Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast: Balancing life, achieving horse goals as a mum, and believing in yourself with Meg Mortimer

“Believe in Yourself”

Meg Mortimer describes herself as a mum who never grew out of the horse phase!

She lives in central New South Wales on a sheep farm with her husband and 3 kids.

Meg has loved horses all her life, dabbling in pony club as a kid, and progressing to competing in dressage, showjumping, and eventing in her twenties.

Meg describes herself at that time as being fearless and that meant she could have a lot of fun. In her thirties, she got married and had babies- and suddenly was not so fearless anymore.  Meg is now in her forties and has learned to be patient, to take things slow, and improve her communication with her horse. She feels at ease with herself knowing she doesn’t need to compete to prove she is a capable horseperson. 

Meg describes her philosophy with horses as always being kind, slowing down, and listening to your horse. Meg says she also loves the intention of balance as this is not only for her horses, but her family and life in general. Meg loves learning and whilst her life is sometimes crazy chaos she loves the ride.

I came across Meg when she signed up to my Horsemanship Fundamentals Academy, and I began teaching Meg through pivo lessons which has been a lot of fun!

In this episode, we talk about Meg’s horsemanship journey and how she overcomes the challenges of balancing life and work whilst pursuing her horse goals in a way that is true to her values around training horses.

You will love Meg’s contagious positive energy and the lessons she shares around her horses Gally, Patch, & Mr Jones.

If you’re a mum and rider with goals you will be inspired by Meg’s story.
