I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm sorry this email is arriving to you a day late - add tech gremlins and a migraine to a holiday week and it just throws everything off!

Last week I promised a 25% discount on The Horsey Life Planners from my Etsy shop. They're available in both printable and digital format - the digital version works on your tablet with a program like Goodnotes. The coupon code is SAVE25, and it's good through December 8th. As an added bonus, if you purchase a planner during the sale, you'll receive the completely updated and revised version when it releases toward the New Year for free as a thank you for being one of my tribe.

I also mentioned my upcoming course, and I've officially opened up applications for Beta Testers. If you're interested in getting the first look at Calming Anxiety in the Barn and Beyond and helping shape the final product, please reply to this email and let me know you're interested. Your cost for the course will be just $39, 90% off the $397 price once the course goes live to the general (horsey) public.

The course consists of 8 modules covering topics like meditation, visualization, affirmations, and EFT Tapping. If you're interested in a holistic approach to calming anxiety and becoming the owner your horse deserves, you owe it to yourself to check out this course!

This week's post follows on last week's. This week I've given you tips on how to become a happier and more effective horse owner by spending some time taking care of yourself. You can't drink from an empty cup, and your horse depends on you - he is looking for yours to be full!

This week's post is a bit long, so I've just included an excerpt below with a link to read the rest of it on my blog.

I hope you enjoy the sale on the Horsey Life Planners - and remember to hit reply if you're interested in getting in on the ground floor for Calming Anxiety in the Barn and Beyond!

Making the Most of a 30 Minutes - a Cheat Sheet for Horse Owners Part 2

Last week we discussed how a busy horse owner can do all their necessary horse care tasks in about a half hour on those days you’re pressed for time. If you’re like me, you don’t have an extra hour to spend on the nice extras like a bit of massage, thorough tail conditioning, or just hanging out with your horse for an hour or so every day.

When I do, I love it, but when I don’t, I know that my mare’s essentials are all taken care of, and I can focus on whatever else is demanding my time guilt-free.

Today’s post is all about how to spend a half-hour making sure your essentials are cared for, and how that relates to being the owner your horse deserves.

Here’s a basic overview:

Drink a glass of water Time: 1 minute, benefit: hydration for your health and taking a brief break*

1. Do some breathing exercises: Time: 2 minutes, benefit: centers you, improves your focus, helps brain function**
2. Do some stretching: Time: 5 minutes, benefit: helps prevent injury, increases flexibility, improves comfort, increases mobility, extends your active years
3. Meditate - Time: 5 minutes, benefit: helps ground you, increases your focus, reduces stress, increases creativity, including creative problem solving
4. Journal - Time: 10 minutes, benefit: helps gather your thoughts, reduce anxiety, offer perspective
