One of the biggest mistakes we can make in our horsemanship journey is changing directions before we've given a program enough time to work.

Confidence in both horses and riders comes from consistency over time. It comes from showing up day after day, applying the same principles, refining your communication, and trusting the process long enough to see the results.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I share some observations from recent clinics and talk about why sticking with the fundamentals, staying consistent with your cues, and committing to a program are key to building confidence, understanding, and long-term success.

There’s always another horse to ride, another project to finish, another item on the to-do list... but if you’re running on empty, eventually it catches up with you.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I’m talking about managing your energy, avoiding burnout, and why staying mentally fresh is just as important as putting in the work. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is slow down long enough to recharge.

Every day, we have 86,400 seconds to spend—to invest in the things that matter. How are you using this time today?

Most of us spend a lot of time riding our horses two-handed, especially when we're training, tuning, and helping them understand new concepts. But at some point, you've got to put one hand down and find out how much of that foundation is really there.

In this episode, I talk about the benefits of riding both one-handed and two-handed, how each serves a different purpose in your training program, and why riding one-handed is one of the best ways to evaluate your communication, softness, and connection to your horse's mind and feet.

Fargo, ND — May 2026

It’s always good to get back to North Dakota. No matter how many times I’m here, I always enjoy meeting new people, working with new horses, and seeing the progress returning participants have made since the last clinic.

We’d like to send a big thank you to Carrie Schiotz for hosting another great clinic. Carrie consistently brings together a growth-minded group of people who are committed to learning and improving their horsemanship. We’d also like to thank Shannon Eck at NDSU for helping coordinate the use of a great facility for us to spend a few days riding together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us!

Devils Lake, ND — May 2026

This clinic has become a regular stop on our schedule over the past few years, and it’s one I always look forward to. One of the most rewarding parts is getting the opportunity to work with many of the same horses and riders at different stages of their journey.

Watching that progress unfold over time is a great reminder that there are no shortcuts to lasting results. When you commit to a solid foundation and stay consistent with the process, good things happen.

Thank you to everyone who spent a few days riding with us last week, and to our good friend, Connie Soderholm, for hosting!
