PERSEVERANCE

How do you persevere?

Do you see results of staying on track, moving forward, making a plan and working a plan?

When we moved onto this land 6 years ago ( almost to the date), we had a lot of work to do! So much that it was overwhelming!

How do you sort through an overwhelmed situation?

For us, we had to write it all down, get it into paper and our of our head. But would it get done without than making a plan? Of course not!
With resources being tight, mostly the 2 of us working and the amount of work to be done, it all needed to be planned out.

We took our list and decided what was most important now and what could wait. Everything got a number of importance.
We took the first 4 important things and broke those down further into doable time and resource frames. From there, we hit the ground and PERSEVERED.
We ran into many challenges that could've kept us from moving forward but we decided that rather than seeing them as walls to stop us, we were choosing to see them as a problem to solve- find a different way to do it or a better location.
Structures were put in movable or reusable so nothing was permanent until we were sure and everything could be re-purposed.

We believe that what this program offers individuals, teams and families is worth PERSEVERING for!

We offer a safe, peaceful platform for learning Life, Social & Leadership skills to become better and more secure in who you are to move forward in life in a positive way with the help of learning from working along side a horse.

CLARITY

What if you aren't understood?
What difference does it make?

Many many years ago.. I don't want to age myself so I'll just leave it at that (😉), I was a hair stylist. Let me tell you that CLARITY was very important if you wanted to walk out with the hairstyle you have in your mind- just ask my sister.

I've always thought it was interesting that 2 people could be on the exact same vacation, doing the exact same things and come back with 2 completely different stories to tell.

When you get more than one mind together, different learning styles, different processing of activities.. does the experience look the same?

Of course not, that's what make us individuals.

Why do we assume we understand each other if we don't clarify?

CLARITY helps us connect, communicate and have an understanding of each other.
CLARITY clears up conflict.
CLARITY encourages you to listen to understand.

Our program of activity with horses working as part of your team from the ground, challenges you to work together with CLARITY.

FORGIVENESS

How long do you carry things with you?

Are you able to FORGIVE and release?

Horses are incredible at FORGIVENESS.
I for one am very grateful for that.
They teach, teach, and teach some more even when we mess up.
They are also amazing at helping us find a path to releasing things we hold on to in our bodies.

DOES FEELING SAFE
GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE?

Do you feel more confident in what you say when you feel like you're in a safe surrounding?

Are you able to try new things with confidence when you feel safe?

Are connections easier to make when you feel like you're with safe people?

I saw a cute story of that this weekend while we were celebrating with a cookout at my daughters.

They have a tiny duckling. I watched it with interest because he marched around their large dogs, the full grown turkey, the fire pit and all of the other barn yard critters, with such confidence.

I wondered.. maybe he just doesn't know how small he is or how large they are but a bit later the turkey made a wrong move.. up to that point, everyone had left the little guy alone.

The turkey had decided to pick him up and the barnyard went crazy for a minute.. at least in that corner.
I saw the turkey drop the duckling and no less than 3 ducks and a chicken came screaming out of the nesting shed making all kinds of noise and going after the turkey.
No wonder that little ducking has so much confidence, he's highly protected and feels safe.

The #1 thing a horse needs to feel is SAFE

AWARENESS:

Horses are highly aware.. why do you think that is?
Could it be because as a prey animal it's very important that they are aware of what's going on around them?

How aware are you?
Are you looking where you're going in life?

What does it mean 'to be GROUNDED?

I looked up the meaning.. because I know the feel but I wanted words to go with it. The definition that I found was ; mentally and emotionally stable, sensible and fully present in the current moment rather than overwhelmed by stress or worries.

Did you know that in our program, the horses want you to be ground and if you aren't, they will help you get there?

Doesn't that sound like a great place to be?

Ever feel that anxious feeling?

I read somewhere.. or heard it in a seminar, that feeling can be viewed as your body getting ready to be it's best self!

Is that right for you?
How empowered do you feel when you've pushed through the anxious feeling to present a task and made it to the other side?

Do you realize that you've made it through 100% of everything at this point? I heard that from Zig Ziglar.. i don't know about you, but I like that thought!

"CONFLICT"

When you read that word, what picture enters your mind?

Do you find conflict in your family, friends, gathering groups and place of business?

Did you know that conflict is not a bad thing?

Beings come together, they begin to communicate, interact and relate and at that point it's not uncommon for conflict to show up when the need to understand the communication arises. As communication continues, conflicts typically disapait.

What about when they don't? What happens when communication stops when conflict steps in?

Is that the point that you agree to disagree? Does understanding the communication continue?

Do you decide how much of the conflict you take or leave? And if that's the case, do you choose to learn from the experience a long the way?

If the effort and engagement of communication is pursued, the outcome is always positive.

Choose to make it a great day for yourself and others.

What kind of image does the word "BUSY" bring to your mind?

Some might be busy filling time with;

Achievements

Experiences

Memories

Faith

Tasks

And let me then ask this..

Do you feel fulfilled?
I need to keep going.. I'm an answer seeker..
Does it bring balance for you?
At what point do you feel like enough?

What would it LOOK like, and FEEL like, to be "busy" being authentic to who you are?

This past week I heard a lot about self care.. that self care puts you in a position to do your best work for others. I can't help but picture the airplane speech about grabbing your oxygen mask first so that you are able to help others.
Did you know that in the wild, leaders of the horse herd take care of themselves first so they are ready to defend their herd? That doesn't mean they leave them to fend for themselves. They assess, make sure they're fed, strong, safe and ready to give their best.
