“You’re not great because you’ve never failed. You’re great because failure has never stopped you.” - Confucius #beyourbesthorsemanship #mindsetmatters #mindsetmastery #winningmentality #personaldevelopment #mindset #failure #success #perspective #perseverance #growthmindset
We’re getting into that season where our “by the end of the year” to do list can start to feel overwhelming. When those feelings of overwhelm kick in, finish that cup of coffee, and pick one thing to get started with. Get moving. Get one thing crossed off your list. Get some traction. When it seems like there are more tasks than hours in the day, just remember: all you can do is the best you can do. #beyourbesthorsemanship
Any day that starts with Bluebonnet is a good day 🐴💙 #BluebonnetFeeds
What advice would I give to my 25-year-old self? ➡️ Enjoy the process. Keep showing up. Implement your plan. Understand that if you don’t learn how to enjoy the process, the results will never be enough to make you happy. So, just enjoy every day, and understand that every day is a day you don’t get back. Make the most of today, and appreciate both the highs and lows. Today and every day, be your best. #beyourbesthorsemanship
When we talk about the importance of having a strong foundation to fall back on, I believe there’s no foundational component that is more important than the horse’s nutrition. No amount of training can make up for a horse that has behavioral issues that are caused by underlying health issues or gaps in their nutrition program. We have to set ourselves up for success by ensuring that our horses have the fuel they need to feel their best, and in turn, perform their best.That’s why we’re proud to partner with a feed company who is committed to going the extra mile to keep our horses at an elite level—Bluebonnet 💙 Head over to philhaugenhorsemanship.com/sponsors to learn more about why we trust Bluebonnet with our horses’ nutritional foundation, and set up a free feed consultation with one of their experts. #bluebonnet #feedwhatmatters #beyourbest
Aside from training, there are many important aspects of our daily care and maintenance routines that play a role in the success of our performance horse training program. On this week’s episode of the #beyourbesthorsemanship podcast, we welcomed Senior Equine Professional Services Veterinarian from Merck Animal Health, Dr. Cara Wright, onto the show to share her expertise and advice on preventative care, biosecurity, and deworming routines. Tune into Episode 246 to learn more!#BeUnconditional #MerckAnimalHealth #beyourbesthorsemanship
When we look at a horse’s progress, it is easy to compare one horse to another and feel like one of them is “behind.” But the truth is, “behind” is a term that we make up. There is no set timeline to training. The only timelines are the ones that we create for ourselves. So, when we feel like a horse is “behind,” it is only because we have set an unrealistic timeline for the horse based on the level of preparation that we can realistically commit to. You have to have realistic expectations of where you can get to in the time you have available. #beyourbesthorsemanship

The price of progress 💲The truth is, progress does not exist without challenges. Throughout the journey, there will be seasons of growth. There will be seasons of sacrifice. There will be seasons of pain. There will be seasons of failure. But throughout all of those seasons, there will be opportunities to grow. There will be opportunities to learn. There will be opportunities to become better. There will be oppportunites to see your efforts pay off in big ways. Don’t shy away from the challenges for the sake of being comfortable. The biggest rewards often follow the biggest challenges. #beyourbesthorsemanship
Failure is not the opposite of success — it’s a part of success. Success doesn’t mean always succeeding — it means always learning. Those who fail and learn get farther than those who never try and never fail. Remember, some of the greatest discoveries on earth were a result of repeated failures. Don’t shy away from putting yourself in the position to learn. Understand that every failure is an opportunity to learn, and embrace the opportunity to fail. #beyourbesthorsemanship
Let’s fill the comments section with gratitude on this Sunday morning 🙏🏼 Practicing gratitude is such a simple, yet powerful, habit. When you train your mind to see the good and count your blessings, you begin to recognize just how many blessings there are. Even in the midst of challenging times, there is always something to be grateful for. Let us know what you’re feeling grateful for today 👆🏼#beyourbesthorsemanship
The secret to success isn’t consistency—it’s consistently learning to start again. There will be many occasions where life doesn’t go according to plan. When you are working on being consistent, it is hard to skip a day without feeling like you’ve failed. But the truth is, life is going to happen. There are going to be missed days, no matter how hard you try to avoid them. There are going to be unexpected things that pop up that take priority. When this happens, don’t beat yourself up over one missed routine. Just get started again. Do one thing that creates a little momentum in your day. Then, do one more thing. Then, another. Remember, one bad day doesn’t have to turn into two. Simply start again. #beyourbesthorsemanship
