When weariness and sadness creep in, go catch your horse.

When grief and anger stream down your cheeks, saddle up.

When you're exhausted, and burned out from life, mount up and let your horse lead the way.

It might not change anything, but it might change everything. There is something about leather and horse sweat that heals the wounds of the brokenhearted.

I pray that if you have a horse in your life, that you let them carry some of your load. They truly are angels on earth.

❤️Richelle

You may think that you don’t have time to mess up, when in reality, you don’t have time to wait to be perfect. The key to growth is focusing on progression, not perfection.

Leave it at the gate….
⠀
No matter what is going on in life when you start down the alley you better have your game face on.
⠀
The arena is the one place that once you enter your focus better be on the task at hand.
⠀
You will ride your horse for every step he takes. You are here to have the best run you can make. For that few seconds I need you HERE and NOW.
⠀
Do the job.
⠀
Be the champion!

Life will be waiting when you get off and uncinch.

What’s the difference between horsemanship and barrel racing? When you set a can up. That’s it.

You don’t have to have the barrels, or do a barrel drill to work on the barrels. If you improve your horsemanship by learning by the mechanics of movement, how to move individual parts and then put them back together so that you can teach the horse how to best use his body—you are working on the barrels.

If you took six months off from barrels and only watched c**t starting and reining cow training videos, and worked with someone local-ish who knows true horsemanship—when you finally set up a barrel again, you would be amazed at how great your horse would work the barrels.

The can sitting in the arena is the only difference. Am I saying you never need to pattern? Of course not. I’m saying, don’t get so focused on the can that you forget about horsemanship. Just the PSA that’s on my mind today, for whatever it’s worth, or not 🤗

Sacrifice or investment?
⠀
The time you put towards reaching goals.
⠀
The energy and determination given to win.
⠀
The missed events and time having fun.
⠀
The late nights and early mornings.
⠀
The tears of frustration, the failures, the stress.
⠀
We know it’s an investment into our future. It’s an investment into our dream.
⠀
We choose to see investments instead of sacrifices.

Keep Going:
I saw how you carried yourself after a few bad runs, keep going. I know that young horse is just not getting it fast enough, keep going. I know that you feel like you just can’t catch a break, keep going. I know the goals and dreams are hard when life gets in the way, keep going. JUST. KEEP. GOING. Your dreams are NOT going to wait around for you to take a breather. They are going to say catch me, catch me if you can. So keep chasing the dream. Keep chasing those goals. The sun always shines after the storm. You have absolutely nothing that you have to prove to anyone but yourself. Stop holding yourself back because of the set backs and the failures. Things will get better. Just keep going for yourself. You will surprise yourself with what you are truly capable of. Your perseverance through the hard times will set you apart from the crowd. It will make you better in every aspect of your life if you just keep trying and keep pushing yourself to get better. You have to just keep going. Don’t feed into everyone else’s opinions of your own success story. You are the writer of this story. You hold the pen. So keep writing that story. Keep chasing that dream. Just keep going.

Underdog Mindset

12/09/2022

What does it take to have a World Champion Mindset? Always find the positives. Barrel Racing has tough competitors, but one of the hardest people to compete against is yourself.

Remember, success doesn't come overnight, it happens one run at a time. After your runs focus on the positives. Perhaps your horse caught his lead that run, maybe your third barrel was tighter, find the little things that will build to the big things. Grow confidence in yourself.

Success is like a staircase, focus on climbing, putting one foot in front of the other. That's when you and your horse will really start to shine.

Perspective……
⠀
Some view loping circles and slow pattern work as boring and mundane.
⠀
Some view loping circles and slow pattern work as the building of a champion.
⠀
Some will appreciate the time it took to learn how to place a horses feet and to teach them confidence.
⠀
Some will understand body placement and teaching a horse to carry itself correctly.
⠀
Some will appreciate that we are learning timing and feel.
⠀
Some will understand this is how winners become winners—that hours in the saddle and hours on the pattern are where champions and trainers are built.
⠀
And some will just do this for fun.

Every horse is an education.
⠀
They are all unique and require a custom training program.
⠀
With each horse we develop into better trainers. We learn to be better jockeys.
⠀
With every horse we learn to communicate with more precision. Our timing and feel fine tune with each horse we ride.
⠀
The more experience we have the better horse trainers we can become.
⠀
Let’s ride another one.

The thousand piece puzzle.

I look at horse training like a puzzle. Some come together pretty easy, the pieces are large, the colors are obvious, everything just seems to fit! Those are the kind that make us look good, the ones that make us seem and feel like we know what we’re doing! Sometimes it seems like you could throw one of the pieces and it would still go into place as if it were a magnet.

Then there’s the 500 piece puzzle. You can still sort by color but it takes a little more effort to find the pieces that fit. This one keeps your mind working but still gives you glimpses of light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes you want to give up but then you find another couple of pieces that get you one step closer to your 500!

It’s the thousand piece puzzle that will truly test you. This puzzle is a challenge from the very beginning. It’s overwhelming from day one and you kind of want to quit before you even start. But because you crave a challenge you decide to keep going. You begin strategizing and sorting. This one requires you to look at each piece in great detail trying not to overlook anything. This is the puzzle that tests your craftsmanship. While it takes a lot more thought and effort, when the pieces start coming together the reward feels different. This one makes you feel resilient and gives you the willpower to keep going! Sometimes you feel like you have it figured out and other times you’re pretty sure there are pieces that must’ve been lost for good! But you get up and try to find them anyway because you know the puzzle deserves to be put together!
