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 34: Generating Emotions on Purpose

Mama in the Saddle ·

2026/03/19

Do you think that your emotions are based off circumstances, or can you actually control how you might feel in a given situation? In this episode, I discuss how I think we can choose how we feel in given situations, and how that plays out in our lives as moms and horsewomen.I also discuss how negative emotions like humility can have positive side effects and results that I like. I also discuss how to not shove other emotions down, but recognize them, before pressing into the emotion you want. I talk

Episode 33: Passage of Time Meets Dreaming Ahead

2026/03/12

By the time this episode goes live, it will be my birthday! And it's a milestone birthday, which is a neat opportunity to look back on all that has happened, and look ahead into all that could be. It feels a lot like a New Year celebration, when I reflect on the past year, and into the new one. In this episode, I talk about nostalgia and the brevity of life and how to handle those emotions, giving them their proper place, while also celebrating the amazing wonder moments in the past and all the

Episode 32: Happiness As Reward

Mama in the Saddle ·

2026/03/05

Have you ever stopped to consider that encouragement leads to happiness, which affects not only our horsemanship and motherhood, but also our own wellbeing?For our horses, we reward them with showing by scratches, treats or pauses in training that what they are doing is right, and we are pleased with them. They seek our joy. Likewise, children seek our happiness and delight when we are happy with them. Encouragement builds up. But what if I told you that you and I operate on the same level? That joy

Episode 31: Perfection can be the Enemy of the Good

Mama in the Saddle ·

2026/02/27

I don't know about you, but sometimes I like things to be perfect. Left unchecked, I believe that the house needs other be clean, the kids cheerful, things "just so" in order for me to be happy. But the reality is, circumstances don't make me happy. And if I'm always striving for perfection, I miss the wonder and good that is already going on around me. In this episode, I share some personal stories from the last few weeks about how I tried to push for perfection, and came to

Do you ever feel like life is just flying by, and things you want to get done, just seem to fall by the wayside because of the speed of it all?Do you ever feel a momentary sense of joy, but stuff it down because something else draws you and makes you think you need to rush quick to respond?In today's episode, I talk about two phrases I use that help me slow down and savor the moments, and choose happy even when things are busy.

Sometimes, when life gets busy, it can be easy to want to give up on our horse dreams. It feels like relief, at first, to quit. But in today's episode, I talk about how to try again, even when you are tempted to give up.Don't sell your saddle yet, Mama. Keep dreaming. I tell an inspirational story about watching my son use his gift of engineering, and how his determination to keep trying has inspired me to keep trying with my horse dreams and goals.

Episode 27: Boldly Happy

Mama in the Saddle ·

2026/01/30

Do you ever struggle to not only feel, but show, happiness? Perhaps you know you love horses, but you struggle to show that happiness with them, because you are afraid you will make someone uncomfortable by your joy. Or perhaps you are afraid you'll bore them. Perhaps you're hesitant because sometimes happiness feels vulnerable. I have been in those places before, and so this year, I'm deciding to study it. Every year, I like to choose a yearly theme. This year, I have decided to focus

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

Specifically with horses?In this episode, I share a story about how I overcame resistance recently, and how it sneaks up in so many different places in life.

Episode 23: All or Nothing

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 talk about how 15 minutes is golden, and how to use a sticker chart to encourage yourself in

The Wonder of Rest: A Chat with Eryn Lynum

2025/06/27

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. I am not talking about plopping on the couch with your phone to scroll after the kids go to bed, but true rest, the kind God calls us to in His Word. In this episode, I chat with Master Naturalist, teacher, and podcast host, Eryn Lynum, about the beautiful and necessary gift it is to rest. She has recently written a new

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

Have you ever been told, as a mom, "Oh you're so busy!" Or, "You've got your hands full!" Or perhaps you've come to a mom's group, and the topics seem to focus on how hard and chaotic motherhood can be? You come away feeling more drained than encouraged.

In this episode, I talk about something I've been doing to help me stay in the wonder with both my children and my horses, all to the glory of God. 1. Grab your phone's camera. 2. Take pictures of your life, paying special attention to the smallest details. Soap bubbles. Your horse's eyelashes. Your child's giggle. 3.
