Why Your New Year Needs More Horse Wisdom
If you are like us, you are already feeling the pull of the New Year—that powerful urge to set ambitious goals, clean the slate, and finally get control of the rhythm of your life.
But if you are also like us, you know that simply making resolutions isn't enough. Many of us, especially those accustomed to giving generously of ourselves, find that our good intentions quickly get scattered and squandered. We end up moving into the year feeling run ragged, not focused.
We discovered the answer here at the ranch.
The Unexpected Lesson in Agency
We spend our days teaching people how to ride, but the horses end up teaching us the most profound lessons about agency and clarity.
Think about it: A horse doesn't resist being led. It resists unclear direction. If the rider holds a loose, hesitant, or messy rein, the horse will meander, stop, or even create chaos. The horse is simply asking, Where are we going?
This is the Loose Rein Trap in our own lives: We confuse being perpetually "nice" or "flexible" with being truly kind. We leave the reins of our energy loose, and the pressures of obligation—the endless tasks and demands—drag us along. We feel exhausted, not because we aren't trying hard, but because we lack a defined, confident course.
A New Approach for the Year of the Horse
2026 is the Year of the Horse—a year symbolizing swift, energetic action. This is the perfect time to claim that energy for yourself.
We created the Take the Reins workshop to share the simple, direct truths we learn in the saddle:
How to stop "smoothing things over" for others and use that energy for yourself.
How to set a firm, clear direction that is generous, yet unyielding.
How to confidently connect with your own power so that your action finally matches your intention.
This 60-minute virtual workshop is your chance to step away from the chaos and learn how to use your inner reins to find genuine, effortless flow.
Stop Coasting. Start Steering.
If you are ready to walk into the New Year feeling grounded, decisive, and fully present, this new course is your first, decisive step.
2026 is the Year of the Horse. Claim your power and take the reins.
