Wow! The past 30 days has been amazing. It’s hard to put into words. For those of you that don’t know, last month I launched my new course the “30 Days to Round Challenge”. I had never done a course in this type of format, but I was keen to try. The response has been incredible, and well- I go into more detail in the video, but you can also check out some of the responses from students here.
Before we announce the official “winners” I wanted to congratulate each and every one of you for your participation in the 30 Days to Round Challenge. I was blown away by the transformations that I saw and it just goes to show you that when you set your mind to something and have the education and support you need you can do incredible things.
Whether you completed every single exercise and saw an incredible transformation with your horse, your horse came up lame/sore and life got in the way of your training, or you really didn’t see a huge change in your horse, I want you to congratulate yourself. To me, you are all winners! Just be entering this challenge, attempting the exercises, and videoing yourself riding, I’m pretty sure you’ve made more improvement in these last 30 Days than if you had not entered the challenge!
Remember that big changes happen with small daily actions. Taking risks, “failing,” and getting frustrated is a part of learning. If you never fail you never learn and if you always succeed you never grow.

Special Recognition Awards- I wanted to celebrate some of you who showed exemplary spirit for learning, horsemanship, and/or compassion during the challenge.
