"Make the plan… but stay supple in your approach."
In this short and sweet Sunday episode, Lorna shares a real-life moment from the past week where sticking to the plan just wasn't going to work. What started as a flatwork session in the arena quickly turned into a very different kind of ride; one that ended up being even more impactful.
Because sometimes…
The plan isn't wrong.
But the timing is.
Here's What You'll Hear:
-
Why tension can derail even the best-laid training plans
-
How to tell when it's time to change your session on the fly
-
A simple way to "reset the comfort zone" for your horse
-
What makes training feel productive, even without the arena
-
The permission slip every rider needs: It's okay to change the plan
