In this episode, Miranda breaks down a truth most riders never hear: doing well with your horse isn’t always about willpower or trying harder.
Your horse isn’t giving you a hard time — he’s having a hard time. And sometimes, so are you. Miranda shares how shifting from force and frustration to curiosity and skill-building can change everything about your confidence and your connection.
You’ll hear why “trying harder” often keeps both you and your horse stuck, what actually helps when things go sideways, and how developing the right skills — not pushing through — leads to better rides, better communication, and a better experience for both of you.
If you’re feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or like you “should be farther along,” this episode will help you breathe, reset, and see a new path forward.

Winter doesn’t have to derail your horsemanship.
In this episode, we talk about simple, effective ways to keep your horse mentally fit even when riding isn’t an option. From groundwork that builds softness and connection, to understanding how the thinking side of your horse’s brain works, you’ll learn how just a few intentional minutes can make a big difference.
I share my own experiences from long Michigan and Montana winters — including the evenings spent doing groundwork in the headlights of my Chevy Malibu — and how those cold months shaped some of the best foundational work I’ve ever had with my horses.
If you’re feeling discouraged by the weather, limited time, or lack of an indoor, this episode will help you find confidence, motivation, and a fresh perspective on winter horsemanship.
