It’s a brand new year 🎁
Today it’s the start of a change of pace for me. I plan on doing things differently this year. It’s a time to change and what better day to start. So here on day one I will share with you the way I incorporate change. It’s a little woo woo so if you’re not into being open this isn’t the space for you. Being vulnerable here so bear with me, it’s a hard thing to put into words, and I’m sure some things will be lost in translation, but here goes…. Who am I - the biggest question of all. And a simple one to answer from a space of soul. But let’s turn up the heat and ask it from egos perspective. So in my first session of the year I got a huge, and I mean huge, awakening. Ego - I am of service (ok that’s not a bad thing), below others so I must give (now that’s not so nice) and as a giver I don’t deserve to receive (ok now that’ really feels bad). Let’s look at the energy behind receiving…. And I really start to squirm - literally pulling away and trying to leave - I am so repelled by the thought of receiving (now we ask why and when this became my vibration) It’s in my throat and upper chest, like a weight, it’s thick and heavy and very, very negative. It hasn’t always been there, it’s new in this lifetime. It’s a choice (by soul??) yes by soul. (A punishment?) no an experience. (The lesson?) With wealth we give frivolously, without thought for how the receiver feels. We give to make ourselves feel good, better even, and to help without attachment. (Please remember this is my personal experience in a past life, not the truth) I’ll clarify here, my past life feels like I’m in a castle or some sort of noble place and I am from family generational money. So here (now) I have to give thru service (not wealth) and the negativity in receiving forces me to continue to give without receiving !!!! (Those who know me know this to be true. And know that I really struggle to receive) So to change this vibration I need a truth, and it’s only a truth for me (so it may not be for you) and it’s often hard to find. So I have to ask questions here till I feel a shift. That shift only comes when you have a realisation of a belief that doesn’t serve you ….

It’s time for some mind games!
I am so happy to see so many awesome trainers available to horse lover these days. For so many years when I started my horsemanship journey it was really hard to find a trainer. Now we have so much access it’s almost hard to decide! That’s a great thing for the horse world. So with that in mind (pun intended) I’m moving more into the mindset space, as I see more than ever the lack of confidence in students at clinics and competitions. Helping you overcome fear and start to enjoy your horses again is my goal. There is nothing better for me than seeing girls smile and feel proud of achievements with their horse, so this new category is here to help with that. Welcome to Cowgirls Mindset. There is a full training course available if you want it - the most comprehensive mind shift you’ll ever experience, but this page is free and I’ll be sharing gold here for you. Let’s get this journey started !!

Eliza this is just wonderful
Consistency has more than 1 effect
Consistency can sometimes be hard for us. Working, kids, chores and all the stuff in between. But one thing will help us with our horses more than anything else… Using patterns to train means that each time we do manage to find time with our horses, we are very consistent in what we do. Patterns help a horse understand, they help us keep focus, it makes it easy to plan a session and when we start to get results it motivates us! What pattern are you focussed on atm ? #bettertogetherhorsemanship
