Inspired Riding: How to be more patient with yourself and your horse.

Beth Lauren Parrish: "People talk about wanting to be more patient, but what does that really look like? I'm going to first address being more patient with ourselves when things aren't going to plan first. 

As a child, I knew that waiting for the bell to ring for school to let out on the days when I had my riding lesson was absolute torture. I would stare at the clock and hardly pay attention in classes. All I could think about was which school horse I might be riding (there were about 40 at my barn) and if I was going to get to..."

Inspired Riding: Why I love coaching riders remotely.

Beth Lauren Parrish:

"As a full time riding instructor for nearly twenty years, I don't think I would have ever predicted that most of my clients are now in different parts of the world. When I had several setbacks to my life these past couple of years, I decided that I wasn't going to stop sharing my passion for riding. 

I developed remote coaching services, which involve video chats with my clients to give them insights. I help them find solutions for their horse time and they end up having a lot more fun.

 

I now have a monthly group that has some other fun options. Each month, we get together for a video chat and..."

Schelli Whitehouse: Quantum Leap Principle #8 Humor

"An attitude of amusement not only raises your physical vibration to a higher feeling state of wellbeing, it creates a magnetic effect on others around you to take things less seriously.

I learned the importance of humor and horse training late in my life with horses. I used to believe that success was achieved when the horse did what I wanted him to do exactly the way I had it pictured in my mind. I was frequently frustrated and cranky with our lessons. As was my horse..."

Inspired Riding: How 5 Day Challenges Can Create Change For You and Your Horse

Beth Lauren Parrish: "

Last year, I started offering 5 Day Challenges in my Inspired Riders Facebook group. These challenges are a really fun way to get group members to connect and learn together. 

 

The first one was a big hit, as the title was, "How to hear your horse's thoughts." In that one, I taught the basics of animal communication, encouraged the participants to tune into their horses and then get brave enough to exchange photos with other members. Some of the results were incredible. Many were able to see, hear and feel things going on with horses they had never met in person. It was beautiful to see the exchange happen. Even if they weren't able to get any confirmation, I was so proud of everyone who tried the Challenge and were open to new perspectives. 

 

There were many other Challenges I've presented, the latest called, How to Create New Habits....

To consistently accept and hold gratitude for what is happening in your life and the world, no matter what, sunshine or tornado, requires practice and diligent awareness..."

Schelli Whitehouse: Quantum Leap Principle #6 Acceptance

"Horses have a huge capacity for accepting the here and now. When a horse is basking in the warm sun on a cool day, she is not lamenting the fact that every day is not like this. She is simply experiencing the moment, standing in what is. 

When the rains roll in and the wind kicks up she does not practice gratitude for the previous warm sun in hopes that it will bring it back. She does not try to manifest a sunny day or put on a ‘happy face’ in order to get through the storm. She does what she can to make herself comfortable. ...."
