Lead your life the way you lead your horse, with forward Energy.

Sometimes we might feel the opposite. But that is another story 🙃😍.
Energy is an Internal job. You feel it, The Horse feels, others around you feel it.
Sometimes The Horse will 'lead' the direction of training or quite time spent together. I Do Not mean The Horse is pushing or pulling you all over the place. That is definitely another story 😊, train yourself, train your horse.

I'm talking more about the direction of training. Have a think about your gut feeling or test how The Horse is feeling. There is always multiple paths that will move you forward. Never approach horse training with a Set mind. That is why I prefer Mind Flow.

Two instances come to mind how simply leading a horse will teach or show you something.
Leading Ross' horse, Leo, one day I realised I was constantly clicking on to move faster.....I remembered that when I rode him I was always slowing him down. Leo had probably decided I was a bit 🤪 crazy. It really hit me when I saw it.
The other experience was with our old war horse, Rudy. He seemed to 'match' my steps. So we had this fun game of very slow steps & then quick steps. Which also developed into thinking stop & he would stop. He made me laugh 😃.
Step into your life, work, personal development, relationships, horse training with strength, Energy, purpose & honour. Without being bossy or demanding. But honour the space, people & The Horses around you.
D.A.R.E to grow.

Your Horse doesn't need you to be perfect. They need you to be present.

Perfectionism, procrastination & self-doubt are quite often tied together. The only place you might find 'perfect' is an edited photo on social media. True presence is found in regular practice of the basic horse skills.
It's the same in any creative endeavour. Music & singing require daily practice of the scales.
Growing veggies requires correct depth & placement of seeds, Every single time. Kelly, my FIL, at 90 years old repeats a set of actions DAILY to bring an acre of veggie garden to life. He also sits & quietly reviews his work. I think it is fine to seek excellence, but don't let procrastination steal the moments or growth of Your Horse Quest ✨️

4 years later 📆⏳👣
Farm Life. It ebbs & Flows. It follows the seasons, the moon, the shifting tide of economics etc.

I ditched Mindset for Mind Flow work years ago. Goals & Dreams are important ✨️ But you have to be prepared or changes in circumstances to get to the Goal via a different track or even time frame.
A plan for horse training or farm jobs is Very important but allowing a Flow of thinking will be better.

A Horsewoman moves from intention to Action with quite Courage.

You downloaded LOTS of freebies about horse care, horse riding, horse training etc. Did you actually DO any of the ideas?

You purchased a membership or a SupA training system that was a unique/new/best horse training program ever, did you get past the 'welcome' video? No? Thousands of Horsewomen do that. Ask me how I know? 🤔 🙃😊
Instead of scrolling social media for another horse training take a look at what you already have in your emails.
Pick one pdf & read it.
Then do that exercise this week with your horse.
Find that program you purchased.
Watch module one, take notes.
Then DO that with your horse this week.
Don't rush you or your horse through the work.
Listen to The Horse & yourself.
If you feel like the training went well move onto module two.

Create a simple wall chart & give yourself a Gold Star 🌟
Procrastination & Self-doubt will steal your Gold Stars 🌟 if you don't take the small steps.

Journal prompt for today: What is one small step I could take on My Horse Journey?

The Horse senses your hesitation long before you do- take the breath, take the step 🐎

🐎It's only a moment that stands between moving forward or staying stuck on Your Horse Journey. How many moments are you going to let slide by in your life?
🐎 Don't wait to make another New Year's resolution. They don't really work anyway. Simply start NOW.
Don't wait for Monday, or the 1st of next month, or your birthday, or a particular moon phase, or Some Day.
You get to decide if you take a gentle or bold step. Both work. Simply move & The Horse Energy moves with you 🐎

Procrastination feels like holdings the reins & still not riding forward.

🐎Creating & Living a Horse Life-Story you are proud of is on the other side of a small action that takes you forward into learning & going forward with your horse skills & experiences.

🐎What are you waiting for? Giddy Up

Struggling to move forward with your horse training & riding no matter what you try?
Here's the real reason why.
A lack of Clarity, Confidence & Connection. Also too much mindset.

Real Clarity of What You want to achieve.
Real Confidence in your horse skills.
Real Connection to Yourself. You probably thought I was going to say the usual 'Connection to your horse'. Of course that is important. But you need to know & understand yourself first. This is important because doing anything with horses means working on your own strengths & weaknesses is part of the foundation to a high level of horsemanship. We need to be as physically, mentally & emotionally fit as we possibly can be for The Horse. Some days are a SupA effort to be there for The Horse.
My work on myself led me to practice Mindflow rather than mindset. Motivation & mindset are impossible to keep up 24/7. Especially when 'life' is happening all around us. MindFlow allows space, So That
progress can be made in all areas of our lives. I have found MindFlow plus support allows transformation & the ability to Realign rather than Replay when things don't go to plan or 'life' gets in the way.
Giddy Up.

