In another facet of his life, feelings of inadequacy during young adulthood led Shane to engage in excessive alcohol consumption. This destructive pattern culminated in a tragic DUI accident and subsequent incarceration, intensifying his sense of unworthiness. Enduring decades in an alcoholic haze, Shane grappled with the consequences, witnessing the erosion of relationships, earnings, and personal growth.
At the age of 47, Shane, with the aid of horses and guided by a higher power, broke free from this destructive cycle. The processes and principles employed during this transformative journey are accessible to all and adaptable to any desired change. For those seeking transformation, Shane emphasizes that change is not only within reach but also achievable and undeniably worthwhile. Every individual is worth the journey to positive change.

Effect On Emotions
- You know, I have learned through mindfulness, from being aware of what's going on with me, not to be so afraid of emotions.
- Some of them don't feel good. A lot of times, we connect positivity with courage.
Let me tell you something. It doesn't feel very good. Fear really doesn't feel so bad and I've come to know this by being mindful and by being aware.
Thoughts On Breathing
-
I'm not an expert on breathing, but I have read a little bit about Navy Seal breathing. My wife's really into that. Before I speak, I do some serious breathing because I have a real issue with public speaking.
-
And it's still not the simplest thing for me to stand up in front of an audience and speak.
Bullying Story
-
Horses don't speak very good English. I've never met one that does and so communication can be a barrier with horses. We all do our best.
-
However it is a relationship and a lot of times we lose our patience and a lot of times people can be unfair with horses.
-
We can be operating on our emotions and we can look back and have regret. I'm going to call that bullyimg because it happens a lot.
-
The thing that I've observed is if I've tried to improve communication and not operate on emotion myself, in all aspects solely as a decision-maker. When I observed horses when it comes to what I perceived as as somebody had been unfair to a horse, I'm going to call that bullying. They didn't come right back and turn the other cheek and say hey, give me another beating.
-
They had a boundary. They were like, Well. I'm not going to do that again because you know there was a problem there.
