I am… I feel… My… How we speak has a whole lot more impact on us than it does on anyone else. The works you use hold an energy and that energy can encompass our whole being. Telling yourself you are anxious locks it in. We can get caught up in the reactions that comes of saying it. We become that emotion. Why am I feeling anxious creates a whole different outcome. Turning the feeling into a question activates curiosity. That’s a different side of the brain. This then allows us to focus on a solution. That’s the start of taking control and lifting the weigh of emotions off us.

It’s the weekend and time to relax and enjoy: what’s your plan for relaxation. Me… love trail riding and getting the camp oven on. The horses seem more relaxed when I am

This morning in a lesson I had a little realisation. Something that I learned from a great horsewomen years ago came flooding back with one of those ‘holy shit’ realisation feelings….how did I not get that back then? Why has it taken so long??? Truth comes to you when you are ready to FEEL it! It comes with fluidity - like water down a stream it flows perfectly around all obstacles and gets to where it needs to go. But if there are barriers too big it simply needs time and more learning: That’s why we can never stop learning

Can you please do a video/lesson on how to start training the ground tie?

There’s one thing that generally stays strong even if we are dealing with self talk and fear. The passion for our horses is the one thing that keeps us coming back and it can be said for many that it even overrides sanity 😂 But passion comes from within. It’s always there niggling away at us. Motivation on the other hand is most often created from an outside force, and it can wain. It’s fine to lose motivation. It comes back when we find something that inspires us. But passion never leaves.
