I pause to thank You for all the beautiful things here today.This time with my horse, the sounds of the birds, the breeze on my face,the peace You give in this moment.The ability to “show up” and be present for myself and my horse. I am sograteful for all of these things, for Your provision for me and my horses.I pray for my attitude today as I interact with my horse. I pray for patience, and thewillingness to persevere when I don’t understand, or when things don’t go as I hadhoped. I ask that I have an awareness of the gift and privilege that it is to have thishorse, and this opportunity to be with him.I pray that love, joy, peace and patience would be with us as we work together. Also,that gentleness and faithfulness towards each other would become a strong part ofour bond.I ask for understanding and wisdom in this time. As we work and play, Lord, I ask forinsight and a willingness to be kind and gentle, as well as strong and dependable formy horse.I pray today for safety. Physical safety, and also, mental and emotional safety. I ask thatwe can establish and maintain safe boundaries, using self-control and achieve arelaxation that comes from trust in each other… I pray this for me and my horse.I want to ask for the ability to engage with my horse, using positive, loving, kind, trust-worthy and fun energy that he understands, and which provides clarity for him. I askthat I be present, aware and attentive.That I would be in a state of mind and heart that promotes safety, comfort, trust, andconnection.And lastly, Lord, I ask that You help me take these horse lessons and turn them intolife lessons.Help me to extend the same levels of love and patience to others, as I extend to myhorses. Help me to relax, and tune in to those around me,growing me into who You want me to be.For Your honor and glory, I pray.Written by my dear friend, Gayelynn OylerA Horse Girl’s PrayerExtraordinary Horsemanship™©2023 HorseGirl.me all rights reserved
©2023 HorseGirl.meFrederic’ Pignon“Learn how to be, Before how to do.”Horses are the ultimate personal development tool.They stretch us to become are best.And to show up as our best... presence is required.Presence is more than being “present” in a body.I love this quote from Amy Cuddy that defines this for us…“Presence stems from believing and trusting your story.Your feelings, beliefs, values and abilities.…Presence isn’t about pretending you are competent; it’s about believing in and revealing the abilities you truly have.It’s about shedding whatever is blocking you from expressing who you are.It’s about tricking yourself into accepting that you are indeed capable.Sometimes you have to get out of the way of yourself so you can be yourself.”Amy Cuddy Presence: Bringing Your BOLDEST SELF to your BIGGEST CHALLENGESExtraordinaryHorsemanshipPrinciples & Ideas
This Journal talks a lot about the “doing” part of horses,but first and foremost rememberit is about a way of “BEING”Your horse needs YOU(the real you) to show up with presence, intention,understanding, thought planning, patience, kindness,friendship, consistency, time and focus.If you can’t do it for yourself.Do it for her/him.©2023 HorseGirl.me all rights reserved“Remember how to show upand trust yourself again.”
There as many ways to train a horse as there are colors shapes & sizes…Extraordinary Horsemanship™©2023 HorseGirl.me all rights reserved“The Horse Training Journal” offers a plethora of ideas to keep in yourtraining arsenal for future reference.These ideas provide a structured path to follow and give you theopportunity to test and track what works best for you and your horse.Using this tool will motivate and empower you to keep the promises youmake to yourself and eliminate anything that hinders your progress.As you begin to develop consistency in your training, your level ofcompetence and capability will improve, and you will steadily progressthrough difficult situations.Before you know it, you will one day awaken with newfound confidence.Make the decision right now to believe in yourself and trust the journeyyou're on.Define who you want to become and what you're aiming to achieve.Refine your beliefs and stay focused on your goals.Embrace imperfection and have faith in your abilities because yourhorse will respond to your energy and doubt will hold both of youback.

Extraordinary Horsemanship™©2023 HorseGirl.me all rights reservedIdeas for your daily pre-ride groundwork routine1. Give your horse a chance to release excess energy2. Test your whoa on the ground (a horse disconnected on the ground=a horse disconnected in the saddle)3. Play a game of “Simple Simon Says” to test your connection4. Do a few leading exercises to subtly establish yourself as the “connected leader”5. Test your horse’s body comfort by asking him/her to move away from pressure willfully…note body signals of disrespect or unwillingness…and make a mental note what you will need to chip away at6. Create several confidence building exercises (a new look at desensitizing- to check in on your horse’s connection one more time)Remember to practice awareness, presenceand listen to your horse asa teacher & coach without judgement3 Keys To Excel In Your Groundwork Routine1. Understand the exercise and its purpose2. Find within yourself the balance between boldness and softness3. Know there is more. There is always deeper level of connection &quality of the maneuver Both you and your horse are capable of more than you think.Let yourself SHINE!

“It's just as easy to put forth the effort to win as it is to waller out there all day on your horse and go and get your butt handed to you at the horse show...So, winning is not that much more time consuming than just riding, it just requires a lot more thought process, dedication and program to become a winner."Cleve Wells25 Time World Champion TrainerThe Basics of WinningThe Horse Training Channel.comIn other words, if you are putting forth the effortto work with your horse, don’t “waller” without direction,you might as well make every ride count towards progress…even if it’s just as “small” as intentionally trusting each other,remember…”everything matters”…”everything counts”…©2022 HorseGirl.meDesign your own plan or “program”to bring more intention & purposeto your time with your horse(and your life).You don’t have to show to win,but if you are going to get anywhere,in life or with horses…you need a plan

Stick with it.©2023 HorseGirl.me"The spot that we are at right here, for me personally in the training, this is the hardest spot.Do you ride with the draw reins? Do you ride with the bridle?Do you ride with spurs? No spurs?I think when you get right here in this spot it's just like I said before about balancing a bike,about the only way you are going to learn it is to go in there and do it.So if you try something on a horse, if you will stick with it for let's say a week or two weeks.The big problem you get into is you say, "I'll try this today, I'll try the draw reins and the sidepass today, like Shane said."And by the end of that ride you go, "Well you know what that wasn't working" so the next dayyou come out and you put the bridle on it that Rusty's got and you try Rusty's way.You ride for a day and you go well "that really wasn't working that good so I'll go back to thesidepull and do what Cleve did"All 3 of the ways that you want to do it are fine, but at least give that horse 7-10 days to do it.And if that 7-10 days if you'll stick with it and have faith in what you are doing it's probablygoing to work out.And if you can't have faith in what you are doing, the faith and theintegrity to stay with it for a week, THEN DON'T DO IT.If a part of you thinks it's wrong, I am not going to do this for a week,then don't do it!But if you try something, as long as you go to it with compassion andintegrity you are going to be ok.You are going to work your way through it.I ride my way into problems and I ride my way out, I have my whole life.But what I found is, if I stay with it for 7 days, I will come out of it.And it's not because I have some God given talent, it's because if I do it…I have faith that it is going to work and I give it 7 days. I give it 7 days”Shane DowdyChampion Horse Traineras told to TheHorseTrainingChannel.com.
