96: Frozen in fear to fire horse fierce: Your 2026 transformation
Episode 96
Tuesday, 13 January, 2026
I have spent the past few weeks reflecting because the start of a new year naturally brings a desire to change what we do, how we do things, or even how we think.If you’ve been sitting with a quiet sense that something needs to shift, for yourself or for your horse, this episode is exactly what you need to hear as we step into 2026.Pay Attention to Your FeelingsWhen you sense that something is different with your horse, pay attention because it matters. A strong connection helps you notice subtle shifts long before anything obvious shows. Ignoring that gut feeling often leads to endless research, outside opinions, and overthinking, which only adds confusion instead of clarity.When Caring Turns Into Freeze Freezing, overthinking, and second-guessing are proof of how deeply you care. The weight of responsibility can feel overwhelming, especially when your horse’s health is on the line.Analysis Paralysis and Lost IntuitionToo much information can shut down your intuition. Articles, courses, podcasts, and social media create noise that drowns out the quiet knowing you gain from daily observation and experience with your horse.The Information CollectorWaiting to know everything before taking action keeps change out of reach. Confidence does not come from more information. It comes from deciding and taking action, even if the steps are small or imperfect.The Permission SeekerLooking for opinions from vets, trainers, or social media delays leadership. Horses don’t need thousands of opinions. They need an owner willing to advocate, make decisions, and guide their care with clarity and intention.The Worst-Case SpiralerImagining disasters will drain your energy and stall progress. Indecision becomes a costly choice when fear prevents you from acting. Moving forward requires grounding, focus, and shutting out both external noise and internal catastrophizing.Indecision Versus Intentional ActionDoing nothing is still a choice. Creating a plan, committing to it, and adjusting along the way brings stability to both horse and human. Calm, centered leadership will have a direct effect on your outcomes.Intuition as Valid DataGut feelings are just as important as science. Daily observations, patterns, and responses are meaningful information. Writing them down turns intuition into evidence and builds confidence in decision-making.Alignment MattersDecisions that contradict your beliefs and instincts disrupt flow. When actions align with your values and intuition, outcomes improve. When they don’t, stress rises and progress often stalls.Fire Horse Energy for 2026The Year of the Fire Horse calls for boldness, movement, and decisive action. It favors momentum over perfection and independence over approval. It’s a push to stop waiting and start acting.Imperfect Action Over Perfect PlanningHorses benefit more from timely, intentional effort than from endless preparation. Small, thoughtful changes often lead to noticeable improvements and strengthen trust between horse and owner.Become the Expert on Your HorseCreating a health profile for your horse helps you notice patterns and understand what has led to their current state. Knowing where things have shifted or gone off balance guides the changes your horse truly needs.Fire Horse Goals vs. Frozen GoalsFrozen goals keep you stuck in learning mode. Fire horse goals are action-based: you create a plan for your horse, implement it, and adjust as you go. Taking steps- even if they are not perfect- builds confidence and leads to results.Simple Changes Create Real...
