Special Course For Women Riders
Who’s Aches & Pains & Bad Habits Make Riding An Uphill Battle
(and sure you’ll be in your rocker by the time you figure it all out)
Discover How To Work With Your Body To FINALLY Break Bad Habits & Relearn/Learn How To Ride With Ease and Balance
If you want to know why you still can’t sit and ride well and finally turn your riding plateaus & tension into a stable, but following seat, this course is for you!
Brave Horse Riding Lady, I see you... out there trying SO hard in your lessons, taking lots of action, and willing to put in all that extra hard work to ride effectively and elegantly.
You’re…
All of this (and more) shows just how deep and steadfast your devotion is to your 1200 pound companion and unwavering commitment to be the most lovely rider you can possibly be. You have every reason to be proud of every ride.
THE PART THAT GETS FRUSTRATING THOUGH?
That even after all of your hard work and commitment you still don’t have a lovely seat that’s consistently soft and
elastic *aghhhhh*...
So while you absolutely LOVE riding, wouldn’t trade it for
anything in the world, this snail’s pace progress is
NOT what you were hoping for.
Truth be told, it drags you down. Waaay down. But when you get going about all the hard work you put into your riding lessons, your eyes shine bright with passion: you LOVE talking about horseback riding.
You and I are kindred spirits, in that way. :)
I was proud of my hard work and effort I put into my riding, loved swapping stories with my fellow riders, testing out new finds from the tack store, and putting in extra hours for fitness.
But for years, I felt like I was checking all the "you're supposed to do this" boxes... but still I felt like I was scratching the surface on my riding potential. Where was my steady progress? Why wasn’t my body doing what I wanted? And shouldn't I be able to implement what my instructors tell me, or at the very least, modify what they tell me because of my injuries, so that I can experience more elegant riding?
You and I are passionate, mature women riders. We're devoted to our horse and the freedom of being in harmony with him.
And if ‘Try Hard’ or ‘Do More’ were the answers to our challenges, every one of us women riders on the planet would have a long, lovely classical line, but that’s NOT what’s happening.
MY FELLOW PASSIONATE RIDER, I KNOW THIS MAY SOUND CRAZY, BUT I’M HERE TO TELL YOU: It’s NOT you! It’s NOT that you don’t have ‘ability’ because you do!
Riding with ease and balance is the most natural way to be on a horse (and you have what it takes to be there no matter what age you are!) BUT...
THE REAL ISSUE HERE IS THAT:
No amount of lessons or clinics (even with high-level trainers), lunge line or practice time will help until you are clear about this one thing... How you are getting in your own way (because only then can you fix it).
99.9% of riding lessons focus solely for an aesthetically pleasing seat. Then when you’ve locked up your body trying to comply with the requests, they tell you to ‘RELAX’ ( I can say that confidently because I’ve been in (or what seems like) 1M riding lessons).
This is what leads to that “I could scream’ experience of hearing the same thing over and over and over again in exchange for agonizingly slow (and incredibly frustrating) progress
,
But the worst part is ALL the bad habits you pick up trying to comply with the request and are now stuck with, and….
The common approaches
we’re taught simply do NOT address
the unique needs we mature women riders have.
Whether you rode as a child and are now finding your body won't do what it used to or you always dreamed of riding and are just now hopping in the saddle, your body is an intricate, intuitive piece of art and it can’t and won’t be forced into the ease and elegance of the an effective seat.
Think about it… forced ease?
So while fitness and biomechanics videos and books add to your intellectual understanding of riding with ease and confidence…. Giving you the “I know what I want my body to do” info… it doesn’t actually tell you HOW to do it. And more importantly, how to KEEP it.
In fact, if you have bad or old riding habits built up and then add fitness and stretching exercises on top of them, you end up reinforcing your imbalances versus eliminating them.
That’s why so many riders talk about how their results disappear when they stop exercises or stretching… It's because fitnes and biomechanics don’t actually solve the root cause of their tension and imbalances.
What is the root cause? And how DO we solve it and the frustrating side effects keeping us from the ever beautiful Classical Line?
The answers might surprise you...
The Feldenkrais Method Turns Bad Habits Into New, Productive Habits Through A Mindful, Awareness-Based Approach
Feldenkrais benefits you because it meets you where you’re at right now, and guides you one step at a time toward excellence in your riding.
