This week’s Q&A is all about making progress toward your goals, even when the timeline changes, setbacks happen, or you feel like you’re on a plateau.In this episode, Germán and I talk about:How to set realistic goals for yourself and your horseWhy preparation matters before shows or new experiencesHow to regroup after injury, setbacks, or time offTips for riders returning after breaks or navigating riding later in lifeOne of the biggest themes in this episode is learning to break big goals into smaller, more manageable pieces. Whether you’re preparing a young horse for their first outing, coming back after a break, or working through frustration when progress feels slow, I share practical reminders about patience, consistency, and celebrating the little wins along the way.We also talk about the learning process, video reviews, the canter challenge, staying fit as a rider, knowing the difference between being hurt and being injured, and giving both yourself and your horse the time you need to build confidence.Happy Riding,AmeliaP.S. RSVP for my webinar happening this Tuesday, especially if you’re a slightly older rider looking to stay confident, strong, and inspired in the saddle!
