🎬 A little Mustang memory (and a Netflix recommendation)

🔥

🐎 Hey all,

recently, a student asked me about the time I participated in the very first Mustang Makeover in Europe (2017) - and it brought back a lot of memories.

At the time, I was honestly quite apprehensive to participate.

But after much thought and research and learning the 'why' for the need for such a competition, I was sold.

It shaped my horsemanship in ways I still talk about today. I’ve given talks and presentations on the experience over the years and still have all the materials.

👉 You know what, if there’s enough interest, I’d be more than happy to do the presentation over a webinar here in the community once I’ve finished building the new Skool classroom.

In the meantime, if you’re looking for something meaningful to watch, I can recommend:

For the Love of the Mustang on Netflix.

💛 From wild → to mild → to tame → to a groundwork → liberty → and riding partner in 90 days.

My promise to her from the start and is what earned me respect on social media compared to the other trainers, was that the work/training and play was done on her timeline.

And not that it matters and too be honest I left the show ground not even knowing until later, but we placed 6th out of 26. I honestly did not care about what a judge thought, I cared about what she thought.

I’m not the main star of course, but you’ll spot bits of me, especially during the lottery, where I was fortunate enough to meet and train the beautiful River. Big 'ole smile across my much younger self's face...lol!

If you watch it, I’d love to know what stood out for you and whether you’d enjoy a deeper dive into that experience here?

Love Zoë🐴✨🫶
