Monologue: • Goals and Resolutions for 2023 • Motivation vs Discipline • Rule of 1/3's • Weird True Facts (WTF) Little known horse facts Guests; When Camille Carson was a little girl and spending time with her horse Detaunt, there was no schedule, no show, and no agenda.  There wasn’t anyone telling them how they were supposed to do things and how they weren’t.  They learned how to listen to one another, how to trust one another, and how to build connection and willingness to explore one another's boundaries and capacities. With that, they rode and jumped bareback and bridleless, they galloped up mountainsides, swam in rivers, sat and ate blackberries together.  Doing it “right” or “wrong,” being on a schedule or agenda, none of this ever came into play. They were just doing it for the joy,  the trust, the love, and the connection that they had with each other in partnership. Because of this connection and that true partnership, they felt they were able to do anything to…
