Introducing: THE SUCCESS JOURNEY

By Heart in Your Hand Horsemanship

Phone Consultations and Video Evaluations

With Sherry Jarvis

THE MISSION:

To help people Live and Achieve their DREAMS across the miles.

Here is another idea to help fight rising fuel costs. THE SUCCESS JOURNEY is a personalized instruction and training program which can reach across the miles by using your phone, video camera, computer, and the old fashion paper and pencil.

 

For a while now I have been doing phone consultations and even some video evaluations using You Tube to give people advice and ideas of how to solve their horse problems and advance to the next level. More recently I have also been doing some business consulting work for people diving into the horse business giving them confidence and tools to move forward or for people needing new ideas and direction for an existing business.

Whether you need advice, assistance, more confidence, new ideas, and tools, to go to the next level I will help you achieve your dreams by giving you one/one assistance and a customized curriculum that is designed specifically for you.

Did you know that all the best athletes, horsemen, teachers and trainers all have coaches and mentors? Pat Parelli often credits his teachers for helping him achieve his successes with horses. No one ever made it alone. We all need someone who inspires us, encourages us, acknowledges our triumphs and holds us accountable. I am no different. I have had many mentors to guide and direct me through business, my personal life and horsemanship. With hard work and determination I am now applying with success the principles I have learned from these mentors.

I now want to offer the same opportunity to some of the most dedicated students in a way that won't break your bank. With rising gas prices causing travel to be more difficult for some, this new idea for continual learning seems to make sense. Instead of waiting and hoping you are on the right track in achieving your horsemanship dreams and goals, I want to be there and guide you each step of the way, thus the birth of THE SUCCESS JOURNEY opportunity.

 

How does THE SUCCESS JOURNEY work?

Each month as a SUCCESS JOURNEY student you will receive:

Personal Phone Calls: (For either horsemanship or business) This is where we get to outline and assess how everything is going, celebrate successes, provide motivation, build confidence, avert common pitfalls and define new goals. You will need a pencil and paper to take notes and write down your assignments for the week.

Horsemanship Video Coaching: In the videos we ask for 15 minutes of recorded footage where you are with your horse now.  We will review the video footage together in our phone calls. I want to see what you are playing with to help you excel and improve. Video coaching has proven to be a very powerful tool and an exceptional way to mark progress and success.

 

What's in it for you?

My goal is to hold nothing back allowing the truth within you to be revealed which will empower you for a SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY. I will share all of my knowledge and experience, inspire and empower you. You will enjoy the benefits of a safer relationship with your horse a rejuvenated confidence and motivation to reach new heights. You will face new challenges with more excitement and fun. Past frustrations will begin to fade being replaced by more celebrations!!! More than anything, you live your dreams!

Given each and every person has different needs there are 3 opportunities to choose from.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who will I be coached by?

I will be coached by Sherry herself?

How do the phone calls work? Who calls who? When will you call?

Sherry will call you at a scheduled date and time.

What do I need for my phone call?

You will need a pen and paper to take notes.

What if I miss my phone call?

Sherry will try three times to get hold of you, if we are unable to connect, then she will try again at the next scheduled time.

How do the video’s work? How can I send videos?

Video tapes can be sent in a few forms.

Most preferably by email, as this is the fastest, most efficient and cost effective.

If this is not an option, post is fine, send DVD or VHS.

Putting these clips up on a web hosting site like You Tube is also a good option.

What do you want to see in the videos?

The idea of these video’s is so I can view what you are playing with or having trouble with, in the next phone coaching session we would watch this together, outlining what is going well and what could be done differently.

Sometimes I may ask for specific topics that arise from our conversations.

Is there a time frame within the month that I need to send the video in?

Yes, I need to have the video clip at least one week before the call so I can look at it; to make sure it works etc.

I am a Golden Success Journey Student can I send one 30 minute video rather than two 15 minute videos?

Yes you can.

Horses? Do I have to have just one horse or can I do this program with multiple horses?

Lots of people have lots of horses.  I prefer you pick one horse to go through this success journey with. 

Of course the more you learn you will be able to transfer to many different horses.  If questions arise about your other horses, we want to address them with any extra time we may have in our phone calls.

What if my horse goes lame or has a problem?

You can of course change horses if there are any issues.

What if I want to upgrade during my year to Silver or Golden Success Journey?

You are welcome to upgrade at any time.  Please notify Sherry to make the arrangements.

Natural Horsemanship Camps, Clinics, and Private lessons where horse lovers discover more about confidence, leadership and communication so they have even more success and fun with their horses. Develop a better relationship with your horse which leads to partnership and overall better performance no matter what discipline you choose.

I don't have a picture of trailer loading, but here is Jan doing a good send with her horse Sully at last year's Oct. Women's Camp.

Over the past few months I have helped a lot of people who are having trouble loading their horses in the trailer. I think this could be a new full time career for me. So if you are having trouble loading your horse in the trailer, I'm sure that I can help, because I always succeed without a lot of dust or fighting. I spent one summer at a ranch haltering yearlings for the first time, teaching them to lead and get in a trailer. It was a great learning experience. But I think I've even learned more in the past few months from the not so green horses.

Patience, confidence, understanding, and time are the main ingredients a human needs to gain a horse's trust in order to load him in a trailer with willingness. Without trust you will have a fearful slave instead of a willing servant. The main thing the horse needs is respect to a forward cue and confidence. Without respect and confidence you will have nothing more than frustration which may lead to injuries for either the horse, the human, or both.

The first thing that must be established before you ever approach the trailer is a good forward cue, or I call it "the send". This is not about leading the horse, but asking the horse to move forward toward a designated place with intention and energy. Until the horse will walk beside you with energy, he will walk straight ahead, and stop straight when you stop you are not prepared to ask the horse to load into a trailer. The key to easy trailer loading is good respectful forward motion from the horse upon request.

Next load your horse into as many creative things you can think of which simulate the action of trailer loading. (Over a wooden bridge forward and backwards, jumping a log or barrel, put his feet up on a pedestal or tarp, cross water, go through a small gate or door, and between trees that are close together.) Use the forward cue or "send" which you will use at the trailer. The better your horse will do all of these things the more willing, confident, and respectful your horse will be when asked to load in the trailer. Make a game of it, and have some fun!

It is essential to have the proper attitude with plenty of time when loading the horse. If you become angry, frustrated, anxious or nervous the horse will catch your spirit reflecting your emotions in his own behavior. If you are in a big hurry the horse will become even more reluctant. Remember they hate to be rushed into anything. Be very matter-of-fact, as if you are going nowhere important. Load the horse as if nothing unusual is going on. Act like he has done it well a 1000 times before. Remember  to stand around and relax, because you can't rush a horse into a trailer, hoping he will be in before he knows what happened.

With prior and proper preparation trailer loading doesn't have to be a traumatic or difficult experience for either the horse or the handler. Now that you have armed yourself with a good "forward cue", lots of practice through simulations games, and the proper attitude with plenty of time, you are on your way to successful trailer loading. The next training tip we will continue this discussion with loading procedures that work when applied with feel and timing.

Remember it's not about the trailer but about the relationship and good communication.

If you need lessons on loading your horse in the trialer, call me. I am the traveling trainer. I will train you right along with your horse.
