It’s been too long my frens!!
"They" (whoever they are) say blog on a schedule. Once a month, once a week ... whatever you can do to keep it regular is important. I know that. Many of you have been around off and on since 2007 when this blog was started over on blogger! Did any of you blog back...
It’s About Time
It's been too long since I sat down to write a post. I've been busy with work, play, coaching, training and the things that are part of farm life. So I'll apologize to anyone who follows along with me and move onto the inspiration for this post. The dogs and I have...
Winter Training and Trialling
Winter has been shockingly mild here. I started Quirk, the pony, back up on February 1st instead of March 1st with her 5-minute walks. We've been doing daily walks with Leo and Salem and come back invigorated but not frozen. I haven't used a hand warmer yet this year....
Challenges everywhere you look!
This one is positive though ... I've created "21 Days to Creating a Sustainable Habit" to get that kickstart people want going for the year ... the concept here (inspired by students, as usual) is to bring people who want to start, or stop, a habit together. Set goals...

Oh How Disappointing
Here we are, six months post break and I'm still working on my arm strength and mobility every day. It's okay, don't get me wrong, but as I started working on my webinar for July 26th (Let Go: Disappointment and Beyond) I realized that the topic might be timely for me...
Defining Success
I had a webinar at FDSA (April 6th at 9 pm ET to be accurate) on Creating Your Winning Formula. Typical of my webinars I had to leave out at least as much as I jammed in. The four part formula was easy for me - starting with Setting Priorities and ending with Taking...

10 ways healing my broken arm has improved my animal training
Observe the roll…
3 blogs in January ... perhaps a goal of mine could be at least one blog every other week. I've been making that goal since November in fact! I enjoy writing and thinking and so many of you gift me amazing fodder, there is always something on my mind, thank you. I am...
