Episode 164- Untangling thoughts with help

Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall ·

2022/01/05

I love that I sound like a bit of a mess in this episode. This year I’m setting a goal that is hard to measure and even a bit of a challenge to put into words. I do a lot of journaling but this subject had me a bit stuck which is my clue that I need a little help from a friend. In this episode you’ll hear Suzi help me talk through ‘untangling my brain.’ And joy of all joys…I actually make a connection at the end of the podcast that will echo through the rest of 2022!

Episode 163- A Year End Review

Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall ·

2021/12/29

Do you pause each year to reflect back on the things you did…or didn’t…accomplish? In this conversation my good friend Suzi Vlietstra helps me do just that. As you listen, I hope you reflect and can hear how we are cleaning up our thinking before starting the next. I find that bouncing ideas off a good friend, or listening in to someone doing this, can help me think about things from a new perspective. I hope this conversation does that for you.

I think there can be a magical dance between dreaming and doing. In this podcast I discuss: dreaming and the nuts-and-bolts of training why it looks like some trainers don’t like horses how to make progress when you aren’t sure exactly what you want to do with your horse the idea that all disciplines share the same foundation training

Episode 161: The power of “I don’t know how…”

Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall ·

2021/12/15

The phrase “I don’t know how...” is often said with a sense of defeat but it can also be freeing. ‘I don’t know how…but I’m going for it anyway.’ What if it means you are ready to learn? If you do decide to go for it…you’ll likely experience 'want', as in wanting it. ‘Want’ can be uncomfortable and is often tangled together with disappointment, failure, and self criticism. Have you ever practiced ‘wanting’? I’ll share an example of a way to develop the strength to sit with pure WANT…

Episode 160: Yearly theme instead of goal?

Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall ·

2021/12/08

Choosing a yearly theme is a great way to guide your brain in a new direction. Unlike specific goals, themes are there as a guiding principal. A theme is broad and is often something that will cross several areas of your life. Themes are also more flexible in nature because they are here to increase your awareness, there is no specific end target. If you’re not a fan of goal setting consider trying a yearly theme. If you do like goal setting a yearly theme can help you reach those goals.

What would happen if you got in the habit of surprising yourself with what you are capable of? What if the SIDE EFFECT of your measurable goals…is who you want to become? What if confidence is a byproduct? 1- pick something that excites you and scares you a little 2-decide why you want to do it 3- decide why you haven’t done it yet 4- list as many steps as you can think of now (this won’t be accurate) 5- decide if you want to commit AND…YOU MUST know in your bones if you’re willing to do the work

Episode 158: An inside-out thankfulness assignment

Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall ·

2021/11/24

I see a dance between the words; thankful, grateful and compassion. When you make your ’I’m thankful for…’ list, do you make it on the list? There is a good chance you don’t because many people are worried about feeling vain or narcissistic. What if you could practice thankfulness and self compassion and it improved your relationship with your horse? In this podcast, I discuss thankfulness, self compassion, failure and I share an inside-out thankfulness assignment to increase awareness.

Episode 157: What ‘they’ say…and what I make it mean...

Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall ·

2021/11/17

When someone makes a comment there is; what we hear, what we make it mean and how we can learn from it. A judge wrote, “You got just about every possible point out of this willing, obedient horse who is just not gifted with elasticity. Good training.” Not everyone reacted the same as I did to this. I’ve also had people say things that I DID negatively react to. I share my thoughts on why these comments ‘sting’. The true power in someone else's words comes from our interpretation of them.

2021/11/10

Going ALL IN on a goal contains many learning opportunities. In this podcast, I discuss these three challenges and how I overcame them at the AQHA world show. 1) I was tempted to become overly focused on this one event and loose sight of the big picture. 2) I was tempted to let the results of the show determine my success. 3) I was tempted to loose hope when circumstances were NOT IDEAL. I knew in the end, no matter the outcome, I was going to get what I came for…which was learning.

“The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.”

Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall ·

2021/10/20

Henry Ford summed it up well, ‘Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you are right.” In this podcast I explain why this is so true with our horses. Our thoughts change the way our cues feel to our horses. I share an example where the only thing I changed was my thoughts…and it drastically changed the outcome. If you ever have these thoughts: “I should be better than this by now.” “I’m not good enough.” “I can’t do this.” this episode is for you!

2021/10/13

The main point of life coaching is to bring awareness of how our thoughts are impacting our results. Most riders would willingly consider that their body was impacting their horse. In this episode I discuss the stages that riders go through when increasing their awareness both physically and mentally. I also share two warning signs that you might be blocking your awareness.

Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall ·

2021/10/06

In this season of the podcast I’m discussing life coaching principals and how they apply to working with your horse. Life coaching addresses ’The Rider’s Mind’ which shows up in all quadrants. If I expand my intro I say each week in the podcast take a look at how the riders mind is in each phrase, “I’m here to help you read your horses body language, learn how to interpret the information you get without judgement of yourself or your horse, and learn to adjust your behavior to adjust your horses

2021/09/29

In this podcast, I discuss the difference between ‘finite games’ which involve players, rules and winners and infinite, or never ending games, where the point is to keep playing because the journey is all there is. I share examples of this in the horse world and in everyday life. Then I close by telling you how I can easily identify which I’m playing…so you can try it too.

In this episode, I discuss three situations where it is common for horses to ask questions about the rules. I call these moments ‘Grandma’s rules’ which is my fun way of explaining that horses are always seeking out the most benifitial set of rules to opperate by. I explain where the name came from and how understanding this can improve your view the questions your horse is asking you.

2021/09/08

Increasing a riders awareness of the feelings or emotions that come up during the learning process is extremely beneficial. For most riders, learning to train their own horse means learning new skills and experiencing the feelings that often accompany that like; vulnerable, nervous, disappointed, frightened, uncertain and awkward. In this podcast I explain the role of these uncomfortable emotions and how they can lead to other emotions like focused, determined, strong, excited…and confident.

Today I’m talking about patterns…why I recommend riding patterns and why riders often have resistance to riding patterns. I’ll discuss anticipation in multiple forms, increasing your awareness by getting feedback from your horse and how your focus, or lack of focus, is impacting your ride. I posted two of my favorite training patterns over on my website under the show notes for this episode. They are great examples of patterns that can be useful in improving your communication with your horse.