Whether you’re tilted, slanted, lop-sided or crunched up because of aging, injuries, bad habits, surgeries or any other reason…
The lessons are deceptively simple movement lessons you do off the horse. If you’re not able to do the lessons (no matter what the reason might be), you can VISUALIZE the lessons and amazingly, you will see the improvement in your riding (and everything else about you) afterward.
It is a science based - mindfulness in action - approach so you learn to do less so you can feel what you’re doing that isn’t helping you. You can then develop better ways of moving that allow you to have a strong yet dynamic seat in your riding.
It’s a mindful, awareness-based approach, and I’m going to teach it to you.
Because maybe sometimes you can sit with perfect posture, well balanced, core engaged etc... but you're stiff as a board, and don’t have the ability to accommodate your horse’s motion.
This is the last thing I want for you because it disconnects you from your horse & increases your chance of a fall.
My mission is to teach you how to have a ‘supple, balanced seat,’ and the know-how to use it to influence your horse.
Imagine…
No more ‘movement ruts’ 
Your body cooperates with your every wish.
No more crooked You sit with ease and make choices with awareness while riding.
No more gripping Your legs drape down and around your horse for a sensitive feel.
No more braced up horse Digging seat bones are replaced with a new understanding and control of your balance in movement.
No more bouncing or stiffness You know how to ‘allow’ the horse’s motion to go through you.
No more hearing the same thing over and over and over again You can hear the feedback once then ‘be your own trainer’ to release habitual ways of moving/riding and open up for the new possibilities.
Never act out of compulsion or frustration You know how the smallest movement in one part of your body changes the whole body, and how doing less can get you more.
No more tripping or stuck on the forehand Your horse responds to your new ‘center’ with long, swinging strides.
Reduce or eliminate aches & pains Your new ‘movement patterns’ bring relief to your joints & muscles and a restoration of F.L.O.W. to your body - in & out of the saddle. Bad habits retire Freeing your body & focus to have a ‘seat conversation’ with your horse.
Break the cycle of frustration and negative self talk Your body knowledge reliably leads you to steady progress & confidence.
Introducing
Successful Woman Rider Course
New Course Begins March 2, 2021
What this means for you
What this means for you in this program is your personal history of bad habits, aches & pains, successes & frustrations serve as your starting point as you recreate elegant ‘movement patterns’ to rewrite your riding journey to become the rider you imagine yourself to be.
It means you are empowered to create ‘Riding Habits By Design.’
Since 2014 I’ve been teaching online courses to women riders all around the world. I created dozens of training programs and workshops and courses and what I’ve learned is this…
There are 10 key riding foundations ‘movement patterns’ that you need no matter what your riding discipline or number of years of experience.
So I decided to do something radical.
I wiped my entire training library clean and restarted with a fresh slate to simplify and streamline the journey from ‘impossible’ to ‘elegant’ for my students.
I even retired my flagship programs, ‘Square In The Saddle In 7 Weeks,’ ‘Relaxed & Confident Rider’ & ‘Ride As One,’ because once you understand these 10 movement patterns and embody them in your riding you become square in the saddle, relaxed & confident, and you ride as one.
The result is my new course, presented for the first time (BETA).
Without further ado, I present the ‘Successful Woman Rider’ course to you.
What’s Happening
Big Picture Overview
10 Week ‘Successful Woman Rider’ Course taught by Feldenkrais Practitioner Heather Beachum.
10 Weekly ‘Feldenkrais Concept Lessons’ This is the ‘knowledge’ portion of your class where you learn the what & why of each common rider struggle. These concepts are the key to breaking bad habits and relearning/learning riding skills that allow you to have a supple stability on your horse.
10 Weekly ‘Feldenkrais Movement Lessons.’ This is the ‘know-how’ portion of your class that you do OFF your horse to:
Reveal Your True Riding Abilities
Learn how to become the kind of woman that rides alive in her ability to coordinate her movements and body with ease, enjoys a relaxed focus on her horse & makes steady progress without 10,000 hours of ‘trying so hard to do it right.’
Find out why it is that the harder you try the worse everything gets (no it’s not just you), and what to do instead.
Discover the interconnection between your riding struggles and your aches & pains, how improving one improves them both for your personal best in the saddle.
Gain confidence to be your own ‘seat evaluator.’
Replace Misunderstandings With Clarity
The goal isn’t to be the one who suffers the most for her art, but rather, it’s to be a rider who is proud of every ride.
