⭐️ Well everyone, I have some news! ⭐️

Redins Equine Services is MOVING to the beautiful province of Saskatchewan mid August!

I would love to take this time to thank each one of my clients and their horses for continued support, here in the home land of Alberta ♥️ You’ve made me a better horsewoman with the variety of mindsets I have got to work with, and I thank you for that!

I’m still willing to take horses from Alberta, but I will be west of Weyburn for any inquiring minds.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, I truly appreciate you all! Bandee, Ette and myself are excited about this new chapter and look forward to meeting new people, cheers yall 🍻

Food for thought ♥️

Your horse doesn’t need you to be perfect

In fact, the pursuit of your perfectionism just might be the main thing holding you back from a successful relationship with your horse.

“Perfectionism is often defined as the pursuit of flawless performance or outcomes, accompanied by critical self-evaluation and harsh self-criticism.”
- Hritz N

You see, perfectionism is rooted in a fear of failure. And when you are working with your horse, fretting about the future (fearing you will fail, and putting extra stress on yourself to be sure you are doing it perfectly), you are not present. What your horse desires the most to feel safe is a present minded, stable individual. One that’s predictable in there energy when with them. Horses don’t have large pre frontal cortex’s, which is the part of the brain for humans, used for organizing, planning, perfecting, manipulating, ect. While they do have a small one, it functions differently than ours. So when we get stuck in it, they just don’t really understand it. They rely heavily, however, on memory. Each time your with them their memory of the event before and the “feeling” they had with you is strong.
There is power in being present, and grounded when working with your horse. More power in that than you being overly focused, stuck in the thinking part of your brain in order to be ‘perfect’. While a small amount of perfectionism can be good to keep you striving for better, we have to work hard to “get out of that space” when you are working with your horse.

While getting better is always the goal, and learning to ask with better technique is great, we can’t get stuck in the loop of perfectionism which leads to the anxiety of failing due to over self evaluation, and fear that we won’t be able to ever to do it our own standards. Take relief in knowing your horse isn’t asking you to be perfect, you are the only one doing that. I’ve seen some of the most incredible bonds and relationships created with imperfect riders.

I’m super thankful to all of my clients from past and present for allowing me to get this far with a dream of mine. I’ve made some great friends, and I’ve worked amazing horses and it makes me so happy and proud.

Unfortunatly I’m not able to continue with horse training full time, with being a fulltime parent and my own breadwinner ♥️ Starting September 2024, I’ll only be taking in 1-2 horses in a month.

I’m so greatful to all of you for your support and hopefully continued support 🥰
Cheers big ears 🍻
