I’m realizing it’s not about the WHAT - it’s about the HOW
It’s not about Izzy and I doing flying changes - (the what) - what it’s really about FOR ME (now….) is how we are doing them
Meaning…. Is there tension, anxiety, Resistance and reaction…. OR …. Is there relaxation, trust, confidence, harmony
Over the last few years Izzy and I have been working on THE HOW
We went back to what we can do together with relaxation, trust, confidence and harmony
Which was really a 20m circle
Back to the very basics
Building on what we can do together keeping THE HOW as our focus - letting go of WHAT we are doing.
This has also led me to look at HOW we spend our time together
Variety keeps us in harmony - balancing all Aspects of our relationship and building a well rounded athlete in each of us - together
I have found a 3 day cycle that works great 🎉
One day we graze, we groom, we pony off the side by side for physical exercise
The next day we ride out on a trail ride together - focusing on walking out and relaxing - building stamina and strength out of arena
The third day we do arena work - working on the movements and elements, which has been very productive!
Izzy has taught me so much 💕 I’m glad she has been patient with me 😂we are learning to grow together…… and thank you to our coach Lindsey Stroh for guiding us, and supporting us on this adventure 🤗 and to Shauna Edwards our therapist 😂 for the physical, emotional and spiritual guidance and support 💕 AND Stephanie Muir my Pilates coach… as my strength, stamina, flexibility grows in my Pilates work - the under saddle work grows too!!!!
I’m looking forward to discovering where we grow from Here 💕
