Episode 105: Lead Mare vs. Low on the Totem Pole

Turn Fear Around Podcast- Episode 105: Lead Mare vs. Low on the Totem Pole

We can change our relationship with our horse for the better when we become the leader they are seeking, on their terms, not ours. Being like a horse is challenging but very rewarding. I share how I became a lead mare and how you can too.

Join us for bite-sized, actionable episodes (usually 5-10 minutes) that offer simple tools and techniques to help you turn your fear around. Whether you're struggling with riding anxiety, dealing with a nervous horse, or just looking to regain your confidence, these episodes will leave you with something you can do right away. Plus, you can always re-listen when you need a refresher.

Key takeaways:

🐴 Lead mare moves the others
🐴 The others don't even look at the lead mare
🐴 There are no mistakes (This one was huge for me!)

What if you didn’t have to bring the weight of the world into the pasture?
Your horse can feel what you’re carrying—and while they hold space with love, what if you could meet them with a clear, calm heart?
Through courage coaching and hypnotherapy, I help riders release anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm—without needing to carry it into every ride.
Let’s help you reset, for good.
