Let’s Define Win Angela and Maddie!

The ups, the downs, the not fairs, and the not fairs in your favor.  We are your people to talk about them so buckle up for another episode with Angela and Maddie.

Episode 32: Where we've been, where we're going and another time we lost our tails... This week we talk about where we began, where we are at and the journey to getting here! We reflected on whether or not we think our beginning stages would be proud of us/happy with where we are, and we discussed what we would have done differently. We also discussed the last time we felt we were just living in our horses worlds (who DOESN'T?!) and of course... yet another time we lost our tails.... and all of our supplies! 

This week we talk about perspective and how important it is to keep it. Ever just look at someone and think they just woke up that morning ready to be crowned a world champion? No. Or maybe just assume since they're at a certain point in their live they've purchased a horse that just has a right to be a world champion? We dissect this notion this week and work to bring the perspective pack into the picture. We also discuss how that perspective can change and how it's so important to remember that everyone has different starting points and different abilities right out of the start. We keep is light with talking about social media stalk... I mean scouting and bring back a time honored segment that everyone loves! 

It's the Dirty Thirty!  This week we discuss if it's the trainers job to encourage and build you up or if it is their job to push you to do better and improve and never settle.  Or, are these the same thing?  We toss our two cents out there per usual.  Then we hit the highs and lows of our first show together for the year.  We rehash the miles walked, the late nights, the dashed dreams, and success stories.  Per usual, we cover it all in typical LDW fashion with a sense of realism and a dash of humor.  As always, keep winning and see you next week!

This week we talk how important it is to try new things... you learn, you sometimes back track, but you always grow! Sometimes the road is long and confusing and is filled with more downs than ups... but that leads to incredible growth, new skills, new passions and new goals, which is the most important piece to finding your niche! Then we discuss horse scaries, trailer loading escapades and the ultimate shame...... losing your tail in the pen 😭

Do you ever find yourself caught between cheering yourself on and holding yourself to your standards?  Whether it's coming off a rough go and reminding yourself of how far you have come, or going to a certain show for a confidence boost.  We know we have!  And truthfully, sometimes it feels like we are falsely cheering ourselves, sacrificing our goals and standards, to keep ourselves motivated.  We tackle this, how to keep your goals in mind while cheering yourself on.



We take bets on what items we will forget.  Go big or go home, someone might forget a horse or need to last minute purchase a new outfit.  It's episode 28 and life is great and we coming hot out of the gate.
