Letting Courage Take The Lead in 2026

Courage isn’t always loud. It doesn’t always look like galloping boldly across a field or throwing caution to the wind. Sometimes courage is the quiet breath you take when your protective part whispers that it’s safer to stay small, to hold back, to not try today. Courage is choosing the next ...

Happy New Year! May you move forward with courage towards what brings you joy and fulfillment in 2026!

Brought to you by The Plaidcast In the chaos of the warm-up ring, trainer and “R” judge Geoff Case looks for one thing above all else—not the flashiest rider, not the biggest stride, but the calmest mind. “The best riders don’t look like they’re doing more,” he said. “They look like ...

Another exciting update from my client, Kate!
"I wanted to share a quick update, and a very heartfelt thank you!
We had an incredible experience at the NSBA World Show this August. Perry and I ended up as unanimous winners in both the Hunter Under Saddle and the Equitation classes! I’ve attached the win photo, and honestly, I’m still a little in shock.

What stands out most, though, wasn’t the placings. The best moment came at the end of my Hunter Under Saddle class, trotting down the rail with a smile on my face, feeling totally at peace with how we rode. For the first time, I wasn’t focused on the outcome. I just knew I had a great ride, and that was enough. That mindset shift, trusting myself (and my horse), being present, letting go of the pressure, is something your program helped me build.

I’ve come such a long way in how I manage my mental health around showing. Instead of anxiety and second-guessing, I felt prepared and grounded. I truly believe that working with you made this kind of experience possible. So, thank you, not just for helping me become a better rider, but a more resilient and confident person, too."

I'm smiling from ear to ear over here...this is what it's all about! Connection to [and trust in] your self, your horse, and the process! Congrats Kate!

Client shout out! So proud of my client, Jill A, for her dedication to maintaining a solution-focused mindset and celebrating every aspect of success in her rides. While she missed getting Reserve by .5 of a point (permission to be disappointed!) she shared it was "a great week overall". Every class improved as she acknowledged the areas that needed her energy, stayed organized, and stayed committed to her focus points (allow with her hands, hug to the base, keep the pace). She even ended up in 2nd place in the Classic out of 32 horses! This pair has such a promising future! 🌟
