Advice for Handling the "Life Stuff" that Affects Your Riding
Lisa Pulliam, the founder of StableMinded.us, is not your typical horsewoman! While her earliest memories include pony rides and playing with her rocking horse, she did not necessarily grow up with horses. As a middle schooler, she had the privilege of going on day-long trail rides with her uncle, with her arms wrapped around his waist as they galloped through state parklands. As a high school and college gal, she participated in riding camps and the club team, but quickly realized the competition world was not for her.
While she dreamed of one day growing up and owning a beautiful bay gelding for herself, that dream did not come true until she hit her late forties and met her now horse Kodiak Jack.
As a second-season equestrian, Lisa brings into her horsemanship a lifetime of experiences in the human world that influence her relationship-based and neurophysiological approach to training not only the horse but more so the human.
Think of Lisa as your mental fitness trainer and relationship coach, dedicated to supporting you so that you can give your horse a solid foundation to build into any performance goal or discipline.
