Pivot Point of View

This week Becky and Destri discuss off season conditioning further including recovery strategies, and types of training that are appropriate in off season, and reconditioning yourself and your horse for the upcoming season.

In the first of our series of off season conditioning episodes, Destri and Becky dive in deeper to the process of goal setting to get your mind right and a path set to success in this next year.

In this episode, Becky shares with you the process she has used to set goals in her businesses and with her horses to give her a clear path or plan to success. This process involves breaking this up into the Bigger 1 year vision; into 90 day sprints; 30 day objectives; and 1 week tasks.

Cameron of Schoneberg Performance bits joins Becky & Destri in this episode to discuss how a welder, turned bit maker, has made such a name for himself in the western industry.

You can find Cameron’s bits in the hands of many elite trainers, such as Andrea Fappani in the reining world; as well as Kristin Weaver Brown, Ashley Schafer, Samantha Flannery, Joy Wargo, Pete Owen, Lauren Strough, and Becca Fellman in the barrel racing world.

Cameron and his wife Emily along with their son are all hands on deck to build the best bits in the industry. They are about giving you practical advice when it comes to bits and changes that are needed to enhance your horse’s performance, even if that means only changing your curb strap, instead of a whole new bit.

Deb and Steve Christy have been producing barrel races in the Nebraska and Kansas region for years and they understand what it takes to put on a great race. Deb is quick to give credit to her wonderful help that has been helping her from the start.

Deb also knows a thing or two about rider rehab, having had a total hip replacement and also preparing for a total knee replacement later this year. Deb discusses how her sessions with Pivot Point have helped her get on her horses better and do every day tasks like climbing stairs with less pain.

Necessity is the mother of all invention and that holds true with these passionate equine enthusiasts, Jill and Lynda. They saw a need for something to help reduce anxiety and connect a horse that seemed to have problems with stability. With their background in nursing and massage therapy, they started researching ways to connect the nervous system and body to provide more stability and unity in the horse, which ultimately improves physical performance and function.

Over the years, they have found their product, the Eagle ProSix, to be a central pattern generator and helps horses over come compensation patterns that develop due to weakness, illness or injury. The power of what this amazing elastic band system can do is not even fully known yet as they are currently undergoing a research study to validate the clinical and functional improvements that they see daily in their horses and the happy customers that love the product as much as we do.

Susan is passionate about what she does and wants everyone to feel at home when you attend one of her races. She tries hard to make sure that beginners feel as welcomed as the seasoned veterans when you enter her barrel race.
