Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall


Jun 26, 2024

Stacy addresses the common feeling of being "behind" in horse training, offering a framework to reassess and recalibrate goals. She provides four key questions to ask yourself when feeling behind, then offers two action steps to move forward productively.

Key points:
• Recognize the difference between having a concrete plan and a hopeful wish
• Evaluate your reasons for falling behind and practice self-compassion
• Consider external factors and intentional choices that may have affected your progress
• Use setbacks as learning opportunities to improve future planning and decision-making
• Develop a realistic, step-by-step approach to achieve your horse training goals, rather than relying on vague aspirations

This approach will help you transform feelings of being behind into constructive action.
