How to Build Supportive Cultures in Our Horse Barns

we know what our purpose is it is essential that we decide how we will go about achieving this purpose. What types of thoughts and actions support the collective goal? For example
Purpose Statement To support each other to continuously improve as riders and create a safe fun space for everyone to enjoy. 
Why is this important to us? We all cherish the time we spend with our horses and care deeply about progressing our skills and competitive achievements. 
How we will live to our group purpose supporting actions
Communicate with honesty and kindness
Leave the stress of the day in the car. Allow yourself and everyone to just be in the present moment
Cheer each other on through success and support each other through challenges
Believe in everyones potential to grow and improve including your own.
With the right support the purpose statement and associated actions will become the framework for how every barn member interacts and conducts themselves. They become a mutually held set of values that inform the choices and actions of the group. 
Once decided upon display your purpose and supporting actions in a common area such as the tack room as a daily reminder for everyone. The most successful sport cultures in the world for example The New Zealand All Blacks keep their purpose front of mind by reinforcing it visually and verbally again and again for its members. The magic happens when everyone knows exactly what that purpose is. With that knowledge comes the ability to selfassess whether your actions are supporting or hindering that purpose.
When is a culture harmful?
A culture becomes harmful when it encourages people to act from a place of fear. Remember that a culture is a set of shared beliefs attitudes knowledge practices and behaviours. Its important to ask ourselves what beliefs and attitudes we are reinforcing at our barn. What is our default way of behaving as a group? Collectively do we tend to lift each other up or pull each other down?
Why do we pull each other down? We are all easily triggered by the success of other riders particularly when we feel that things arent going well for us and our horse. Watching other people achieve what we want to achieve triggers uncomfortable feelings like anxiety jealously or frustration. When we are triggered our brain is operating from a fear state. We are fearful of not reaching our goals not being good enough
