Building Relationships that Work

One of the most important parts of a relationship is the trust between  horse and rider that comes from knowing each other’s roles. Each relationship in our lives has components that must be present for each to perform their roles at their peak: Each part of the team has to know what their individual job is. My horse carries me, she performs her tasks of carrying my body’s weight, she protects me, and she performs beautiful jumps as well as provides  pleasure as we journey.  If I was expected to carry her load, if she expected me to sit under her, instead of on, her we both might have a bumpy ride.  Strong partnerships begin with identifying the role we each bring to the barn. There are many moving parts of a successful business, the feeding of our minds, the grooming of our offerings, the daily stretching and the enjoyment of our talents. As in my life at the barn, the work is present daily, but the rewards of our work is an amazing relationship that we both look forward to daily. We have to be in  relationship together, working through the learning, the  activities, and taking time to celebrate together the rewards of our work.

Trust is important to me, to my business. The ability to know I offer a strong product, I deliver a consistent level of customer and team member care is no less important to me than the trust I have developed with my horse. Both thrive in an environment of skillful attention, play, and stretching to be the winners they are!

Believing in solid foundations, effective choices, and reaping the rewards of a great business