Learn how common seat corrections actually make you more tension and crooked, and what to do instead with relaxed effectiveness.
Learn the real intention behind every riding instruction and how to translate what is in your head to your body with unparalleled deftness to create a lovely improvement in real time.
No worries if you aren’t riding right now, you will reap the benefits when you do get back in the saddle.
10 ‘Feldenkrais Visualization Sessions.’ Visualization is widely known as a powerful tool, all levels of riders use it including Olypians.
It is so powerful that you can visualize your way to bad habits as easily as you can visualize your way to a lovely, flowing seat.
It’s all in the details.
Here’s what you gain from your specifically designed for the woman rider Visualizations:
These sessions are excellent to do if you are riding regularly, unable to ride at all, to do at home, as a pre-ride unmounted preparation or a pre-ride mounted preparation.
‘Successful Woman Rider’ Course Details
The 10 Common Woman Rider Problems Solved For You Once And For All
Rider Struggle 1: HEELS DOWN!
‘Heels Down’ is a prime example of an ‘unclarity of language that ends up causing misunderstandings.’ You’re told what to do (over and over again), but not why or HOW. So the rider does her best to comply with the instruction unaware that this lack of HOW results in never ending tension & imbalance
Until now. This week, you learn why Heels Down matters, and HOW to achieve this riding skill. You’ll discover the ‘sweet spot,’ that place where you are fully engaged in your riding and completely relaxed at the same time.
You’ll feel the difference in your body right away, and your horse on your very next ride! 
And, finding the ‘sweet spot’ is a theme that weaves through the course so will soon be 2nd nature to you.
Rider Struggle 2: SHOULDERS BACK!
URGHHHH! Clearly hearing ‘Shoulders Back’ a million times doesn’t work because they never stay there.
Nor is this a reflection of your ‘ability’ to ride. Not at all because this happens for a reason.
That is, your shoulders can’t stay back because your shoulders aren’t the problem, they are a symptom of a problem which is...
Riding with ease and balance can only happen when you work as a system, when every part of you participates. This is a fundamental truth to all riding disciplines, and a theme that runs through this course.
This week, you’ll discover the connection between your shoulders, back and pelvis so your shoulders can slide back and stay there.
I think you’ll be amazed at how quickly you improve now that you ‘work as a system.’
Rider Struggle 3: Tipped Forward
You are not alone. Most every woman rider deals with this difficulty, and strains in vain to sit back.
Why is that?
There are a few factors at play here. A woman’s pelvis naturally sits more in front of the center than a man’s (that business of having babies). Also, it can be a defensive fear based position (falling), and all tension creates imbalance.
But this doesn’t mean you can’t ‘sit back,’ because you can.
The answer is always to ‘work as a system,’ and this week you recalibrate your center through proprioception - where you are in space.
It feels a little weird at first because you aren’t used to it, but, every system in your body will soon adopt it because nature strives for ease…
And so does your horse…this change in your center is the link between your ‘sweet spot’ and your horse stepping his hind legs under to carry you with ease.
Rider Struggle 4: SIT STRAIGHT!
Sit straight is often interpreted as being rigid and your back concaves because no one really explains how to do it.
Then the harder you try the worse everything gets.
The reason is that you are using the wrong kind of ‘trying hard.’
Until now.
In this week’s module you discover another option available to you, that is The Art Of ‘Feel,’ the very feel you want your horse to have.
What you experience in the movement lesson is the interconnection between muscles, bone and flexibility so your entire torso stacks and feels light and full of promise.
It is freeing to not lift and crunch and be stiff as a board and to stop struggling.
It is especially freeing when you ‘feel’ how this posture can be as soft as it is stable to follow your horse’s motion...your horse will release his neck & exhale.
Rider Struggle 5: Crooked
Has this ever happened to you? You put yourself in the middle of the saddle, determined to stay there this time, and you do, until the second you think of something else, then BAM! You go right back to crooked. URGHHH!
Then you lose that one stirrup, again. Or your foot goes through the other one.
When will it end!
The answer is today, because in this week’s class you offer your balance system a better deal.
You can count on the positive outcome because every system in your body works to keep you safe.
As the distribution of your weight and balance improves, tension reduces & flow begins… and your horse becomes lighter. As your riding becomes easier and more rewarding the negative self talk stops, replaced by thoughts of ‘I can.’
