Here is how I would describe the ideal rider and horse experience at a horse show: Ideally, the rider is focus on: -what's happening with the horse (the horse's experience) - the task at hand (test, obstacle, etc.) - what the rider needs to adjust or change or continue doing to support the horse and complete the task Ideally, the horse is focused on the rider with a soft awareness of surroundings. THE CHALLENGE is learning to navigate multiple areas of focus, seemingly at the same time. Showing

A listener calls in and explains that she has previously enjoyed showing, and would like to show again…but a few thing have changed. She is older, and now lives in an area where she doesn’t know as many people. She says, “The fear that is preventing me from showing my horse is the fear of getting hurt or getting someone else hurt.” In this episode I outline the importance if understanding that fear can be pointing towards an unwanted (negative) emotion, or. fear can pointing towards danger, or both

In this episode, I discuss the difference between the mentality of showing versus training. These are complementary systems when you understand the difference between them. Showing is polishing. Showing is taking a test. Showing is an external evaluation. The judge’s job is to evaluate against a standard. Training is communicating. Training is teaching, clarifying, adjusting, and understanding how to break things into smaller parts to create success. Showing offers many benefits that complement

Are you confused about how to make your dream into a goal? If you are, you are not alone. This is especially common with riders who have relationship type goals. _To form the bond I have always dreamed of. _I dream of having a connection with him…. _To do anything on my horse with more confidence, and just have fun_ Relationship isn’t WHAT you do…its how you handle the questions or challenge that come up.

If you’re saying to yourself, “That was too much. I need to cut back this year.” This podcast is for you. There are times when adjusting your goals is in your best interest. But before you decide if you will repeat a goal or change it, remember to factor in what HAS changed…which is you. YOU are not the same person you were a year ago. If you repeat the same goal, you will not be on the same journey…even though you are heading to the same destination. At the beginning of last year, you didn’t

Self-doubt is often born out of a low-value cycle. “I could have done better.” sound so innocent. But what it really begins a little spiral of self-doubt. The next time you have to make a decison, a part of you will feel doubt, because you KNOW you’ll be judging yourself in the future. Your treatment of yourself during a review, greatly impacts your willingness to participate. It is possible to look at your past actions and learn from them without judging yourself for making the choice. It is

Episode 213: ‘How greed’ and your success pattern

Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall ·

2022/12/14

When a rider sets a goal or begins to struggle, they are often tempted to heavily focus on the ‘how.’ This often appears as a heavy focus on the horse's body or the rider's body. The real ‘how’ of reaching a goal or finding your path through a current struggle is a combination of the things you do, and the way you think. Riders who focus on the action steps only begin to fall into ‘how greed’ and are even more likely to ignore the more subtle emotions that are ‘coloring’ the riding session. ‘How

In this podcast, I explain how it is possible to teach a horse to offer desirable responses. I describe it as having a ‘conversation’ with a horse. I discuss the theory AND I give actual riding examples, including a link to a video example. Inside a conversation, there are ‘gaps’ or spaces left for the other in the conversation to reply. What your horse offers in these gaps tells you what he is thinking. I explain how the ‘gap’ changes as the horse’s advance in training, and what to do if the horse

2022/11/30

In this episode, I discuss the difference in the energy of starting something new, versus re-starting something after your plans were interrupted. New starts often come with an excited type of energy. Re-starting is an entirely different skill set. It requires you to use a different energy and a different way of thinking. I explain how it is possible to use the longing or desire that I felt during the interruption, to fuel me when I’m restarting. Long-term plans will likely be interrupted.

Have you heard the statement, “There are no stupid questions.” It's a common saying because it's a common problem. Students fear asking a question because they would rather not appear stupid. On the flip side, teachers also have the challenge of explaining things clearly, without reacting to the idea that a student might misinterpret this. It is worth looking at both of these scenarios because it is very likely that you will find yourself in both roles: student and teacher. As the teacher, do

2022/11/09

Reflection is different from remembering. Reflecting is looking back at experiences and making sense of them from your current point of view. It is the intention of learning from the past that makes it reflecting. One challenge people face is looking back without judging themselves for the choices they made. When I ask, “What could I have done differently?” it is intended to reveal the multitude of choices I had…so I can understand why I chose the one that I did. In this sense, the question isn’t

Or imagine committing to training your horse…and having the side effect of losing 20 pounds as a byproduct. Some concepts, like doing ’thought work’ or ‘mindset work’ can seem very vague if talked about in general terms.

In this episode, I share an example of a moment when I needed to re-evaluate my plan for the day.

You have two choices when riding; plan your transitions or ride reacting to what is happening. Planning your transitions when riding involves the mental transition as well as the physical transition. Mental transition: “I will begin there” Physical transition: change of gait, change of bend, etc. Planning may sound tedious or boring, but the benefits include: planning increases your awareness of your habits planning increases your awareness of your horse's habits planning will smooth out your
