Small Goals - A Small Challenge!
I often talk about setting small goals because we, as riders, tend to want to look at the big picture. That means thinking in terms of "I want to be a better rider" than narrowing our focus to something we can make progress on today. So I want to challenge everyone to narrow your focus to one small moment of challenge. No, it doesn't need to be hands-free riding as pictured in this GIF! Does your heart rate go up right before you mount? Does picking up the trot for the first time make you tighten up? Do you want to be a little more relaxed at the canter? Let me know what that first small moment is and let's talk about it! The journey to being a more confident rider starts with small steps, so lets find these and work on them! You're not the only one who has these moments and the idea behind this group is to share and work through them so we can all grow and support each other!
