Welcome here! My name is Kylie and my role at NOËLLE FLOYD is to enhance your learning through connecting with our instructors and other NF+ members. Here are a few guidelines for making the most of your time here:

• Be kind. Lead by example and engage with the tone and energy you would like to receive back. Let’s make this community a good place to be!
  
  

• Empathy always. Take a moment to put yourself in the other person’s shoes and engage conversations in ways that you would personally find helpful. Also embrace empathy for the horses as well. They benefit greatly when we strive to see the world through their eyes.    
  
  

• Make generous assumptions* (about other people’s intentions). We believe that, in most cases, riders are doing the best they can with the information they currently have. If we are all going to learn and do better, we need to be allowed to ask questions and work through the messy parts without needing to be perfect.    
  
  *Note: To learn more about making generous assumptions, check out the video “SuperSoul Sessions: The Anatomy of Trust” on www.brenebrown.com/videos
  
  

• Be excellent with your words. This guideline is a nod to “The Four Agreements” by Miguel Ruiz but the summary is this: speak with integrity. Say only what you mean and avoid using words to speak against yourself or others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. 

That’s it for now! If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us directly or send us an email at info@noellefloyd.com. Thanks for being here. ❤️

Hi members! 👋 We’ve just launched a new community channel: study_group!

This week, we’re diving into Mind Horses—those horses that are always scanning their surroundings or tend to get herd-bound. If this sounds like your horse, you won’t want to miss out on this content!

Join the conversation and let’s learn together. See you there! ✨

Montana NF+ members—we’ve got something special just for you! 🎉 Our first Horse Girl Dinner, sponsored by Mad Barn, is happening in Bozeman, MT, and we’d love for you to join us! There are still a few spots left, so if you're in the area, don’t miss out on this amazing chance to connect with Noëlle and fellow horse lovers over great food, conversation, and fun. Sign up here to learn more: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=TNnPGn&g=TPfbiP

Hi members! We're excited to be working on a blog with Missy Clark, and we'd love your input. If you could ask Missy anything about her training or philosophy, what would it be? Let us know in the comments before this Thursday. (PS. Here's a tour of Missy's Farm, North Run)

Office Hours with Tik Maynard are happening again next week!  Tik will be going more in depth on one of his favorite questions: How do we motivate our horses?

If you want to join us live or ask a question, pop over to the private channel for NF+ members called "ask_our_instructors" and find the details for Office Hours on Tuesday Oct 8th @ 11am PT/2pm ET. 

We’re excited to share some big news—the first course of Understanding Your Horse’s Needs is now live on NF+! This course is designed to help you build a deeper, more trusting relationship with your horse.

Led by the amazing Josh Nichol, his Relational Horsemanship method focuses on understanding your horse’s emotional needs to create trust, respect, and a true partnership—not just control.

🎥 Check it out here
🤗 And please share your thoughts in the comments!

Josh makes horsemanship feel accessible by breaking down complex ideas into simple, practical steps, and we can’t wait for you to experience his approach.

NF+ Office Hours give you an opportunity to hear from our instructors LIVE and have your personal questions answered!

We want to know, which NF+ instructors do you want to see in Office Hours?? Share names below and like your favorites to vote on who you want to hear from next!

UPDATE! For those of you who were planning to join us today for Office Hours with Tik, we have RESCHEDULED our first live Q&A for Tuesday Sept 10, 2024 at 2-3pm EDT (11am-12 noon PDT). Thank you for your patience and we promise there’s a good reason! Tik and the NF+ team are filming on location this week and needed to change the schedule today to include a special guest. Stay tuned to find out who it is in Tik’s next masterclass! 

In the meantime, we have saved your questions and will catch up with Tik in two weeks.  To join us live, go to our private community channel titled "ask_our_instructors" and follow the link to register. Replays will also be available to all members. Hope to see you there!
