Heart of Horsemanship Podcast

Power of Habit Stacking in Your Life [& How to start]

Tonya asks, "If my horse is riding in a bosal/hackamore, can they stay in the bosal or do they have to be switched into a bit?" (??FREE E-BOOK Below??) Having the knowledge, understanding and confidence is crucial to be the best leader for your horse! I'm doing this 30 Day challenge as a way to give you the best horse experience possible and your horse the best human experience possible. Before the training ever begins, we need to understand the principles, basic training exercises and even our own training exercises so we can be the best leader we can be for our horses. So I've created a FREE E-book to help you Become a Leader Worth Following (yep thats the title too) for your horse! These principles and exercises for both horse and human have transformed my relationships and communication with my horses. They have enabled me to drastically decrease my frustrations because I have a better understanding of my horses and myself. I know they can do the same for you and that is exactly why I am so excited to share this with you! You can download your free version here: www.coltonwoodshorsemanship.com/e-book We have incorporated an entire guided work book that you can use to work through the principles in your own life so you and your horse can have the best experience possible. To get the physical copy sent straight to you, just click the link below. www.coltonwoodshorsemanship.com/be-a-leader-worth-following We cannot wait to hear how this book helps you and your horse develop a connected and special partnership while achieving the your highest goals! -Colton Woods

Bits versus Bosal [Day 9/30]

 Let's break it down and simplify it!   Bridging the gap between where we are in our education, where our horse is and where we would like to be together can be frustrating to say the least at times. Megan asks how, if at all possible, how I approach training horses for other people while keeping the principle of 'work from where your horse is at today' at the forefront.   Fact is, my approach with personal and client horses hardly varies and yes it is a MUST to keep that principle as part of ones approach (otherwise things that the horse 'learns' may merely be superficial and not last).   So click play and let's dive into this fantastic question!   And I've got a gift to you and your horse. We wrote an entire book on leadership for our horses. It is called 'Be a Leader Worth Following'. You can download the E-Book version totally free! You can download it here: www.coltonwoodshorsemanship.com/e-book   Inside of it is an entire guided workbook with the exact things I've implemented in my own life. They've transformed my relationship with myself, my horses, my family and friends and I know they can for you too.   If you'd like the printed version of the book, we can ship that straight to you as well. You can order the printed version here: https://www.coltonwoodshorsemanship.com/be-a-leader-worth...   Thank you for being on this journey with us and I hope that these videos and book are serving you along your journey!   -Colton Woods 

How to know what to do when first starting to work with your horse each day [Day 8/30]

 Learn what you can do in and out of the arena to make sure you are prepared to serve and lead your horse to the utmost ability. Two years ago my journey transformed. I was preparing for my second Extreme Mustang Makeover event and knew I needed to do things differently if I wanted to go deeper with my horse on the relationship level and further in what we could accomplish. I made changes in my day to day life to better serve my horses. These changes not only transformed my horsemanship, they made me feel lighter, less stressed, happier, more present, more prepared, healthier and so much more. The awesome part was they were very simple changes to things I was already doing every day. Over the last two years I've broken down what I've done, how I've done it (and how you can too!), as well as the why- because we all need greater, deeper purpose just like our horses. I'll scratch the surface with you in this video on the things Ive implemented into my life that have enabled me to minimize and even eliminate frustrations between me and my horse, create clarity in our communication and understanding of one another and ultimately create deeper trust and connection. Helping you and your horse achieve these things together is incredibly important to me. My journey with horses started with horses that lacked a lot of trust of humans (in an equine rescue). Therefore I have a deep sense of purpose to help you and your horse build the relationship you desire and can together. So here is my gift to you and you horse. We wrote an entire book on leadership for our horses. It is called 'Be a Leader Worth Following'. You can download the E-Book version totally free! You can download it here: www.coltonwoodshorsemanship.com/e-book Inside of it is an entire guided workbook with the exact things I've implemented in my own life. They've transformed my relationship with myself, my horses, my family and friends and I know they can for you too.

Thank you for being on this journey with us and I hope that these videos and book are serving you along your journey! -Colton Woods

046 | Day 1/30 [How to fix a horse that just wants to lope/canter]

Ben is one of the most well spoken and articulate horsemen I've had the pleasure to get to talk with. He has an incredibly ability to break down seemingly complex situations, topics or even philosophies and simplify them so both horse and human can grasp the concept and learn from it. You will feel his incredible peaceful, present energy throughout this conversation as we dive into his journey of becoming an international clinician, his approaches to handling spooky & anxious horses, the legacy he is working to leave behind in his family and in this industry as well as much more.  Be sure to give Ben & Natalie a follow on social to keep up with all their happenings!  *****And to hear more amazing guests on the Heart of Horsemanship Podcast leave that 5 Star Rating & Review so more folks can find these incredible conversations! (Just scroll down)***** True West Horsemanship: Facebook & Instagram & YouTube About Ben & True West Horsemanship: Ben grew up on the Western Slope of Colorado, riding horses and working cattle. After finishing school, he spent much of his time doing day work for different ranches in the area, learning from the experience of the ranchers. He also spent a year working as assistant trainer at a Quarter Horse breeder in Colorado, learning the basics of colt starting and true horsemanship. Much of the next six years was spent in the colt starting & horse training business and his knowledge and experience continued to expand. During this time Ben worked on a 300,000 acre cattle & horse ranch in Wyoming, where he was also involved in conducting horsemanship clinics and demonstrations. Adding to a lifetime of practical equine experience, he is influenced by the methods of such horsemen as Tom & Bill Dorrance, Ray Hunt, and Buck Brannaman and has ridden with Richard Caldwell, Jeff Sanders, Martin Black and Dave Weaver. In 2011, Ben and his wife Natalie moved to her native country of New Zealand and took the opportunity to build a horse training and clinic business.  Since then, Ben has been privileged to be a returning Clinician at NZ’s national horse expo seven different years. In 2014 Ben was invited to participate in New Zealand’s first Kaimanawa Stallion Challenge – where trainers were randomly given a Kaimanawa Stallion straight from the wild and competed in 2 stages of competition. Ben has appeared in and written for a number of Equine Magazines, both in New Zealand and internationally, as well as appearing in an episode of Masterclass on Country TV. He also has an Online Video Library that contains a wide range of instructional videos for advancing students’ skills and horsemanship regardless of discipline or breed.

"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance." -ECKHART TOLLE Gratitude is more than a feeling, it is a habit. We are in a time of the year where love, joy, happiness and thankfulness can fill our souls. With those amazing feelings comes also the realities of the holiday seasons which can make us feel stressed, overwhelmed, unsure and many more less pleasant feelings. What we must remember during these emotional times is: You Find What You Are Looking For. If you take the time and implement practices to build your awareness for gratitude, you will find more things to be grateful for. And when you acknowledge all that you already have in your life to be grateful for, you have laid the foundation in your life to experience abundance. Now lets dive into today's Monday Morning Motivation to further explore the significance and tactical steps we can take to make gratitude a habit in our every day lives.    For those serious about furthering their horsemanship and investing in their own personal happiness and healthy: Learn more here about the Inner Circle.   About the Heart of Horsemanship: Hey Folks and welcome to the Heart of Horsemanship Podcast where we will answer ALL of these questions and many more!

"When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself." -Wayne Dyer In today's society where cancel culture is accepted widely and some believe you either have to take a stance on one side or another- I find the most reasonable truth exists somewhere in the middle. You see, your judgement of others can limit you and can save you. As people we are naturally wired for continuous growth and creativity while also maintaining a desire to survive and live. Judgement is there to serve both. Not all Judgement is bad and not all judgement is good.
