In this episode of The Liberated Equestrian Podcast, I’m reflecting on a visit to Charles Town Races that opened my eyes to just how much early experiences shape both horses and humans. Watching young Thoroughbreds prepare to race helped me see my own horse, Kodiak Jack, in a new light—and gave me a deeper understanding of why certain behaviors still show up, even years later.

I talk about how our past—whether it’s a horse’s time on the track or our own experiences with anxiety or fear—creates patterns that can only be changed through safety, connection, and consistent, small steps. It’s the heart of what I teach in Finding Calm and wrote about in Meet the New You: transformation isn’t instant—it’s a series of faithful decisions strung together over time.

These principles of transformation -- for horses and humans -- are what I hope this episode leaves you pondering for yourself. Isn't it time to dig deep into the transforming work your heart, soul, mind, and body are begging you for? Yes, this episode is an invitation to lean into the small, faithful steps that lead to lasting transformation.
