHA champions including Angel Hoyt with A Team Riding Lessons. She has competed in numerous events and super shows across middle Tennessee bringing home regular checks on her beautiful buckskin Elio. She has also participated in a Connie Combs clinic last August where she was able to expand her barrel racing knowledge with a world renowned champion. Her inspirations include Sherry Cervi, Connie Combs, Fallon Taylor, and Kenda Lenseigne. Melanie regularly strives to achieve peace with all her training horses; a peace where the horse is taught to love their alpha, their job, and their home.

Who determines your success rate?

What does success look like?

What does winning feel like?

How do you know you’ve accomplished a goal?

What does potential and growth look like for YOU?

These are all extremely important questions that only Y. O. U. can answer!

Your success is NOT determined by others around you, your parents, your friends or your competitors; It is not determined by the amount of ribbons or money you win, or how many finish lines you cross. It IS you vs you! Set goals and work your tail off to make them happen! Trust me, you’ll know when you’ve won.

On Tuesday night, we had a super successful evening at Bethel Road’s IBRA jackpot. Elio placed in the adult class as well as in the open. Sara Ford and her horse Moonshine took home their very first check and placed 1st in their class as well! Makenzi Krantz made two successful and safe exhibition rides on her 3yr old mare Lakota.

Rely on your heart to tell you if it was a win❤️
I know this one was💪💪💪

**our videos are in comments, good work girls!

Seasoning horses can be so fun...
It can also be frustrating, humbling, and embarrassing.
One time someone told me “don’t worry about who sees your bad days, the people who matter won’t judge, because they’ve all been there.”
Another thing I think about when I have a bad day seasoning one - this is why “finished” horses are worth so much money...because not everyone is willing to embarrass themselves.

I hope y’all enjoy this beautiful Easter Sunday🐣🪺☦️

So many things to be thankful for!

Your horse doesn’t understand English, Spanish, French, German, Italian.. you name it.

So why is word choice so important?

Because we understand the words we are using and they are directly connected to how we feel about the situation. Word choice is important and tied up with emotion.

So when you are talking to your horse, about your horse, and around your horse. I encourage you to be mindful of the words you are choosing to use and the stories you are telling you, your horse, and those around you about your horse.

➡️Instead of... “He’s just being a baby and being overly sensitive today. He’s fine.”.... try “He’s having a hard time today and needs support.”

➡️Instead of...“She’s such a drama queen. I love her.” (even in jest).. try “She’s very expressive with how she feels, and I appreciate that about her. It helps me understand her better and develop a deeper level of communication and connection with her.”

See how those sound COMPLETELY different and come from such a different place? You horse didn’t understand either of those sentences, but they DO understand how you feel about them and how you are treating them. And word choice impacts those things for us.

This is also why I believe names are so important! WE, humans, understand words and the meaning behind them and act accordingly. Name your horse with the understanding that their name will directly impact how they are treated and thought of by you and everyone around them.

You don’t need an expensive horse to win.

You don’t need a fancy saddle or handmade bit to win.

You don’t need a nice rig to win.

You don’t need a barn or an arena to win.

These are all luxuries. It’s nice if you have them, but not a requirement to win.

You need effort and time.
Hard work and consistency.
Strength and resilience.

🚨 Be the beginner 🚨

If you ever feel like you’ve hit the ceiling of what you can learn about your craft - no matter what it is - find a way to be a beginner again!

The bravest people I know aren’t afraid to try new things, look silly, be made fun of, etc. They’re also the most successful people I know.

I’ve found that the thing that holds us back from relationships, trying to turn that hobby into a career or get that promotion is thinking about what people would say if/when you fail.

Let me tell you this secret: YOU WILL FAIL! It shouldn’t be an F word it should be thought a part of the process that is necessary and mandatory.

Imagine how big our egos would be if everything we tried we were instantly good at?!?

It’s in the failures that character is built and every person at every level has once been the beginner.

I started riding jumping horses a few years back and I bet the trainers are still laughing at me trying to trot on a diagonal or steering like a barrel racer.

But I learned so much about conditioning my animals and got to take a look at competition from another angle that truly helped me not feel the burnout of barrel racing over and over.

I love being a beginner. I love failure. Because it always leads to more self awareness and success eventually.

If you have been needing a push to try something that you love but aren’t that great at….heres your sign 🪧

•••Drills•••Drills•••DRILLS!!••• Even tho Playboy’s training is slowing coming to and end, I am going to be posting his old videos and progress shots to share our journey. Here we are working on Playboy paying attention to his rider as a pilot. Barrel horses often become too confident in their job but it is very important that they are still in tune with their rider as they learn. In this drill there is no one consistent or correct pattern, for a reason. You want your horse to be ready to turn anytime he is asked, weather that be around a barrel, cone or even a tree. There are additional cones placed around some of the barrels to help playboy stay equidistant from the barrel as he turns. We are also working on staying collected and a reduction in speed and he takes his final strides toward the barrel, because similar to a car it would be extremely hard to turn a tight corner without slowing down first. At the end you see us work on a stop using only my body weight to fully stop his movement. Then, he is asked to turn his hip toward the barrel he just left to mimic the desired body position when leaving a barrel in a run.
