Horse Girls On a Budget - Creative Ways of Pursuing Our Passion & Connection With Horses

Today I talk about how horses are for those who love them, plain and simple. How the wellbeing of our horses has nothing to do with having unlimited funds or an expensive saddle or a fancy stable. How horses simply ask for our loving care and a willingness to listen to what matters to them. As part of this I discuss how maybe it’s time to stand up and share how our horses enrich our lives just for being horses. And how in doing so we can all start to see the value horses offer just in being what they already are. . . . ENJOY THE SHOW? Subscribe and share this episode with others.

Today I’m talking about the role that bravery plays in our lives as horse girls on a budget – and so much more. I kick off this episode by sharing how I created this show for people like myself who are deeply passionate about horses. How for us, horses are part of our well-being, our sanity — our heart and our soul. And so we feel a deep and often inexplicable desire and need to have horses in our lives. And I explain that I use the term “budget” to mean a kind of restriction – money, time, or even age – that can affect our ability to pursue our passion for horses. In the second part of the show I talk about the role that bravery plays in our experiences as horse girls on a budget. How we can experience amazing or even “miraculous” or “impossible” outcomes, but that this path requires us to choose to practice bravery. I talk about how to do this, and I share my experiences of living in this way. This episode is packed with a lot in it – so tune in to hear all of the details. . . . ENJOY THE SHOW?

Today I'm talking about how we horse girls who are on a budget can do hard things. I share how this was something I learned on as a kid; how I ended up learning to believe in my ability to do hard things because I had no other choice. I talk about how we have the power in us, the energy and the capability of doing things that are "hard." I go on to talk about how I've come to learn that what we perceive as "hard" is often tied into our expectations and what we've been told by others. I share what I've come to learn about my own expectations, and listening to myself, and how understanding both has helped me do all kinds of things and they often don't have to be that hard at all. I talk about what I've learned about doing hard things - and how they often don't have to be so very hard at all. . . . ENJOY THE SHOW? Subscribe and share this episode with others.