It’s all connected.
Rider Struggle 6: LOOK UP!
Sounds so easy to do, but nope, it isn’t.
The eyes and the head carriage greatly impact the ‘sweet spot.’
What I mean is when a rider’s body knowledge doesn’t ‘work as a system’ then the weight of your ‘bowling ball’ head forces you to stiffen and hold yourself on the horse...your horse braces in response.
Also, the eyes set the tonus for the entire body. What I’m talking about is beyond soft eyes, that’s true yes, but not complete.
I’m talking about your eyes being part of your ‘movement patterns,’ and in this week’s class, recreating a movement cooperation.
This translates to a head-to-toe flowing body that can influence your horse with refinement, what direction to go in, what gait you’d like, how slow, how fast.
Rider Struggle 7: Lopsided
You know in your head what you want your body to do, but you can’t get your body to do it, URGHHHH!
And this unevenness makes your horse crooked with choppy gaits. Your circles are shaped like potatoes, and your corners are a shoving match.
Though no one will ever be perfectly symmetrical, we can all improve and improve to come closer to this alignment.
In this week’s module you gain clarity about why one side collapses, and how to ‘reorganize’ your movement so your muscle memory can give you what you want...a posture that is attractive and functional at the same time meaning a seat that is dynamic so you can follow your horse’s motion while in the ‘sweet spot.’
Rider Struggle 8: Gripping Legs
No one wants to grip.
But the trouble is knowing not know what else to do.
The solution starts with the symptom/cause evaluation. As is often the case, the gripping isn’t a problem, it’s a symptom of a problem.
The root cause of gripping with the legs is not knowing how to transmit the motion of the horse through you. So every once of the horse’s motion either has you bouncing all over the place or gripping to stay on. Yuck!
But that ends with this class.
Because this is when you discover exactly how to make this ‘must have’ skill yours.
It is safe to say that once you have this, you’ll be clear on how the rider you admire sits so quietly on her horse.
And, with this comes a new found confidence in you. What was once so mysterious is now so clear, and is now yours.
Rider Struggle 9: HANDS DOWN!
Everyone says you can’t have good hands until you have an ‘independent’ seat.
BUT...while that is true, it’s not the whole picture.
What I mean is that gaining body knowledge about your hands not only serves your hands, but your seat too...this is a dichotomy of riding, for you move your body with coordination and independence the interdependence of your movement patterns needs to be valued and incorporated.
This week you learn how to have your hands down in a way that lets you coordinate your hands, seat and legs so all your aids make sense to your horse.
Rider Struggle 10: CONFIDENCE!
This week I will plan as the program progresses, this way I can be sure to teach what best answers your questions and expands your understanding.
A true celebration of you and everything you have achieved in this course.
Each week of the Successful Woman Rider course includes One 1-hour class, you can attend live or catch the recording.
Once you register you will immediately receive an email granting you LIFETIME ACCESS to your ‘realistic & optimistic & empowering’ training.
Until just a few short years ago, learning how to ride where you step into your full potential as a rider in a matter of weeks was unheard of. You’d invest thousands of dollars in private lessons, riding workshops, and dedicate YEARS to practicing and plateauing until *fingers-crossed* one day you figure it out on your own (all the while pretty sure you’ll be correcting your seat till your dying day).
But you don’t have to wait years. Nor do you have to pay thousands of dollars for lessons only to hear the same thing over and over again, Or the the negative self-talk loop ‘someday I’ll get it.’ When you join Successful Woman Rider course during this special one-time BETA you’re going to get the full 10-module program for just $297. That’s far less than a lesson bundle or clinic.
(Full Course Value is $1500. But you won’t pay that!)
But above all else…
The Successful Woman Rider Course will give you the inner understanding to finally reach your full potential as a rider, and make the ‘mature woman rider’ leap from settling for less & negative self talk to total empowerment
that can only come from a ‘seat’ that is stable & strong, relaxed and balanced, and can invisibly influence your horse.
Guaranteed you’ll see a difference on your very next ride!
“The Judge's comments now include FLOWING, FORWARD and ROUND!”
“Before I worked with Heather I struggled with imbalances and tension, not sitting evenly, holding my breath and unsteady contact. None of the instructors or courses I took helped me. I felt overwhelmed because I was on a vicious cycle of tension with my horse.
