In this episode, I share my personal journey with humility —how it has positively shaped my relationships and my work with horses.

Humility is about embracing modesty, releasing pride and arrogance, and seeing yourself as part of something greater.

On a deeper level, it’s recognizing your imperfections, your mistakes, and your limitations as a human being.

An example? Being humble means acknowledging a weakness in the moment, sitting with that discomfort, and allowing it to guide you toward growth—instead of pushing it away or pretending it’s not there.

When I returned to horses 25 years ago, I was humbled—I knew nothing! 🫢
Before I became a devoted student of many disciplines, I understood one thing: I needed the right attitude and a growth mindset.

I gave myself two years to travel, study, and learn. With just enough money to support myself and my three horses, I had to make every moment count.

My mantra became:
- Be open
- Be mindful
- Admit when I messed up
- Ask for help when needed

How to Show Humility
- Listen attentively to others' ideas
- Admit when you've made a mistake
- Ask for help when needed
- Give credit to others for their contributions
- Let your work and actions speak for themselves

I’ve learned that in all relationships—whether with myself, others, or horses—the ego often blocks flow, peace, and harmony.

Letting go of ego wasn’t easy, but what made it possible was my attitude:
Be humble, be brave, and always be mindful of what your horse needs.
