So many people start our course telling us they ' just want to train horses" or they don't like people. We are happy for individuals to learn how to do things better, but our goals are bigger. We want to change the industry. . . To do that one horse at a time would take a long time.. and in that time horses suffer a he hands of those who don't know better. If we educate the educators things change exponentially. This is why one of the modules of apprenticeship is all about a different approach to teaching. Riding lessons often resemble a military drill... this doesn't build people. Our belief if happy, positive students make for happy positive horses... so our goal is for apprentices to keep lessons happy and positive.

When you love what you do and need the free use of your body to do it, chronic pain is an encumbrance.

A life of Chronic pain can kick your ass if you allow it. But, I have to say that succumbing to chronic pain is a matter of choice. The last year of my life I made a choice. I decided to not allow my broken body to own my freedom anymore. 

This is me, starting my very special colt after 10 months of intense mindfulness conditioning, physiotherapy and work with a Bio coach. In short, this is me, taking my life back. 

I have books to write, horses to ride and most importantly a team of horsewoman to inspire world domination into.

Nunca nos causa vergüenza el confesar que somos cristianos y que Jesucristo es el Señor de nuestra vida. Porque lo más importante es nuestro interior. Así que antes de rodar, disfrutar nuestra motocicleta, compartir con nuestro club, con nuestros amigos, con nuestras familias; siempre, siempre invoquemos la presencia del Gran Arquitecto del universo nuestro Dios y salvador, para su protección. #changingtheworldoneheartatatime #GranArquitectodelUniverso #motociclistascristianos #cmaresurrectedridersaugustachapter592 #ministerioechacore https://www.instagram.com/p/CqNpIWGuIcJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s never too late for a good attitude - there is always room for improvement when you wake up like  rattle snake!

When you live with chronic pain, many days you open your eyes and think F%$#! The pain did not disappear in the last 30 min nap before the alarm goes off. You roll over in bed, stretching, groaning, often crying. The pain is too much and honestly, it is really depressing.

You start your morning routine in an all too familiar dark place with a bad attitude. It hurts, it’s always going to hurt. It will likely get worse. Quickly, you become your own victim of this universally cruel thing “chronic pain.”

The reality is though, it is up to me as to what attitude I face pain with. Most Chronic Pain sufferers become immobilized by the depression that comes with knowing that every god damn day is going to start the same way.

What if, this did not have to continue past the first moment in the morning?

What if I did not have a terrible grumpy morning? Is it possible to wake up and not hate so bad? Beginning each day this way can lead to anger, resentment and often loneliness.

I watched my parents both suffer from crazy spine injuries. I believe my unwillingness to yield to the helplessness of Chronic pain came from them. Both of my parents battled pain through the age I am now.

My mother broke her body sky diving at an early, vivacious age. My father suffered a terrible trucking accident that landed telephone poles being pushing into his back. My mother succumbed to her pain a decade ago and my father is still fighting to survive with more pain than the average person could imagine. Growing up and watching them survive is likely why I have lasted this long. Certainly, seeing them work through it gave me the “not going down without a fight” attitude that keeps me in smiles, motion and good spirits now.

I have been injured beyond repair for 15 years. In May, I will have had 15 years of waking up like this. Much of that time was spent learning how to cope. Surgery, sedation, painful injections, endless doctor’s appointments and at one point becoming a full time Physio Therapy patient. Never mind the prescriptions that either worked or fucked up your life. Not yet knowing how to cope with my pain created irreparable rifts between me and some of the people I loved the most.

Through the die-hard attitude that my parents displayed, I also could not bother to lay down and accept defeat. For me, giving into my pain has always meant that I would never ride a horse again, never teach again and that is something I have never been able to accept. However foolish, my parents instilled stubbornness and grit in me, by example and for that I am grateful.

Fast forward through a mountain of added injuries. Fast forward Immeasurable heartache, not just for me but those that loved me, and I finally have figured out how to cope in a way that is no longer destructive and wake up with a good attitude. …Most days anyhow!

One year ago, I was in the place of giving up. After all, the list of things that “my chronic pain” had “taken from me” was long. The value of that loss is still something I cannot speak openly about without sinking to depths of despair. I wish I had found the right attitude sooner. The right attitude often comes with accepting the right support.

Through a doctor who believes I am in fact the vivacious child my mother taught me to be and will help me to express my special brand of “normal.” To the physio and Bio team that help me find the inherent strength and fight that I could have only gained from dad. And from the students who drive me to be a better leader, I can tell you now, my mornings are a contrast from those I experienced 10-15 years ago.

Sure, I am as temperamental as a rattlesnake when I first wake up, but my partner Gareth, bravely and loyally brings me a good cupa and patiently waits for the daily realization of my painful situation to pass. I eventually find a way to have a good attitude, no matter what pain level and corresponding mood I wake up in.

