Hi from Norway 😊

When I press the grip with my legs while reading, my waist becomes stiff and when I release the grip, my waist keeps bending What should I do???

How do u know your horse has worms? do they show up in the manure?

I like your videos. they make me feel so good. keep uploading please..

Question: why do you tuck your jeans into your boot’s?

I am riding in a riding club. I am riding a horse by doing collection and flexion, if another rider is riding the same horse without doing collection, will the horse be able to learn from this or not?

I’m with you on waking up to alarms - my nervous is always shot! 😜 Trips are such good tools for clarifying goals.

You say it correctly I say it wrong 🤣

Greetings fellow horse gal! This just came on my feed somehow, and I'm glad. I'm a ways south of you in the Upper Great Lakes.Life can be overwhelming at times with so much on the plate, but it all evens out after a while. This is as 'social media' as I get, so I can't imagine trying to juggle vlogs and such. Horse care alone is a hefty task! How about prioritizing without guilt and treat yourself to downsizing at least 1 task. I know when I do that it feels like a heavy weight lifted from my shoulders. 😊 The best of luck with conceiving, and amidst all of this, I'm glad you have horses. I saw a shirt that said, "Horses Keep Me Stable" Very true, eh? God bless 🐎🐎🐎

I’ve been watching your videos for a while now as a fellow Albertan. I’m much older than you, but I have had the no desire to ride phase as well (but you’ve been in this space off an on for a while it seems). For where you are at at the moment, my advice is to send him to a trainer. While you are taking care of other things in your life he will still be progressing with his training and it will be just one thing off your plate for a while. He will be that much further along when you get him back and your dreams of showing won’t be so far away! Take junior on some rides around the farm when you are missing him. It will be good for both of you and no pressure. Just a thought!!

Nice cowboy boots!! You use crew sport socks or you use socks above the ankle or you use low ankle socks or you use no show socks with cowboy boots?

Do you guys have Ezekiel cereal in Canada? Or premier protein cereal? Soooooooo good!!

It happens , but it will get better, hang in there !

The boot company was named after the famous race horse Secretariat....pronounce it as that !

Newish follower here - I've been curious about Jordan Peterson's self-authoring courses, so it's very helpful to hear your perspective! I have also find myself being both a "busy procrastinator" and feeling stagnant lately! Good fortune on your new adventures!

Your horse is looking great. I hear ya about being in a funk. My gelding is 8 years old and last year I stopped cutting with him. I took some time off and had surgery. My goal is to make my horse an all-around bridle horse.I am getting a bit frustrated as he still has cutting in his brain. He will try to cut the dog, kids, and even a duck. It makes me feel like I'm keeping him from something he really loves to do.

Definitely above pet, like a toddler. Pet doesnt work at that level of intelligence. I second what you said at 9:42, there IS something going on and there is no words so we cannot explain it.

I have been riding over 20 years and I feel like I’m not a good rider either!! But I think the more you know the more you realize you don’t know and it skews your opinion on yourself.

I just found your channel and I love it! I just posted my first video do you have any advise??? The kitties are sooooo cute!!!!

I’m a new subscriber. Your life is so calming. This is what I wish for in a week, but you know what, I’m not even allowed to go to the park in Afghanistan. 🙂

The same thing for green and broke. I have ridden so many horses that I was told were broke and they were green at best. In my eyes if you are not neck reining you are green.

Is a horse ever really "finished" ?

Love the horse-cam shots, gives a bit of perspective of the rider. I'm always a little surprised, that - like larger dogs - horses are extremely muscular, so I don't quite understand why you would like him to be even more jacked than he already is. I thought you mentioned his name was Diesel, he is a very good looking horse for sure, great aesthetic lines, despite his more stockier build. I hope you can limit the amount of hours you can sit at your desk, that stuff ain't healthy even for someone with an active life like you seem to have. Thanks for the video!

There is some overlap with being a Navy Seal and riding and taking care of Horses. You meantioned teamwork, which is a great one. Another easy one is that both require quite a bit of discipline. You need to clean and maintain your weapons and gear, like how you clean and take care of your horse. Shoveling horse poop doesn't exactly sound like a fun time, but it needs to be done, just like having gruelling training schedules that are mentally tough. Also both things cut out all the bs. If you're a Seal, you have no time for niceties or pondering over decisions, you need to act and get out of your head more often than not. With horses, they really don't accept these uncertainties either, they can feel the insecurity of people that are around them and really don't want any of that. I've generally found a lot of people that ride are extremely grounded. It is not exactly the same as the professional military, as there are a lot more stressors involved with that job, including your own life and the lives of others that are on the line, but there is certainly some overlap. Thanks for posting this. I was hovering over the video progress bar to see where the navy Seal was in the video, but it turns out it was just you talking the entire video. I'll look into your channel, see if you have any great outside shots with the horses as well, as this is more like a solo podcast.

Thank you for sharing your story, I remember watching it a few months ago but never commented until now. I too am struggling with fear/confidence issues around my horse because of some scary accidents and I don’t think people talk enough about this subject.

I rode my horse today and there was a bit of wildfire smoke in the air. Also its been dry and dusty. After working and sorting calves i led my horse to some grass before putting him back, suddenly there was some watery white discharge present coming from the one nostril...it wasnt yellow or green..watery and white...the. I got thinking that its more than likely the smoke!!

Something with a high biotin content for the feet (to be fed) x

So much variety in that list...you won't get bored for sure !

What do you use on his coat?

Whiny Canadian of course.

Thank you and God bless!

My mare is 27. She was not saddled until 3. I really didn't do much with her until 5. Due to a really horrible summer last year she had to be retired. Laminitis was the cause.

I feel that 3 year olds are still babies. 5 year olds are much better! Their soundness is very important!

You nailed it,

If you would like to come ride some cow horses, make a colab video, and try going down the fence contact me.

this is so good!!

I love the junior cow horse bit also

Sometimes when life is easy as you stated it is far harder to find motivation. A little bit of hard is one of the best motivators. This is why immigrant children whose parents are lunch ladies or cleaning people, those kids wind up very highly motivated. I’m not saying your not I am sure it took hard work to get where you are but now your life is more “easy” and I think sometimes that does make it harder to motivate. So having those goals will definitely give you some more hard. Give yourself a hard goal. Maybe new something that seems impossible. Fallon Taylor talks about a lot. Pick something hard and then baby step to it.

You must never look back with "what ifs". Today is the day

We had horses growing up but I never learned to ride, the last time I was on a horse would have been on a draft horse as a kid. 2 days later it got out and got onto the highway and was hit and killed by a transport. I was never on a horse again, when I had the chance to learn to ride there was too much anxiety and I couldn't do it. in 2021 I suffered serious psychological and emotional trauma then suddenly horse became a thing and it was somethig I had to do. I started riding in March 2023 when I was 57 it's now March 2024 so I have been riding a year. Becasue of the anxiety that I was having I had to stop for 2 months in June and July but I still went to my lesson and helped out other students. Not only that but I have a problem with dizziness which doesn't help riding but I go to rehab to work on that. I was orginally looking for equine thearpy but it's now become much more. My instructor teaches Dressage, who knows maybe one day. Who can say.

BAAAHAHAHAHAHA...!!! You feel "too old" at 32 (and teary about it too, good GREIF). You think you have missed the boat with horses at age 32?!?!?! Come back when you're in your late 60s/early 70s, hon. Your bones are still strong, you have PLENTY of time to "learn horses", fall off a time or two 'til you develop your seat. Go enjoy life!!!

Have a look at ridinghighministries and tell me horses dont come into a person's life at the exact right time. 😊
