🚫📱 Here at Soaring Dreams Ranch,
we have a no phone policy with horses.

Think about it:
Every time your phone dings
Every time your phone vibrates
Every time your phone gives you a notification
The phone gets your attention. instantly.

Not only does that distract you, it simultaneously distracts your horse.
They can feel your attention shift off of them.
Why are you at the barn?

So sure, take a few photos or videos, so you can share your happiness… but the rest of the time your phone is put away!

🐴"Our phones create incredible opportunities for streamlining our daily tasks and increasing our efficiency, but not when riding and communicating with our horses. When your phone starts to compromise your mindfulness, mental strength and peace of mind with your horse, it's an issue you need to address."🐴
~ Tonya Johnston, MA

Every time you look at your phone, your attention is immediately absorbed in some other aspect of your life. Equestrian mental-skills coach Tonya Johnston shares an inspiring sans-phone story and offers practical tips to manage your phone time at the barn.

This week’s Lesson Theme:
🔸🔶🔸Confidence🔸🔶🔸

It’s a mindset, yes.

An attitude, absolutely!

It’s something that needs to be practiced day-in & day-out in order to gain EVEN MORE confidence and GROW.

Sometimes that means focusing on your weakest spots ...actually, more often than not, that means focusing on your weakest spots. And it can truly be a very fun process as your learn to gain confidence in areas that once seemed overwhelming or even out of reach.

And then one day you’ll confidently look at your accomplishments —those things that have become so easy— which used to be those weak spots.

This week in lessons we are intentionally working through very specific things that are personalized to each individual student.

But what each individual student brings to the lesson— their mindset, their openness to grow, listen, learn, observe, be shaped, and put in the hard work themselves is what enables ✨ YOUR DREAMS COMING TRUE! ✨
