Especially on the internet.

People will confidently tell you how to train your horse, how to ride, how to compete, how to handle your business, and what you’re doing wrong…

Most of the time they have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about!

Just because someone says they “rodeo” doesn’t mean they’re good at it.
Just because they own horses doesn’t mean they know how to train them.
Just because they’ve ridden for 20 years doesn’t mean they have 20 years of GOOD experience.
Just because they have an opinion doesn’t mean their opinion is worth listening to.

And please stop confusing confidence with competence.

There are people who have actually put in the work. They’ve trained horses. They’ve competed. They’ve won. They’ve coached. They’ve made mistakes, learned from them, and have the results to show for it.

Listen to those people.

And yes, there are trainers who will genuinely give you good advice for free because they want to help.

But not everyone offering you “advice” is trying to help you.

Some people just want to be heard.

You don’t have to take advice from everyone who gives it.

Look at the person giving the advice before you decide whether to take it.

Because when it comes to your horse, your money, and your goals…
