I’m going to tell you a personal story to demonstrate to you the power of your Equi-Energy Gems.  I have been fortunate enough to have ponies and horses since I was a young child.  In those days, we boarded our horses (self-care) at a farm not too far from our home.  Although it was close and the convenience allowed me to get there at least twice every day, it was not the amazing facility I longed for.  Like most young equestrians, I dreamed about owning my own horse farm someday.  Sound familiar? One day I was hand grazing one of...

What is the difference between short term and long term goals and which are most impactful to our riding?  Short term goals are goals that can be reached within a year (usually a week, or a month) and long term goals after that. Both are important for our riding success!  As a matter of fact, I wear two Equi-Energy Gem Malas together.  One to represent my short term goals and one to represent my longer ones.  Understanding how they work together and how you can leverage them to your Equi-Energy Gems Mala, will empower you to set and reach your...

Is my trailer inspected?  Can we get the ring dragged?  When is the blacksmith coming?  Then at the competition it starts all over with more. What time should I braid? Are my boots clean?  Did I pack my gloves? The list goes on and on. I know because...

Mala beads have been used for centuries as a meditation tool in Buddhism and Hinduism culture.  More recently, they have been incorporated into the practice of yoga. The beads are used to keep track of the number of mantras (a word or phrase to express a belief or intention) chanted as you work your way around the bracelet. Traditionally, mantra count should be 7, 21, 27 or 108 at one sitting. The malas can be made of various round beads but those considered the most powerful are made with a variety of natural gemstones which are unique and thought to...
