Gratitude, celebration, and the topic of today's email -kindness.
This is the season to reflect on such topics, and while you' re counting your blessings, expressing gratitude, and celebrating your friends, family, clients, and horses...
Be sure to show yourself some kindness too.
As the song, Auld Lang Syne suggests, look back on times past.
Be they good or be they lessons, they brought you to this very moment which is ripe with opportunity for the future.
So as the year comes to a close and we start looking ahead, be sure raise a toast to all that you have accomplished this year and all the years before.
You have worked hard, learned much, and have the opportunity to take that hard work and those lessons those learned into 2023 to make your visions and dreams come true and to have even more impact on the horses you love and the people that love them too.
"I love how we empower horse professionals!" "I've learned so much this year about marketing!" "I love our culture of horse lovers!" "I really like who I am becoming." These were some of the comments from the Red Mares as we met over Zoom yesterday to celebrate how far we've come this year as a team of horse-loving marketing professionals. It was a beautiful reminder that business is not ONLY about making money.
YES...of course we want you to make more than enough money, but in the end, running a business allows for SO MUCH GROWTH in all areas of our lives. Whether it's overcoming an internal limiting belief, a sense of contributing to the greater good, or feeling loved and held by the business itself... a good business is GOOD for the world. Today I'll be meeting with my executive team to define a higher, clearer vision for 2023 for the business called Red Mare. The business that gives all of us, myself included, so many opportunities to grow. I'm eternally grateful that I have the chance to create this vision with the support of my team. Even though I'm an entrepreneur through and through, I find that my team is essential to expand my vision. We encourage each other to think bigger and higher, and as a result, the challenging parts of bringing change to the horse industry become child's play. It's fun, joyful, light, and inspiring! And we want that for you too! So our present this Christmas is going to be a Business Vision Retreat! Yup, 4 delicious hours designing, dreaming, creating a big 3-year vision where you walk away with an actionable 12-month expanding plan over Zoom. A plan that feels good, balanced, profitable AND impactful. This is time for you and your business to find harmony, the way we seek harmony with our horses everyday. We'll send out more information next week, but I hope that just the thought of spending this precious 4 hours in company of inspiring horse professionals, guided by my incredible executive team, will put a smile on your face! Happy, happy Holidays to you, your loved ones and of course ALL your horses!
With the year's end and holidays fast approaching, 💗gratitude is on our minds here at Red Mare.
The entrepreneurial horse life is filled with highs and lows.
As CEO of your business, you are responsible for noticing and savoring the highs to better balance yourself for the lows as a way to prevent burnout.
And if you lead a team, it's important you do this for your staff too.
Maintaining a regular gratitude practice can help you do both by highlighting what is joyful, meaningful, rewarding, and beautiful about this lifestyle of ours.
Incorporate a regular gratitude practice into your day and see how it shines a little extra sunshine 🌞 into your days.
Keep a notebook beside your bed and record 3 things you're grateful for each night. Start your morning by rereading a few past entries.
Keep an Applause File with nice comments and thank you notes from your clients, and read through it periodically (BONUS: ask for permission to use the best ones in your marketing!)
Start your day with a few minutes of quietly noticing and appreciating the little comforts and beauties of your daily life— the heat in your house, the feel of your favorite gloves, the beauty of your horse's breath in the air, the smell of hay.
It's so easy to charge into what needs doing or fixing, and so easy to take for granted the things about our lives that would be delightful and enchanting to a stranger walking into it for the first time.
Whatever you do, giving thanks is a powerful part of creating and maintaining your happiness.
It's not just for the holidays!
For the Horse,
Catherine & The Red Mare Team

Renovate your 🐴 Horse Biz now and hit the trail into the New Year towards a better organized, more profitable business with amazing clients and less demand on your time and energy.
Turn the old, broken way of doing business in the horse world on its head and start working smarter, NOT harder. (Seriously. It doesn't have to be this hard to have happy clients, healthy horses AND more income with less drain on your time and energy…)
🐴 Horse Pros typically think that the solution to their business woes is more horses, more clients, even more horses…the salvation that would allow them to make enough money to keep working with…you guessed it…even more horses.
Are you booked out or hit the end of your rope? Dreaming of galloping on your OWN horse across the fields, instead of driving to yet another client, working on someone else's horse?
Then you probably already suspect that this approach to business is horse 💩
So, why is the "MORE business is BETTER" mindset so very broken in our horse industry?
It leads to burnout, accidents, overwork, an ever more tired body and mind…and certainly not to a greater impact, at least in the long term.
But I can hear you sigh already…HOW else is one going to make money in the horse world? Feed prices go up, gas costs are through the roof…
So here is the question my team and I started with when we began playing with the idea of helping our clients break free from this broken system…
"How could we help horse professionals use video, technology, and systems to multiply their income, reclaim time for self and family and still work intimately with their clients WITHOUT burning themselves out?"
A working hypothesis was formed.
And we went to work to create a course and coaching program designed to make transforming your 🐴horse biz feel like a gentle jog across the prairie.
Starting BLACK FRIDAY get 84% off this incredibly powerful program that 🐴horse pros have been raving about to help guarantee your success in making 2023 and beyond your time to really hit your stride!
