Sunday Strides: The Secret Is Doing It Again… And Again

Ever feel like if you didn’t get it right the first time, it must not be for you?
This week's Sunday Strides is your reminder that confidence isn't born from perfection; it’s built through repetition.

So many riders get discouraged when things don’t go well on the first try. But what if showing up again (and again) is exactly what’s required?

In this short pep talk, I’m sharing why the real breakthroughs happen after the first awkward, messy attempts, and how committing to repeat with intention is the secret to true progress with your horse.

Whether you're learning a new skill, restarting after a break, or supporting your horse through retraining, this one is for you 💛