Shortly after Heather’s program began, I was able to makes the changes I want in my riding, and that has resulted in me being a more consistent rider. I also received my highest marks yet winning a first and fourth place.
Now, I’m enjoying my riding again, my lessons are happier and more productive for my horse, and judge’s comment now include “flowing, forward and round!” Thank you, Heather, riding is fun again.”
"The Difference In The Way I Ride Is Glorious!"
“Before working with Heather all the effort I put into my riding left me tense with labored breathing which made my horse stiff and unresponsive.
Her program gave me so much insight into myself, my body and my mind, and through it I have improved my body awareness, and the difference in the way I ride is glorious. I have greater self-confidence, and my horses are happy and much more connected with me and vice versa. This is the most fantastic course I have had the privilege to be part of. I cannot thank Heather enough for sharing her knowledge and expertise.”

"I’m Cantering Happily And Making Steady Progress!"
"Before I started working with Heather, I was held back in my riding from tension trying to hold myself in place, holding my breath, and a fear of falling. I was taking lessons with excellent instructors, riding regularly, working on my physical fitness, particularly my core, but the improvements were minimal, at best.
Since I've been working with Heather, I recognize how I've been fighting myself and not even knowing it. Now, I’m cantering happily and in a lovely circle!!!! I LOVE it!
Also, I have rediscover balance and relaxation in the saddle, and with it, my joy of riding. My new accomplishments bring respect to my horse’s body and mind, and we are now making steady progress together. Heather has helped me in a way no riding instructor ever has! Thank You Heather!

Just check out Lana’s story about her transformation, even though she wasn’t riding consistently...
“Now, I melt into the saddle and move with my horse. No thinking about it, IT JUST HAPPENED!”
“Before working with Heather, I was stiff and crooked, and wasn’t moving with my horse at all unless I forced it.
After one class I was more centered, and, much to my surprise, after a couple of weeks into the course, I melted into the saddle, moved with my horse and felt better than I ever remember in the saddle. It just happened. No thinking about it, or straining to do it.
Then after the program I went on a trail ride. Not only did my horse break into a trot, but he cantered and jumped up a river bank. I was able to go with him every step of the way and felt confident in doing so. I can't wait to get back up on my own horses. I highly recommend Heather's classes as a way to improve your riding, even if you aren't riding at the time. Thank you Heather!”

Frequently Asked Questions
This means it is the first run of a new course. Yes, the Successful Woman Rider Course springs from 3 past courses, but that content is being reorganized, taught in new ways plus there is new material added.
I have the BETA modules outlined, but I revamp as we go. This means there is an element of flexibility that goes with a BETA. For instance, the schedule may change as I create new content to fully meet your desires & needs.
In exchange for your willingness to flow with the course creation you get to really get your voice heard, and you get automatic enrollment in the finished version of the course when I run it again, for no additional fee (plus any added bonuses).
I want this to be a win-win for you, me and every rider who joins us!
I LOVE this question. Hands down, there are great riding programs out there.
You can work with an instructor in group and private lessons. I’ve personally taken thousands of hours in riding lessons, read every well-known book on riding, watched videos, used metaphors & visualization, sat on swivel chairs, and gone through multiple fitness & stretching programs. All of which are valuable in their own right.
However, you will not find a training program out there like the Successful Woman Rider Course.
Instead of pointing out what you need to fix, drilling you with information, and telling you what you’re doing wrong, what I teach you breaks bad habits previously thought to be right, you relearn an ease you thought long gone that recalibrates your center and your balance and transforms your muscle memory from pitched forward, humpty-dumpty like, slumped back into a long, relaxed, following seat that happens automatically.
I teach you easy ways to build on top of that so you know in your bones the how and why of what you do to ride with the classical line in all the gaits.
You will not experience an empowerment like this anywhere else.
This is such a great question as the Successful Woman Rider Course mounted lessons are completely unique, and if you are riding right now, an added asset to your progress.
Your mounted lesson is downloaded onto the device of your choice. From there, have you and your horse in a place where you feel safe, that might be a round pen or an open field, you may prefer to be alone or with people around...it’s entirely up to you.
Then the recording guides you through a session that brings everything you learned during the workshop onto your horse. It is specifically designed for you to learn how to allow your horse move freely and to follow this movement. You feel what a “correct” seat is, and how to direct your horse with simple shifts in your weight that he can feel, but keep you centered and safe.
