Description

In the Riding From the Inside Out Podcast I talk about learning how to listen to our horses and ourselves. Learning how to engage in the practice of doing so. Because there are so many benefits that we can experience as a result.

This is something that I have learned over and over again, and that has benefitted me because of a desire to connect more deeply with my horses and myself. In this podcast I talk about how I’ve learned to do this, how I’m learning to do it as an ongoing practice, and how I believe this is something we all can do.

So join me, Michelle Waldo, in this journey of listening to our horses and ourselves.

In today’s show I’m talking about what our riding coach, instructor, or trainer can’t teach us, that our own inner self can. As part of this I talk about what I’ve come to realize that teaching really is, the role others can play in teaching us things, our role in listening to our own inner self, and so much more. I dig into a lot in this episode so tune in to hear all of the details. . . . ENJOY THE SHOW? Subscribe to not miss any episodes of the Riding From the Inside Out Podcast.

Today I'm talking about how our horses can help us get out of comfort zones that aren't serving us. I discuss what I mean by a comfort zone that isn't serving us. And I talk about how our horses can be an intrinsic motivator to move us out of that comfort zone, and how our own inner self can guide us in understanding this.   As part of this episode I share an experience I had with this today while feeding my horses. How what started as a seemingly mundane daily activity turned into a wonderful experience of magic and connection with all three of my horses. And I talk about how you can open yourself up to experiences like this as well. Tune in to hear the details. . . . ENJOY THE SHOW?

In today's follow-up to Ep. 34, I continue discussing the question: are you giving your power away to someone in the horse world. I talk more about what I believe our power is, how to tell if we're giving it away in our horse-related lives, and how we can stop engaging in this practice and begin empowering ourselves with our choices. As part of this I talk about the kind of relationship I want with other horse industry people, which mirrors the same kind of relationship I want to have with my horses - relationships based on mutual respect and trust.

I share the changes I experienced as a result of doing this, and how this practice can help us and our horses. . . . ENJOY THE SHOW?
