Whether you’re an experienced rider or just starting out, setbacks are a natural part of the journey. Instead of viewing them as failures, this episode explores how to embrace challenges, trust the ups and downs, and develop the resilience needed to grow as both a rider and a partner to your horse. Through powerful insights, and practical mindset shifts, you’ll learn how to reframe frustration into opportunity, celebrate the small victories, and stay motivated even on tough days.
