This is excellent!

The less you see the goal as a life-changing experience, the higher the chances it will actually change your life.There’s a unique energy we derive when we face major challenges—whether it’s a horse show, an important business meeting, or even a first date. The timeline leading up to the event...

Episode 6 is ready for you!

It's time to talk horse care. In this episode, we have a wonderful opportunity to hear from a veterinarian- a terrific one at that- about two closely related subjects: colic and ulcers. This issue affects nearly every horse owner in one way or another, so it will be hugely beneficial information!

🚨New Episode Alert: Releasing Tomorrow Morning! 🚨🐴

Have you encountered horse people (or anyone, really) who have ethical views you can’t believe they could possibly hold?

In the last episode, some themes came up that are highly controversial in the horse world, but there wasn’t time to really discuss or unpack them.

So, this episode is all about encountering different ethical ideas that may get under our skin, or even outrage us. The prime examples we’ll ultimately discuss here are why someone who loves horses would be FOR **horse slaughter and wild horse roundups**.

There’s quite a bit of psychology at play here in how we handle disagreement, which we have to get a handle on before we can do ethics well and have productive discussions. So grab your rough stock gear and get ready to ride through some tough jumps!

Be sure to subscribe/follow on your favorite listening app so you don’t miss anything! Following, rating and sharing the show really does help get it out in front of more listeners, so if you enjoy the show I’d appreciate either one of those! 🤠 https://pod.link/1783213963

The Evolution of Horsemanship in 4 Stages:

Stage 1: That looks easy. I bet anyone can do it. The answers to problems are obvious.

—> experience—>

Stage 2: This is really complicated and I don’t actually know what I’m doing. I am so confused and frustrated.

—> experience—>

Stage 3: I mastered this horsemanship thing, so I can answer any question and can fix anything. The answers to problems are obvious.

—> experience—>

Stage 4: I was a mouth breathing idiot back in Stage 3. I have screwed up horses and have given lots of bad advice during this process. I’m going to commit myself to learning for the rest of my life because this is complicated and I don’t always know what I’m doing, and the answers to problems are rarely obvious.

🛠⚙️ 📢 🚨Big life changes often lead to big business changes, which are coming to the Geis Equine page. It will be pivoting and becoming the Saddle Up University page, which is going to be my new online business hub. More details will be trickling out soon, but in the meantime don't be surprised when you see transformations start to happen here. It’s still me, just with a new game plan. 😁📢
