Claire Affleck began riding as a young child and competed at the international level as a junior rider. It was at the age of 12 that she first began to work with unstarted young horses, and the thrill of starting and bringing along a horse has never faded for her. She is a graduate of Sweet Briar College, where she earned her B.A. in psychology.
While at Sweet Briar there she rode on their very competitive ISHA team and ‘A’ circuit hunter show team, and also taught for the riding program. While in Scotland, she was able to compete internationally in dressage and jumpers.
Claire now is a member of the Limestone Creek Hunt Club, judges local horse shows, focuses on starting young horses under saddle, and bringing along her students.
Of course, like any great enterprise, Skaneateles Equestrian Center is a community of energetic, compassionate, generous and dedicated people. Students, boarders, family, volunteers, and staff work and play together for the good of horse and human!
Just One
Energy is energy. We are all made of energy. In fact, not only are we humans all made of energy but literally every thing is made of energy. Every single thing in the universe is energy. When you think about the implications there it is hard to deny that we are all connected. We humans can be forgetful, however, and we often forget that we are really all part of one and the same energy. Feeling good attracts more things to feel good about into our own lives. Having negative thoughts not only makes us feel bad it attracts more things into our lives to feel bad about. Our thoughts and our feelings not only influence our lives but the lives of those around as well, since we are all connected. When someone behaves in a negative way towards us and we act...
Fleeting Moments
Life is really a series of moments. Some moments are more memorable than others, some seem to pass more quickly or more slowly than others, and some seem happier or sadder than others. The important thing is to remember that the current state you are in right at this exact moment is temporary. Each moment is brought to you by all of your past thoughts. If you are in a happy, positive place right now it is because your past thoughts have lead you there. You’ve been thinking joyful thoughts and now they have manifested for you. Although this very second will pass, you can allow your joyful state to continue by continuing to have positive thoughts. If, however, your current reality is a negative one, do not worry or fret about it. This will also pass. ...
Push and Pull
We are all having our own life experience. My thoughts cause my cells in my body to vibrate on particular frequency; which means I emit my own unique energy to the universe. The energy that I emit manifests into my experience, my reality. Nobody else can affect my experience unless I allow them to. Everyone is having their own life experience. Another person may hold an opinion about me but unless I allow their opinion to affect my opinion they cannot affect the outcome of my experience. In fact I could have numerous people who hold a negative opinion about me, pushing against me, but unless I push back and allow that negative opinion to affect me, then the way anyone else thinks matters not. For example, let’s consider the life of celebrities,...
It’s The Feeling
Life happens. We make goals, work to achieve them, accomplish them, and then set new goals for ourselves. Along the way sometimes things happen that we perceive as good and sometimes things happen that we perceive as bad. The point of it all, is not actually the attaining of our goals or even the journey on the way to get there, it’s actually the way we feel about the journey and our desires that really matters. How we feel about the events in our lives is what really counts. We all have “bad” things happening our lives. How we feel about negative situations is very important. We can either allow ourselves to feel mad, upset, irritated, and generally negative or we can choose to see each experience we have as an opportunity to learn. When we...
It’s All Good
Imagine for a moment that you had the power to foresee the future. Let’s say you looked into your future and you saw that everything was going to be alright, everything worked out for the best, and all your dreams came true. Well I’ll let you in on a secret. Everything is going to be alright. Things always do work out for the best and your dreams all can come true. If you truly knew this, believed this, and fully trusted it, then you could just relax and enjoy. This is actually how we should all be living on a day to day basis. We need to think about our future without fear, without worry, without doubt, and without trepidation. All of that angst about the future also causes our current reality to be one filled with negativity. Believing...
It’s the Law!
The Law of Attraction is considered to be a “law” because it works all the time, for everyone. There is no way around this law, no way to break it or get out of having to follow it. The law works perfectly by manifesting your thoughts and internal state of being into your external state of being. This works no matter what your internal state of being is. When you have positive thoughts you create a positive reality. When you have negative thoughts you create a negative reality. You can’t get around the law by having negative thoughts and expecting to get a positive reality. The law cannot be tricked like this. You can choose to either have the positive thoughts and the positive reality or you can choose to have the negative thoughts and...
Thoughts Create
We’ve all heard the expression “Actions speak louder than words”. Well, have you ever heard, “Thoughts speak louder than actions”? Probably not. This expression, however, would probably be the most accurate. Our thoughts are incredibly powerful. Our thoughts vibrate throughout our entire being, through every single cell of our being, in fact! Our thoughts not only have the power to influence and dictate our spoken words and our personal actions, they also have the amazing ability to create our physical reality in which we exist. Our words and actions alone do not have the power to manifest into reality, they need our thoughts in order to do that. A thought begins internally. Therefore, all the power to create our lives lies within each...
Positive Outcome
Of course everyone would love to have a positive outcomes in every circumstance of life. No matter what the specific outcome is that you currently desire (for example it could be to get a raise, buy that new car, new house, have a baby, get married, start your own business) it is impossible for that outcome to be a positive one if the journey to get there was a negative one. The one simple, easy, predictor of creating a happy outcome is to have a happy journey on your way there. This is a one hundred percent guarantee! When you are happy, joyful, and passionate in your day to day steps to achieving your goals you are guaranteed a happy outcome. However, if your daily journey is filled with struggle, pain, and negative emotions then the outcome can be...
Own Your Own Life
We are all part of what happens to us. That may seem obvious but some people get in the habit of blaming others for the circumstances that they find themselves in. It may actually seem to the folks that like to point fingers that blaming others is easier. It’s easier to say it was so-and-so’s fault for anything negative that occurs that in your life. By not taking responsibility for your actions you cannot be held accountable for your actions. While this may seem like an easy fix for some, it is actually not the answer at all. You are actually responsible for all that occurs in your life, both positive and negative. The great thing about owning that responsibility is that you have the control and the power of your own life. If you are...
Remember!
While it can be a great advantage to us to use our thoughts to create our realities we have to remember that all of our thoughts obey the Law of Attraction, not just our positive thoughts. Our negative thoughts also influence our realities whether want them to or not and whether we even aware of those thoughts or not. Quite often our minds drift and we replay out the past or fret about the future without even being aware of it. Although we may not be consciously bringing these types thoughts to our attention, the universe is always paying attention. It will, in fact, replay our past behavior if that is indeed what we thinking about and it will manifest exactly what we are worrying about in the future, if that is what we concentrating on. The trick of...
