Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall

Frustration is an emotion that many riders report they feel. In this episode, Kathy and JoAnn share their personal journeys, which include leaving every ride feeling fulfilled and happy. Listen for the challenges AND for how they navigated their way to the break thoughts. Notice the determination exhibited when learning to self evaluate, and the mindfulness they used in creating their own structure for training at home. At one point this question is asked, ‘So now if she anticipates something, what’s your reaction to it?” Listen for the answer…it's brilliant!
