2022/10/12

When you work with your horse, you look at his body to understand his full experience. You probably notice his physical responses to your cues, as well as physical clues to his emotional state. Have you stopped to consider that your horse is doing the same thing? Just as your horse's emotional state is reflected in his body, YOUR emotional state is reflected in your body, too. Rider’s tend to focus on physical cues they give the horse, for example, the application of the rein, leg, or seat aids

I recorded this audio while riding Willow bridleless; day 2. My point: I didn’t set out to ride Willow bridleless, as in, the thought was NOWHERE in my mind. Yet, we arrived here. Looking back at our journey, you could say we took many detours…or you could say that I consistently took the next most obvious step. Consider what would happen if you took these two steps, over and over and over again: 1- remember why you are doing this. What was your dream-goal? 2-take committed action. Sometimes the

2022/09/07

The trickiest concept of them all…If the horse gives the ‘incorrect’ answer…it doesn’t necessarily mean you taught the lesson wrong. This one can make you crazy… Or it can make you micromanage… Or it can tempt you to force things to happen… The challenge is that in teaching the horse…we are always getting feedback from them, but if they give the ‘incorrect’ answer…it doesn’t necessarily mean you taught the lesson wrong.

What stands in the way of reaching your dream? The ability to hold belief for the amount of time it takes to achieve it. But… If it's as simple as believing…why don’t we just believe? There are many hidden benefits to NOT believing. It conserves energy, allows you to stay where you are, and lets you experience less of the uncomfortable emotions that often come with trying new things. But… What if you ARE capable? What if you can do it if you just keep going? Learning to hold space for belief is a

2022/08/17

The difference between testing, training, and micromanaging is TIMING. If you are not sure of the difference in timing there, is a much higher chance that you will be frequently ‘correcting’ mistakes, or you’ll find yourself trying to prevent mistakes. There is a way to train your horse that feels like guiding instead of ‘correcting’. In this podcast, I share how you can set your horse up for success, stop micromanaging and ‘test’ when you are confident the horse knows the answer.

Have you every considered asking more of your horse and thought, “I’m afraid my horse might stop meeting me at the gate.” Or maybe you took a lesson or tried a new technique and the next day when you went out you thought, “I’m surprised my horse still met me at the gate.” If you have ever had a thought along this line, it’s time to take a more in-depth look at where this is coming from. In this podcast, I outline three places these thought commonly stem from. I also explain the stage of learning

Episode 194: Which comes first; the head or the body?

Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall ·

2022/08/03

Everything that creates safety or leads to advancing requires an ability to clearly communicate to the horse's body. Yet, the system of communication changes as the horse's understanding grows. Often the horse is first taught to turn from direct rein pressure…but many riders ideally want to steer with a neck rein or their body. How is this transition possible? It is possible when the horse realizes that all the cues that are given are communicating with the body. In this podcast, I share two ways

I could try to dress it up with a better name but instead I’ll share with you: What the messy middle is. The #1 symptom when people try to skip it. And why it really isn’t as messy as it seems.

In this episode, I outline three examples where I often see riders using ‘low’ energy to try to influence their horse. In each example, I share what I see and the challenges that often come from this method. What do you believe about low energy? Is low energy better than high energy? Does the idea of using strong or powerful energy around your horse seem: wrong, unnecessary, or even bad? What If I said that the ability to have a strong, powerful energy around your horse would actually make your

It is however a higher level idea that will require you to do some work. In this podcast, I share a story to illustrate how a hidden thought showed up for one young lady and how we uncovered it.

When I say that I ride the same pattern over and over again in training, the most common question is, “Doesn’t the horse memorize the pattern?” In this podcast, I explain: the reasons I teach with simple patterns how using the same pattern with different techniques can help you understand how the technique influences the horse why switching patterns when horses anticipate the pattern actually robs you of a great training opportunity. There are three stages that horses and riders go through if

2022/06/22

Are you willing to be out of sync with your horse to make progress? In this podcast, I talk about the idea of moving faster or slower than your horse as a concept that exists both physically, and mentally. When physically riding a horse, it makes sense that you could be ’ahead’ of the horse's motion, ‘with’ the horse's motion, or ‘behind’ the horse's motion. When riders learn how to ride, they are taught to move with the horse at all times. What if the next level of learning happens when you aim

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just read a book or see a demonstration once…and just do the new thing with ease? The reality is often quite different. I would even go as far as saying that the process is backward from what we desire. Take the example of changing a current habit, where you release the rein, to a new habit…a slightly different release point. First, you must gain awareness of the new release point. Maybe an instructor or a video suggests this change. When you go out to practice…you

This podcast was recorded while I was on a long, ‘non’ specific ride. I categorize riding sessions into four different types to increase my awareness and effectiveness. I often teach students how to do short, very specific rides. You’ll hear why in the podcast. This could be a pep talk for how to ride for time and effectiveness…AND it could also be considered ‘permission’ to do long, nonspecific rides for enjoyment.

Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall ·

2022/06/01

Self-concept is how you perceive your behaviors and abilities. It affects your motivation, attitude, and behavior. It is possible that your self concept is slowing you down more than your technical skills. Signs your self concept might need an upgrade: You have trouble staying motivated to work with your horse. When you do work with your horse, you see mostly what isn’t working. When you do have success, you quickly have thoughts like ‘this is a fluke’, or ‘I won’t be able to do it again.’
