Changing Lives With A Horse, (Of Course)!

Episode 107: Deworming!

Some of us love it, some of us hate it!  Deworming time can be a bit of a challenge, but join us to hear some tips and tricks on how to make it a little easier! 

Episode 106: Twisted Roots! Lets chat with another family business!

We had the pleasure of meeting the Twisted Roots family while at the heart of the horse and we were so inspired by their story - not to mention taken with their beautiful products - that we just had to share! 

Episode 105: All for the horses!

The day you stop learning is the day you take the old dirt nap! At Equine Connection, we believe that it is essential that we continually learn about what is best for our horses to make sure that we are doing the best by them.  This is the most important piece that came out of our yearly conference is our learning from Chris Irwin.  We can always do better for our horses.

Episode 104: Guest Genevieve Nicholas talks making her biz happen!

Well, other than being horse mad and a little bit out there, wherever that is, Gen is a seasoned entrepreneur who has a passion for horses and being outdoors. Originally from Victoria, Australia, Gen now lives in the state of Texas, on the other side of the Pacific Pond, having made the move with her husband and two children back in 2012.   
A previous franchise owner of the most successful cafe chain in Australasia, with five branches across Sydney, backed with a strong career in corporate accounting and extensive leadership experience with a global corporate company, Gen is no stranger to success.
That said, hitting her forties with a life most women could only have dreamed of Gen was uninspired and done with the corporate life.  She was also done with the BS that went with it, and ready for a fresh start doing what she loved, with women who inspired her.  
Her no-nonsense approach to life and getting to the ridiculousness of situations with a giggle and a stern look, is proving to be a winning formula. Working with already successful women who are ‘DONE with it all’ and looking for a lifestyle change, ready to scale their solopreneur business to the next level, Gen brings a fresh perspective, and not just because of all the time she spends outside. She gets her clients to dig deep and explore effective methods to help develop boundaries in their lives and improve communication with family, friends, and colleagues.
Her ideal clients are ladies and teen girls who love the outdoors and are ready to roll their sleeves up and muck out the old, making way for a new kick-ass life, leaping over hurdles, and relaxing with the sun going down. These ladies are in for a treat though, because not only do they get Gen to work with, but they also get to work with Gen’s co-coaches, her unicorns:
Spirit, Moose, Breeze, Pinky, and Remy.
Get is one of Equine Connection's fabulous facilitators and in this podcast talks about being new in the game and how to effectively market yourself; trying different things such as her latest Pilot Program called Discovering You and how her networking has led to client referrals for teen girls. A MUST for anyone considering this phenomenal career! https://www.saddleuplifeskills.com/

Find out why we know nothing… 😜
That is always the first step in any learning journey. Admitting that we know nothing. We may know A LOT, but in the grand scheme of things, there is so much more we can learn! Being open to learning more, retraining our brain, or even adapting our habits is how we can ultimately be the best we can be.
