The Art of Keeping the Promises You Make to Yourself Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

As we enter into a new year, I wanted to dedicate an episode to the topic of goal setting. But, this isn't your typical episode about goal setting―it's what to focus on instead. Sometimes, achieving more doesn't mean setting higher goals; it means keeping the promises you make to yourself. Tune in to hear more about how I've changed my approach to goal setting over the past 10 years and how this approach has allowed me to get more enjoyment out of my life and business.

The Importance of Conditioning Dec 12, 2023

Show notes

Conditioning, both physically and mentally, is one of the most pivotal things we can do to improve our chances of being successful inside the arena. Success is where preparation and opportunity meet, and conditioning our horses and ourselves is part of this preparation process. If we are missing the conditioning piece, we will not be fully prepared to take advantage of the opportunity when it presents itself. In this episode, I’m sharing more about the importance of conditioning and how being disciplined in this area can create huge changes in your performance.

Re-establishing Speed in a "Ratey" Horse Nov 28, 2023
