Why am I not riding? – Part 3
Here is a story I heard from a mindset and motivation coach: one of his clients wanted to implement the habit of running every morning. The coach told him: “When you get up in the morning, put your running shoes on and take them off again without even leaving the house.”

And Carla´s training makes you feel light and happy.
Today I was riding a very nervous mare, she’s very fast in this nervous mood, always shaking her head and it’s very difficult to communicate with her, relax her and concentrate her. In this situations, I always feel like I’m trying to talk to her through very thick wall and she can’t hear me! But today, I was just thinking about soft eyes, umbrella breathing and building my blocks and it was absolutely different!! After I started using soft eyes and umbrella breathing, she slowly calmed down and after a while, she was absolutely relaxed.. She even stopped shaking her head! It was really great feeling and I was so happy! Till the end of the lesson, she didn’t get nervous again and she was really concentrated and satisfied, really amazing for us both.
Thank you, Carla, for the help with my riding yesterday. I very much enjoyed learning from you and it will serve me well on the trail. You have so much to offer.
I learned so much today! Your lesson was worth several traditional lessons. It is a good way of introducing riders to you. I’ve never said this to anyone, but perhaps you should increase your price. My horse thanks you, too.
After 15 years of not riding, I felt taken care of and taken seriously by Carla.
Thank you for a wonderful morning with so much good stuff to learn and remember. Tonic says thank you as well, we had a wonderful ride this afternoon.
