Let’s do this together. 💪💕🐴

You are allowed to dream big.

I mean that. Really let that land.

Because somewhere along the way most of us stopped giving ourselves permission. We got older. We got injured. Life got complicated. And the dreams got quieter.

I had a student who told me three years ago she wanted to ride Liberty with her horse out in nature. No tack. No arena. Just connection. I remember thinking how beautiful that was. And then three years later she sent me videos of herself doing exactly that.

She gave herself permission first. The rest followed.

I stopped riding for over twenty years after I broke my back and pelvis. I told myself I would never jump again. I jumped the first day back. Not because I was reckless but because the dream never actually died. It was just waiting for me to say yes to it again.

So many of us are waiting for someone to tell us it is okay. To go after the thing. To believe our body can do it. To trust that we are not too old or too broken or too far behind.

You are not too anything.

Your body is more capable than you think. Your mind is stronger than you give it credit for. And the dream you keep pushing down is trying to tell you something.

Nothing is impossible. I have lived that. My students have lived that. And you can too.

Dream big. You are allowed.

If you are ready to start building the strength and confidence to go after what you really want, send me a message. I would love to help you get there.

Never underestimate the importance of movement and the overall health benefits of exercise.

Witnessing my dad having his first heart attack when he was 32 set me on a path to doing my best to ensure my own health and longevity, but also has been a driving force behind what I do as a Physical Therapist and Swish Fitness.

However and wherever you choose to exercise, keep moving and stay strong!

I don’t think I ever stop thinking about how to help people with their fitness for riding! 🐴💕🐴

Swish Fitness for Equestrians was created to help riders improve any and all aspects of their riding. I have honed 30+ years as a Physical Therapist and combined it with my riding experience, to create classes that are super effective and fun at the same time! 💪

You can join in person or live stream two times per week. Plus there are over 200 previous classes in the membership portal ready and waiting for you to use anytime and anywhere.

Let’s combine some excellent movements while creating stability through the core and shoulder blades at the same time!

➡️ Creates an ability to hold your body steady while hinging through the hips = ability to move with your horse over a jump without collapsing.
*It also helps recovery on the landing side.

➡️Creates the ability to move your shoulders while keeping your shoulder blades steady = ability to follow your horse with your arms while still holding your shoulders back and down.

➡️ Create a dynamic movement, coordinating the upper and lower body at the same time = better rhythm on your horse and ability to have coordination through movement.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Keep moving forward and stay strong.💪🐴💕

The moments of decision that shape your life.

In 1995, a running partner handed me 30 days of Tony Robbins tapes. I listened. I learned about goals, mindset, what you focus on. Years later, I'm driving and his face passes by me on a bus. I took it as a sign.

That decision changed everything.

I signed up for the VIP event. I invested in coaching. And that single moment of saying yes to something that called to me became the foundation for how I approach everything now.

A decision isn't always a big, dramatic thing. Sometimes it's quiet. Sometimes it feels small in the moment. But the ones that matter are the ones where you just know. Where something inside you says this is it.

Those moments compound. They shape not just your goals, but who you become.

What moment of decision has shaped your life? Save this if it resonates, or share it with someone who needs the reminder that their yes matters.

Exciting news! With 200+ Fitness Classes (and over 30 years experience as a Physical Therapist), Swish Fitness is ready for its next phase.

We are now in a new beautiful space at Carousel Ridge on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM. Come join us in person (or Livestream)to get stronger, more supple, and enjoy a great group of people. Plus everything we do off the horse in these classes helps you develop the strength, balance, flexibility and movement patterns you need on the horse as well. It’s designed for you!
