And Happy New Year!

What a great time for the blog to head into 30k territory! The beginning of the new year is a great time of reflection, evaluation, goal setting....

Goals? Did someone say, "goals"?

Who DOESN'T want to improve themselves for the sake of their horse? Isn't the whole point of being a good horse human to get better at whatever we're doing with our horses?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's Celebrate!

I'd love to celebrate the 30k (that's actually 30,000 PEOPLE!!) by doing a random giveaway of 5 digital copies of Goal Setting For The Equestrian: A Personal Workbook. Since we're coming on to the new year, I thought you might find this workbook timely and appropriate!

All you have to do is answer the following question in the comments below:

What is one skill you would like to work on this year?

Here are the "deets":

  • The deadline is 12 am (midnight) on the day that the Facebook page reaches 30,000 likes! We are only just over 200 likes away at the time of writing this, so enter quickly, as it may happen within the next few days!
  • Only one entry per person. Only serious answers accepted (no facetious remarks!).
  • The draw is completely random.
  • Be sure to enter using the comment section for this post. Facebook comments will not be eligible for the draw! Winners will be announced the next day right here on the blog. I will write a new blog post with the winner's comments and names. Make sure you come back to check for winners on the blog or the Facebook page if you aren't already subscribed to the email list.
  • Winners will be required to contact me directly by email in order to receive their eBook.

Good luck, and thanks for reading, liking, commenting, encouraging me, and of course, Horse Listening!

P.S. Shameless plug to let you know that I'm currently working on a 2nd Edition of the Goal Setting Book, which should be ready for publishing in the early Spring. All the great content of the 1st Edition will be kept in, but there will be two new sections that will make the book even more complete and useful! Keep an eye out...!

Finally! The Ultimate Rider-Centered Program!

Ready for something completely different? If you liked what you read here, you might be interested in the new Horse Listening Practice Sessions. 

This is NOT a program where you watch other people's riding lessons. Start working with your horse from Day 1.