Let me know what you feel is 'holding' you back from Creating & Living Your Best Horse Life-Story.
Everything is fixable.

🐎I hardly ever do this:
🐎I rarely talk about my 1>1 mentorship. I mostly keep it quite because I only work with a handful of horsewomen at a time; & like most horsewomen I have a lot of hats to wear in my life.
🐎But right now, I have a few spots open to work with me privately for the next 6 months. I have learned to let a few things go.
🐎The Goal is clear: Have you physically, mentally and emotionally fit to Create & Live a Horse Journey You are proud of. We will shift the emotional blocks, overwhelm & doubts SO THAT you can advocate for yourself & The Horse. To be the rider & trainer You want to be. Trust me, it's not a select club.

🐎Because this is such a high-touch experience I'm looking for the right fit.

🐎You are perfect for this if:
You are sick of being told 'just get on the horse '.
You have tried a few horse training methods.
Downloaded many free or paid tips & tricks for horse care, training etc.
You are overwhelmed with options & opinions in the horseworld.
You are thoughtful, committed, empathic, sensitive & probably intuitive.
I won't say motivated because that is an overrated word & mythical state of being.

🐎If that's you, here is what you will get inside this container:
✨️6 Powerful Mind Flow sessions, because simply talking about & going over your issues WON'T fix your issues.
✨️Strategy plus Inner Work because BOTH are needed.
✨️Learn my 6 Week Habit Change system.
✨️Self-Ground Work that suits YOU.
✨️Regular messaging for support & questions.
✨️Short trainings to check out when it suits you.
Plus more.
The investment is $1400 AUS.
If you want in message me Interested Giddy Up & I will send you the details.
I will be selecting a couple of SupA keen horsewomen & it will be first in first served.
The next chapter of Your Horse Life-Story isn't written yet, You hold the pen & the reins.

Do you want to stop the overwhelm with options & opinions in your horse world with ease?
It starts with this one simple shift:
Quickly go over some of the many free & paid things you have saved or downloaded about horses; riding, training, horse care etc. Pick ONE, & ONLY one, then actually study it then implement it.
DM me & let me know how you went.

Struggling to improve your horse riding/training goals no matter what you try? Here's the real reason why.
Your Mind Flow or Mind Shift. I used to try to do 'mind set' on LOTS of things in my life. Especially my Horse Journey. I tried it with fitness, getting organised, healthy eating, personal development etc etc. I learned that 'mind set' doesn't work with me, the weather, other people, horses etc. Why, because life, people, myself, horses are constantly Shifting & Flowing.
What do you see Shifting & Flowing around you?

Hi Gorgeous Horse Fanatics,
We all have busy lives & sometimes our Horse Dreams get forgotten. Remember those New Year 'promises' you make every year over a few drinks?
I'm working on my business model & I am doing market research interviews. Can you help me please?
I'm hoping to speak with 8-10 women with a passion for all things horses
lol :) who-
*have busy lives & Horse Dreams
*want to enter/re-enter the horse world or move on from 'beginner mode' with the horse they have
are wanting to know how to expand their horse knowledge & horse skills
*Want to gain confidence & clarity to move forward.
*are tired of the overwhelm of all the different opinions & options out there
*are sick of being made to feel silly about all their questions
*I'm hoping to ask some simple questions of women who may be a fit for my business. It will involve a short interview via Zoom , 20-30 minutes & in return for your time I would love to offer you a free 30 minute Horse Life-Story coaching session. All sessions are confidential & there is no sales pitch. Please DM me or comment below.
Even if you have bought into the lie that only people from 'horse families' can gain horsemanship; even if you are doubting if you will ever get back into horses: even though you feel you will never get past 'beginner mode' with horses, anything is possible.

Happy to answer questions.

Who doesn't love to chat about horses, & let's face it our friends, family & co-workers aren't SupA interested in the ups and downs of horse life. It's like a permission slip to chat about Your Horse Life-Story without judgement.
I am looking forward to connecting. Please comment below, DM me & share with anyone you know who might be helped with this offer.
Bookings must be before Feb 23 2025
It's all about The Horse xoxo

Grateful for cute distractions today, also pain free after having hip replacement last month. Now to work on strength & correcting the limp.

Panko is slightly addicted to carrots 🥕 🥕🙃😀🐎🐎🐎

What are you grateful for today? Gratitude can bring things into perspective sometimes.
