Take the Reins is a personal growth podcast for horse owners who are invested in strengthening their connection with their self, their equine partners and everyone else they communicate with. Our listeners are looking to be the best version of themselves both in and out of the arena.
In this episode we revisit the book I introduced you to at the beginning of this season, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess, by Dr Caroline Leaf. I discuss what her 5 step process of mind management is and connect it to horses to help make the strengthen your why to do the work. I finish the episode by discussing the future of Take the Reins and some amazing adventures I have that will bring about a few changes, but MUCH inspiration to the podcast.Links Mentioned:https://www.amazon.ca/Cleaning-Up-Your-Mental-Mess/dp/1540900401/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw7fuJBhBdEiwA2lLMYavuHJIJJIk6ali_p6ueZpXLovyFDMN4FD_8ga6AhJTHPPJEE8gHLBoCUgkQAvD_BwE&hvadid=475188872285&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1002105&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=10104776409443200406&hvtargid=kwd-1058511493664&hydadcr=27889_10612579&keywords=cleaning+up+your+mental+mess&qid=1631550368&sr=8-1www.alongfortheride.proFollow me online @:https://nikkiporter.ca/https://www.instagram.com/nikkiportercoaching/https://www.facebook.com/nikkiporterauthor/Purchase publications by Nikki Porter @:https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=nikki+porter&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

This week we look at ways that both us and our horses protect ourselves when we do not have our mental, emotion and physical needs met.

In this episode we start the new year off with a potentially life-changing exercise that allows you the space and time to decipher between your traits and symptoms that are showing you need to make some changes in your life, relationships, boundaries, etc. This exercise is as powerful as you let it be and can help you understand yourself and your horse on a deeper level.

In this episode I share two bits of very exciting news, our final equestrian author interview and a chat about tuning your awareness into where and what you are feeling drawn to. We use the term draw in horsemanship to describe our horses desire to go towards what they find comfort in and I encourage you to look into what and why you are drawn to in life.

In this episode I address two questions sent in from listeners that bring us back to some important questions to ask ourselves. The first question I cover is how to know if a horse is too much horse or if it is fear holding you back. I give three questions to ask yourself to help bring some scope to the situation. The second question is how to keep your sanity while your horse is injured. I love this question because it is a great opportunity to remind ourselves of our why and to separate the horse from our goals.

In this episode I discuss the phenomenon of pressure and the importance of tuning into our own daily pressures as an equestrian. Within the episode I share a condensed pressure audit that will help bring some perspective and personal awareness to your pressure and how it effects your relationship with your horse. Pressure is something that we all know well, but it was the brilliance of Beth Anstandig that truly tuned me into the need to improve my understanding of it and ability to attend to it for the betterment of my horsemanship and communication as a whole.

In this episode I share why I believe the work we are embarking on together is so important, maybe even the most important, for us to do as equestrians, do a brief reading from Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess by Dr. Caroline Leaf to show you where I am leading you this season, and I discuss the difference between Growth and Healing on your journey of self-discovery and the unique path each of us may choose along the way to get the support we want or need, just as we do when deciding how to advance our riding or horsemanship. I finish the episode by expressing again the importance of the work we are embarking on and how it is only fair for us to be willing to do the hard work when we expect it of our horses.

Todays episode was recorded with a heavy heart. It is dedicated to my Hush Puppy. "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." - Winnie The Pooh
In this episode I share two bits of news for my listeners and share a reading from The Conscious Communicator after doing to personal reflection on the impact increased awareness has on our ability to show up with softness for our horses and humans in our lives.
In this episode I challenge you to shift your awareness of your pace and feel in your everyday life to enhance your horsemanship. I speak about slowing down as a way to find the space to respond versus react, but to also attend to what is truly needed in our relationships, both human and equine.

In this episode I share 3 conclusions I have come to over the last few weeks as a result of reading a social media thread regarding personal development and horsemanship. This episode allows me a place to share my thoughts on the following: Our inability to separate personal development from our development as an equestrian, that there is nothing "woo woo" about connecting the two, and that I am honoured to be taking part in forward thinking conversation within the horse community that puts the relationship with the horse at the forefront. Thank you for being part of this incredible ride and for doing the hard work of being accountable, honest, and loving.

In this episode I have the privilege of speaking with Jim Masterson & Dylan Silver where they share the experience of producing the documentary film, “A Mind Like Still Water”. This film is one in which Dylan’s crew films Jim, the founder of The Masterson Method, a light touch equine massage technique, and Mark Rashid co-teach the yearly clinic they offer yearly which combines their teaching and methodologies. Along with bringing awareness to the film and sharing why they believe it is so important for the equestrian world, we also share how this work helps enhance the awareness of horse owners to build better partnerships with their horses. The film just scratches the surface of the work, but tells a brilliant story of how horses and humans come together and the impact they have on one another.
