Laughlin Performance Riding

By nature, we want to get things done as quickly and efficiently as possible. But, that’s just the thing–quickness doesn’t always lead to efficiency.

I see a lot of trainers, myself included, who have the tendency to try and correct a problem before it happens. Instead of waiting a split second to allow our horses extra time to recognize the signal we are sending, we try to ‘help’ them along by immediately sending a stronger and/or different signal.

When we do this, it can become very difficult for a horse to identify the response we are asking for and distinguish the signals we are sending. In turn, the horse becomes anxious, confused, and frustrated.

As I remind myself of this, I want to remind you of this, too. Slow your hands down, and give your horse a chance to do the right thing. They are smarter than we give them credit for. Allow them the opportunity to show you.

Dear Cowgirl,⠀
⠀
The world doesn’t owe you a thing.⠀
Go out and get what you want. ⠀
⠀
Don’t ask permission. ⠀
Take it.⠀
⠀
Life will not change until you require more & do not settle for less.⠀
⠀
Stop worrying what people will think. ⠀
They will always find something to be upset about, even the blue sky & new day.⠀
⠀
You can choose to simply continue moving forward. ⠀
⠀
Be honest about your wants, needs and goals. Then demand the action from yourself that will make those things possible.⠀
⠀
Life is so very beautiful, if you take it by the reins and use up every minute you are given.💕 ⠀
