What does it take to be a good horse woman?

One of the biggest mistakes horse woman make is thinking that they aren't good enough because they can't do xyz yet.

Most horse women will think things like, "when I can canter through an open field I'll be good enough" or "when I can jump I will be good enough".

Or they might be thinking "I can't navigate this gate obstacle so I'm not a good enough horse woman" or "I can't get my horse to do xyz".

And I'm here to let you know that if your career as a horse woman is a checklist of all the things you can make your horse do, you will never feel good enough and you have missed the point.

Being a good horse women is being someone your horse feels safe to relax with, someone your horse seeks for direction, someone who comfortably and confidently supports their horse as they navigate challenges, someone who takes the time to ensure they are clearly setting up their communication skills with their horse so that their horse confidently knows what they want. Someone who doesn't put their personal goals ahead of the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of their horse. Someone who is ok with taking the pressure off and reflecting when things aren't going well so that they can make a plan for their horse and try again in a way that sets their horse up for success.
