This episode is very personal as I share some of the troubles I’ve had with my own body image. I discuss the limiting beliefs and stories that we may have around weight. I also talk about whether or not weight really affects our horses as much as we think it does or if we’re just using weight to confirm our own lack of enoughness.

I may have had a fangirl moment when Leslie Kinsel replied to one of my newsletter emails. My email was about the concerns I have with the barrel racing industry and how it can be hard to watch the lack of horsemanship. Leslie offered to help, so I took her up on that offer and she’s here to help by sharing her wisdom.

It’s like we vow to never quit on a horse, but what if quitting is sometimes the right answer? What if we called it surrender? Would that make you feel better about not following through with a horse? Maybe you’re not the right person for this horse. Maybe this horse is not the right horse for you. In this episode, I talk about figuring out when it’s time to throw in the towel and when you should continue to grind it out with a horse.

Mental toughness is really about being vulnerable and not really about being tough at all. You might have the tendency to think you need to cowgirl up, grind it out and be tough to do the things that feel challenging for you, but I think it’s more about being brave enough to be vulnerable.

Partnership is not imperative to win, but if you love horses, partnership is the icing on the cake. Partnership allows you to take it to the next level and compete with connection and synergy. You’ll get the most out of your horse when they feel a connection with you.
