Morning motivation…

Iron sharpens iron.

We are all a work in progress, and it helps to have like-minded people with the same goals pushing you to stay disciplined on this journey 💪🏼

If discipline is something you struggle with, consider joining a community- whether the local YMCA, planet fitness, or one of ours, it REALLY helps!

Your circle sets your ceiling.

Is discipline something you struggle with as a rider?

Has anyone made a DIY patience pole?

If so, what did you use? Can I use a long wooden post inside of pipe or does it have to be metal?

I have so many young horses right now and I really want to work on their ability to stand tied.

I know Phil Page had Ajax spend a lot of time on the patience pole at his house and it was very good for him! Before that he’d buck in place, paw, rear, pace- he hated being tied.

Now he hates being tied but keeps all 4 feet on the ground at least 🤣

I need to teach my 3 year old and both 2 year olds the same. Whether they turn into ranch horses or barrel horses they will definitely need to know the skill of standing tied for long periods of time.

If I had a patience pole I could rotate each horse on it for a couple hours per day without having to worry as much about them.

I dont have a hitching post, so right now if they’re tied they are either up close to a fence (I don’t love that) or my trailer (I also don’t love that because when they paw they beat up my trailer)

Tell me what you’ve done for DIY! Bonus if I can buy/order it in a small town as we don’t have a Lowe’s or Home Depot here.

This sport exposes excuses fast.

You can blame ground, draws, setups, pressure, luck, trainers, veterinarians, farriers, entry numbers, or whatever else makes you feel better for a little while… but eventually the truth catches up.

The competitors that keep improving are usually the ones willing to look at themselves honestly first. That applies to riding, business, and life.

Accountability isn’t always comfortable, but it’s usually productive.

There’s just nothing like a little sweat equity to make you appreciate something.

And by “something” I’m specifically referring to a well-trained broke horse that you can go compete on 🤣

Grow seeds, grow! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

Please be brutally honest: how long did it take you to pattern and season one after they had the “basics” down?
