For You
Our purpose is to create the best and healthiest versions of our horses, from the arena to the coral. In order to accomplish that, one big step is creating the best and healthiest version of ourselves. With that in mind, we have established what we deem the key ingredients to become a great horseperson!
Nutrition and Health Coaching
with Yarrow Farris, owner of Barbells & Brussels
Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Precision Nutrition Certified, and Level 3 CrossFit Coach
My mission is to simplify the abundance of information surrounding nutrition, exercise, and health to make it more comprehensible and attainable for all. - Yarrow
When we feel our best selves, it can give us the edge in our horsemanship and performance because we are better able to handle our horses and ourselves with a more confident approach. In addition, the practicality of maintaining proper seat position through leg and core strength, being able to have full range of motion to tack and groom your horse, and having the ability to move your own hay and feed bags are exceptional reasons to pursue your health!
Buying or Leasing A Horse
To be a confident and successful rider, whether through our own inner reflection or a judge's score, we must have a horse complimentary to ourselves and our abilities.
In order to buy or lease a horse that matches and encourages us, it's essential we assess our own strengths and weaknesses. This daunting task is easier said than done, but simpler with help.
To ride a horse that makes you feel like a better rider, will make you a better rider. A great deal of horsemanship is in our head, when we can escape that, we can experience the true magic within horses. Together we will discuss your goals, your confidence points and your weaknesses to determine your perfect horse, and then I will connect you with a range of horses that we feel are appropriate for you.
Selling A Horse
Sometimes in life we find ourselves on a different path then we intended, or with different interests, or we might have over or underestimated ourselves. In the horse aspect of this, we may have ended up with a horse that isn't right for us.
In rehoming comes the burden of understanding what you're selling, and who you are selling it to. Much less all of the extra nitty gritty of pictures, pricing, description, where to list and all of the silly questions you will get.
It is okay to realize that you need a different horse, it is okay to feel like selling is your last option. From there lies the responsibility of your horse's safety in the future and that can be overwhelming. Together we discuss what you have and why you feel like it's not right for you. I will design an ad that you approve and handle as much or little of the selling process you want from there.
Coaching
One of the greatest tools in horsemanship is an extra set of eyes, and an objective opinion. One of the few things we cannot accomplish by ourselves, even if we just "try harder."
I believe a great horseman is raised by a village, and not everyone has a village that follows their passion. Everyone deserves someone in their corner who wants to see them succeed.
You deserve someone who is there strictly for you and on your terms. You deserve to call the shots on your own success story.
Together, we will create a plan in how to best support you and your goals. From there, I am able to help you grow in the ways that work best for you. The world needs more cowboys ( & cowgirls), and this industry needs you.
