Everybody wants a good horse.
But not everybody wants to become the kind of person that makes a horse good.
In today’s world, people expect fast results.
Instant gratification.
Swipe, click, scroll, done.
People expect success to be delivered like an Amazon Prime Order:
fast, easy, and with a smile.
They want to turn their feral horse into a “finished horse” without ever putting in the hours it takes to truly understand one in the first place.
Here’s the thing…
Mastery isn’t downloadable.
A reciprocal relationship can’t be rushed. It is build over time and it comes with highs and lows.
What took others years of learning, failing, watching, refining, people now want handed to them in a weekend clinic, a 10-minute video, a one time exercise, a one-sentence answer or because they bought a course.
The shortcuts people chase are often detours that lead them right back to where they started, just more frustrated this time.
They want the feel, but not the feedback.
They want the bond, but not the humility.
They want the horse to change, but they don’t want to change themselves.
No one can hand you the timing, the feel, the quiet, calm and consistent leadership it takes.
It can’t be downloaded or bought.
You earn that, you develop it, with every consistent rep and step. With patience. With clarity. Through being a lifetime student of the horse.
By showing up on the days it’s hard, boring, frustrating or humbling.
Put in the work.
Put in the hours.
Because your horse
deserves that version of You.
