This Strides Revisited episode from 2020 calls riders out (lovingly!) on wasting time in the saddle and challenges you to make every moment with your horse count.
Whether you're riding solo, stuck in a rut, or returning after time off, this episode will help you reignite your purpose, get clear on your riding goals, and build a plan that fits your life. Not someone else’s (or potentially a past version of you?) expectations.
Why “just riding” might be costing you more than you realize
How to tell the difference between investing vs wasting time with your horse
Why old goals might be holding you back (and how to know if it’s time to let them go)
A practical exercise to identify your REAL riding priorities based on your current life season
How to set intentional goals that light you up and actually fit your schedule
Why brushing a horse’s tail might be more valuable than an intense training session (yep, really!)
How to realign your rides so they serve your mental wellbeing and deepen your partnership with your horse
The harsh truth: Riding without intention wastes your time, your horse’s time, and your trainer’s time.
Real talk about goals: If your riding goals have been carried over year after year, it’s time to ask whether they still matter to you.
Seasons of life matter: Your current goals must reflect your reality; your time, energy, and values today.
Bringing joy back: Rediscover what you actually enjoy about being with your horse—and use that as the foundation for your goals.
Time audit challenge: Lorna encourages you to look at how you really spent the past month and use that data to shape meaningful riding goals.
