PODCAST

Mama in the Saddle

Elizabeth Do Carmo

One piece of the equestrian world where there is a surprising lack of information is for the horse crazy mom, a woman who wants to pursue her horse goals and dreams while being a mama. This podcast is for equestrian moms with the goal of encouraging them that it is not only possible but important to pursue our horse goals as mothers, and that our children can be the wind beneath our wings as we do it.

Episode 26: Making Mistakes in the Right Direction

Mama in the Saddle ·

2025/11/21

As a mom, do you tend to beat yourself up? Do you tend to feel as though you are not doing anything right, no matter how hard you try? In this episode, I tell two different stories during lessons from two very different trainers, and how one only focused on the mistakes, the other focused only on what was going well, using the mistakes as bonuses in the right direction.I discuss how these stories can illustrate what goes on often in a mom's mind, and how we can take our thoughts captive, to

Mama in the Saddle ·

2025/11/12

I got a lot of wonderful feedback on the last episode having to do with Resistance, and so I decided to do a follow up episode outlining my daily routine, and how I've found little hacks to beat resistance, especially with winter coming and the cold weather. I outline how I get up early and get to the barn (and how I am a much better mom because of it), how I motivate myself with my sticker chart, how to do small reps with your horse that build up into bigger goals (and how to celebrate each

2025/10/07

Do you ever have an all or nothing mentality? Where if you can't do something 100%, then you might choose to not do it at all? I know I do. This has recently been brought to my attention, and it's fascinating how it applies to both our horsemanship and motherhood. In this episode, I talk about how that "all or nothing" mentality has affected me, and what I've done to help overcome it.

I have heard that one of the missing pieces in our lives today (whether with our children, our horses, our training schedules, work, etc.), is the recognition and need for rest.

2025/05/16

Have you ever stopped to be amazed at the wonder it is that we get to work with horses? And that they are willing to be trained to do such amazing things for us? I train my horse in a reward based way, and so when I work with him, I "mark" the maneuver I want by releasing cues, or a treat, lots of scratches in his favorite places, or a bit of everything. It is amazing how willing he is to repeat the same maneuver for more encouragement and reward!In this episode, I talk about how
