Today, McKayla and I discuss 5 things you need to successfully lose fat. McKayla is an online fitness and nutrition coach, with an emphasis on supporting horsewomen in their journey. She was my coach for several months and has so much knowledge to give. Enjoy this episode as she shares her tips and tricks for how to lose fat and build the healthy habits to keep it off.

Hint: It’s not cutting carbs and endless cardio ;)

This week we give a little update on Kevin the mini-mule and how Camri is changing the dynamic of the catching routine. If we focus on a relationship before we start demanding things of each other, it leads to a more fulfilling relationship, as well as more willingness to respond to our demands later on.

We discuss how taking ownership of our decisions in our life gives us the power to make the changes we need to make. Many times humans talk about how we can’t change our situation, or how we are forced into the situation we are in, and bad things are happening to us. But is there really a “can’t”? Or are we just blaming the world, our spouse, our friend, or our horse? If we take ownership of the choices we made that got us to where we are, then we can be content in the life that we have chosen. We can accept the good with the bad, knowing we aren’t stuck, but that we chose this, and we can continue to choose this. Or we can make new choices that shape a new life.

As we make new choices, we need to remember that slow progress is the best progress. It will last longer and be more meaningful if we take the time it takes to learn through the process and grow as a person, spouse, business owner, and friend.

Does 60 days make a broke horse? We don't think so.

McKayla and I discuss the things that we think make a broke horse.

This is what we think a broke horse is: A horse that responds consistently, and in many different situations.

60-90 day horses, no matter how gentle and sweet, simply do not have the exposure, trail miles, arena miles, hauling miles, and experience to be 100% reliable and consistent.

Join McKayla and I as we discuss different versions of "broke" horses, and some of our personal experiences that taught us what we have learned.

This week we discuss trail etiquette and safety.

Trail riding is one of the most popular things to do with your horse, but there’s no courses teaching you the rights and wrongs of what to do with your horse on the trail. So here it is ;) 

We go over things to consider when riding with a group and by yourself.

We talk about things to be aware of if you aren’t a rider and go over some important safety measures to think about in all scenarios.

We hope you enjoy, and share with someone who needs to hear it! And as always, we would love it if you left us a 5 star rating if you enjoy listening!

McKayla here!

This week Camri acts as part of a panel with our guests McKynzi Short and Lisa Muscarella. I've been excited about this panel for a long time, as I do not have kids and it's an ever-evolving conversation in my household as I try and fathom how I could possibly handle a child while still being able to keep up with the goals I have for myself and my horses.

McKynzi Short is a mom of an adorable toddler and a close friend of both Camri and me. She is a Brand Inspector for the state of Utah as well as a colt starter and cow horse trainer. She has long been someone I have looked up to while watching her balance her busy life with her son.

Lisa Muscarella is a mom of two boys who are both in their twenties. She provides valuable insights into how she made it work without a support system, and how she was able to make her passion for horses work even while living in New York and raising two young kids.

If you've been listening to this podcast you already know Camri, who is normally my co-host but today is acting as a valuable member of the panel. She is a mom of two cute kids who are 6 and 8 years old. She has been running her own business as a colt starter for over 9 years and has managed to balance raising her kids and growing her business.

Join me as I ask all the questions about how these women make horses and motherhood work, about the struggles, the wins, and some fun tips and strategies they've used over the years!

In this episode, we discuss how we deal with a loss of confidence in our riding, and/or a fear of horses. Every horse person at one time or another in their life, will have to deal with a situation with horses that strikes a bit of fear, anxiety, or uncertainty. When this happens, we can choose to leave the horse industry altogether. But seeing as this is The Horsewoman Project, we figure most of you listeners want to work through the fear and gain back your confidence! McKayla and I discuss how we have overcome our own fears, as well as how we have taught our students to overcome their own fear or loss of confidence.

McKayla once owned a riding lesson business called Harnessing Confidence, which was based solely around the idea of helping kids and adults gain more confidence with their equine partners. She has a very amazing process of how she builds trust with her students so that she can really help them learn to be confident on and around horses.

Camri's fear around horses has been overcome again and again, as she has been kicked in the head, thrown over fences, bucked off, and more. She talks about how more knowledge and proper preparation help her stay out of a state of anxiety and fear, and more in a state of being present and focused on the horse in front of her.

We get an update on how McKayla has handled her anxiety with her mare and talk about how she's found she's allowed her boundaries to fall and that has created a lot of the issues she's been noticing.

Then we dive into track systems.

Track systems have been an important part of McKayla's horse management system for the last 3 years. We talk about how she got into track systems to help rehab her horse who was diagnosed with Navicular and had calcified ligaments in his pasterns. 

We go over how she made it work in a small space, the pros and cons of the system and how Camri has dabbled in some of the ideas with her mare, Freya’s stall. 

Shows how much more movement horses get with a track vs field and what types of feeding strategies support it as well: http://www.dutchhollowacres.com/dutch-hollow-acres/paddock-paradise/

Since almost every horsewoman I've ever known owns a dog, I really wanted to bring Danielle Peterson of El's Pampered Paws onto the podcast, and she did not disappoint. In this episode, we get to know a bit about Danielle, how she got to where she is now, and her views on dog training and how it relates to all of us horsewomen who love our doggos just as much as we love the horses in our lives!

McKayla and I dive into a few of the things we used to believe but no longer do. Everything from the white "speed buttons" on a horse's back, to how we view "naughty horses" and so much more!