I take my medications without guilt, something that was hard to do. I do my stretches like my life depends on it (because it does). I can hold my tongue until I have something nice to say and I keep true to my fitness because I am the only person who can change my situation. I am the only person who can control my pain and that began by searching for a reason to accept my pain and get on with my life.

It is through this extended support system that I can laugh rather than cry and stretch my way to riding horses and kicking ass every day. For this, I am most grateful and could never have found a good attitude without the incredible combination of people I have as a support crew. And that is how I find my good attitude!

I recently heard a colleague describe the difference between what she does and what I do as “Jamie doesn’t let anything slide.” Better said, I stick to the plan! It keeps horses and humans safe, as a priority. Aside from a mountain of experience and education, separating us, she was correct. I don’t let things “slide,” when it comes to horses and my students. Why, because not all bones heal and that can dramatically shorten anyone’s life span. This is how I dramatically shortened mine. What I do with horses is a system, it is easy to follow and when employed with even a half assed attempt, works every single time. It did not work that day because I allowed someone who knew nothing about training troubled horses tell me my system had no place with their horse and they would tell me how to do my job. This, was the epic F-up that would change my life forever. If compromise can be defined as a way of everyone making concessions, then it is likely the wrong word. What really happened that day was I was strong armed, belittled and intimidated into doing the wrong thing for my own safety and most importantly the well-being of the horse involved in breaking my hip. The day of my accident I knew, before I even left the stable that my life was in danger. I will use the word “compromise,” as a descriptive term, but in fact, the only compromise that was actuated that day was my safety and the well being of the horse involved. How did I compromise? By the use of the word FINE. F-#$%ed up I -nsecure N- eurotic Emotional or egotistical My head was F-ed up, because I was mismanaged by neurotic people, advised by an egotistical trainer. My emotional state was worn thin and that is how the “compromise” took place. I allowed myself to be intimidated into getting onto a horse that I knew needed more cautious training. I compromised with the famous last words, that could not have been farther from the truth – FINE, it’s your horse, and I will do just what you have asked and - It will be fine! The thing is, I was a very experienced trainer, who specialized in Natural Horsemanship and troubled horses who have been bullied into ruins. The chain of events that led me to this point is a long, tragic story. While all I needed to do was accept that I would be fired, and that I would find another situation, my ego and the emotional state took over. Because of my ego and anxiety, I took the ride that day. In my head I screamed, “fine, it’s your horse, I am just your work rider.” The whole time I knew that what I was asked to do with the horse was all wrong. I knew that she could not handle the conditions. I knew the only way I was going to survive was to follow my system. And I chose not to. For fear of losing a job, I chose to do the absolute wrong thing. I chose to not stand up for myself, for the horse and for the system of training that had never failed me. The result was a horse rearing, throwing herself over on top of me and crushing my already broken spine, hip and pelvis into an outcropping of rocks. No helmet or body protector could have stopped what was absolutely not a freak accident. Once the wreck was over. I somehow got to my feet, collected the horse, walked her 500 meters back to her stable. Head hung in shame because I failed my own system by not every employing it. And this, the story of my broken hip serves as a daily reminder as to why I will never “compromise” or “let things slide” ever again. My hope is to share my story of recovery, including the mental, emotional and physical aspects of making a comeback from “compromise.” Jamie Lynn is Lead Instructor Of Heartfelt Horsemanship Lions River, KZN South Africa Please like and follow my blog to be updated on new stuff!

Complaining and grumbling is a serious offense from God's point of view. The Israelites were guilty of this in the wilderness wanderings, when despite God's daily provision and leading, they murmered in their tents. Lack of thankfulness will dim our lights and hurt our witness to the dark lost world around us. We are made the light of the world. It is our mission to shine out his righteousness in the midst of an unrighteous society.😉 Pastor Leo Rivera #capellanleoriverarivera #cmaresurrectedridersaugustachapter592 #changingtheworldoneheartatatime https://www.instagram.com/p/CbSWgDHO4G9/?utm_medium=tumblr

This verse echoes the essence of our Christian walk: keep your trust in God and never rely on your own wisdom. Involve Him in all areas of your life and you will never go wrong. When tough times come, you will have confidence because you know God is with you. Our human wisdom can never match up to God's wisdom. #lamtravelerfromwesttoeast #hombredebuenascostumbre #cmaresurrectedridersaugustachapter592 #pastorleoriverarivera #capellanleoriverarivera #profesorleoriverarivera #Changingtheworldoneheartatatime #cmausa https://www.instagram.com/p/CambAZjO4LL/?utm_medium=tumblr
