Riding From the Inside Out - Listening To Our Horses & Ourselves – Details, episodes & analysis

Today I share what Ranch Kitty, a tiny little cat that hangs around our property, unexpectedly taught me about my dominant, 17 hand, off track Thoroughbred. And how it ties into what I've learned and I'm still learning about listening to my horses and myself.

Today I kick off Season 2 by discussing my commitment to listening to my horses and myself as an ongoing practice. I share why I changed the subtitle of this podcast to reflect that, how my commitment to listening to myself and my horses has benefitted me in the past, and how I know it will serve me and them moving forward.

Today I talk about the deeper benefits of being centered and present in our interactions with our horses. I discuss going beyond just focusing our energy and attention on our horses as we ride and work with them. I discuss how by going to an even more consciously aware place within ourselves, we can partner with our horses in a state of flow. And that this state of flow allows the true soul and spirit of ourselves and our horses to work in tandem and true partnership.

Today I’m talking about our “shoulds.” When we say or think: I should do this, or I should do that in relation to our horses or our riding.

I share what I’ve come to learn about our “shoulds” and what they can do to our energy, as well as to our horses.

Are you returning to riding after a longish period away? Perhaps with an older body, or a different body from having kids or being at a different fitness level? Or maybe you’ve had an injury since your previous riding days? Or you simply have a different take on life these days due to the passing of time and the accumulation of wisdom.

If any of those situations describe you, then this episode is for you. Because today I talk all about my experience of returning to riding with all of the above. Being older, having had kids, having had a back injury, and having had a lot of life experiences in my time away that changed my overall perspective on things.

I talk in this episode about what my experience of returning to riding was like. And I’m sharing what I learned along my way that I wish someone had told me.

Today I talk about how to become more present in your riding and your horse interactions when it's hard enough just to get to the barn. When it's challenging managing your regular life to-do list and then trying to be fully focused for your horse and not feel stressed or distracted.

I discuss things that can help us be more present, and I share stories from my own personal journey. . . .

Today I talk about things that we think we just “can’t do” related to our horses and horse girl lives. Things that we often don’t even question. That we rule out as impossible, by default. And how we can be completely unconscious or unaware that we’re even doing this.

I share some realizations I had about this lately. I discuss what I discovered about how I got into this disempowering state and how I actually could do things I originally thought were impossible. And you can too.

Tune into this episode as I dig deep into ways in which we can disempower our own selves, in ways we don’t even realize. And what we can do to change this self-defeating practice.