You do not have to canter.
Every recording is done at the walk, and I recommend you start there even if you are a very advanced rider. Once you have gone through it, feel free to revisit the lesson at the trot or canter if you want to.
Absolutely! And not only that, you’ll get 3x more out of every hour you ride whether you’re on a leased horse, a friend’s horse or a lesson horse.
Here’s the reason...the classes, unmounted and mounted session develop your “circuitry,” your “muscle memory,” your “habit” of being centered and stable so you arrive at the barn feeling prepared and confident.
This is the only program that can give you this rewarding learning experience.
Definitely! In fact, every rider I’ve supported over the past 10 years has been entirely online whether she lives nearby or abroad.
Below you can read about some of these women from around the world who transformed the way they ride from gripping, holding and struggling to riding quietly, feeling calm and confident emboldening them to take on new riding adventures.
This is the only program that delivers the highly prized quality in riding of being square in the middle of your horse automatically - these ladies did it with ease and so can you.
The unmounted portion of the workshop is 1 hour a week. You can join the unmounted workshop live and/or go through the program at your own pace because you have lifetime access to the program, materials and bonuses.
Just as with any training, you will still need to set time aside in order to complete each module. Many of the women who have gone through the program have reported that this training replaced many of the outdated exercises they were trying previously. You’ll find that you actually save time by going through them because you’ll be eliminating old techniques that get you fighting yourself.
YES! In fact, this workshop is perfect for you because it will bring you the best functioning possible for your situation, and may very possibly get rid of stiffness and pain entirely - I can say this because it has for dozens upon dozens of women riders just like you!
YES! Bring your hardware because many, many riders before you already have. You will walk away with the best possible outcome of mobility and stability from the program. Above you can read about Judi Qualls, who had ankle replacement, and hear what she gained from working with me.
That depends. Here’s what you need to do this course… a stool or chair with no arms, a place to sit and lay down, a device to watch the recordings, and a device to listen to the mounted sessions.
You may find you already have these items available to you right now.
YES! I am here to answer any questions you may have in our private facebook group. You have lifetime access, and I’m in there consistently so you’ll have your answer in no time.
YES! This course is unmounted so you can gain all the benefit from the unmounted session, and if/when you are riding again everything you gained will go automatically with you into the saddle with you. And you then have the mounted session to support you if you want.
This was Lana’s experience with this program, and you can read more about her above.
You’ll receive an email from me with all the details for your Successful Woman Rider Course... how to attend live, how to access your private Membership Dashboard with the recordings and class materials, how to join our private Facebook group...all the juicy stuff.
From there, all you have to do is enjoy your classes and what your horse has to say about the new you!
Your Course Instructor: Heather Beachum
"To many, the words love, hope and dreams are synonymous with horses."
~ Author Unknown
Heather Beachum is dedicated to women horseback riders 40+ to ride with a calm, quiet posture, dissolve bad habits and develop new skills with ease.
If you are looking for a proven professional who can guide you in resolving tension, inconsistency and not being able to move your body the way you would like to, you’ve come to the right place. With 10 years of experience working with 100’s of amazing riders in 6 countries with similar worries and concerns, and guiding them to achieve remarkable success, Heather’s mission and commitment is to support you in riding with the classical line as you and your horse cover the ground together.
Her path to become a Feldenkrais® practitioner became clear when she returned to riding as an adult, and soon discovered that the fearless rider of her youth is now a sensible woman in a different body. It was heartbreaking for her to see her horse happy when someone else rode him, but struggling and unhappy when she was in the saddle. All traditional approaches brought a meager, if any return, so she trained as a movement professional to learn how effortless movement is recaptured and brought into her riding so she and her horse can love all their rides together.
Clients say remarkable things about the impact her work has had on their riding and connection to their horse. Such as,
“Heather has profoundly improved my ‘seat’ in no other way that any other instructor has been able to over my 30 years of riding. I have never sat so deep in the saddle with such a secure feeling …,”
“Her Feldenkrais techniques have helped me sit a better trot and improve my rein contact,”
“....rather than trying to create the moment. I was able to just "BE" in the moment. It was amazing to feel my horse relax and "GO" with the moment too.”
The decades are flying by, and the truth is there are no more decades to wait. Your time is now, and just like these ladies, you CAN do.
