Delayed Gratification
”The more comfortable you can get with delayed gratification, the more successful you will be in life" - Author Unknown
When we take the time to build a strong foundation of balance, trust, and relaxation our horses become the athletes we’ve always known they could be. Often times in barrel racing, we want to go fast so we can make our time and get that instant gratification but if we don’t put in the time to train our horses to sit and engage we will always be slow. When we get comfortable taking the time to teach our horses how to be balanced and engaged both physically and mentally under pressure we will become faster in the end.
