Progression, in any endeavor in life, is dependent upon a series of moments. From the small moments of learning to the big lightbulb moments that change our perception of a concept for the long-term, every moment is a significant part of our journey. In this episode, I'm sharing a story that reminded me to focus on these incremental moments in the process instead of just focusing on the end result.

When training a horse, it can be easy to adopt a results-oriented instead of process-oriented mentality. When we focus on short-term results in our training sessions, we tend to lose sight of the main purpose of our training, which is to establish long-term foundational gains. In this episode, I'm sharing some stories from our recent clinics about the benefits of process-oriented training and how giving your horse a job can help build their foundation for long-term success.

In the training journey, it can sometimes feel like you are in a never-ending season of challenges. But, if there's one thing that I have realized through my own experiences and seeing others' experiences at clinics, it is that we are all going through the same challenges, just in a slightly different way. In this episode, I'm sharing some thoughts on keeping things in perspective and shifting your focus to the most important aspects of your training program.
