Maintaining Perspective When Seasoning a Horse

On this episode, I'm answering an inbox question about a topic that addresses one of the biggest mental battles we have to overcome as trainers: "What advice would you give to someone who is having a hard time enjoying the process of seasoning a horse? I was feeling really good about our progress for the first few months, and here lately, it seems like we are getting worse with each run. Adding speed, I'm sure, has a lot to do with it, but I also feel like I am not executing my job as a rider well enough. I'm experiencing some feelings of guilt, feeling like I am holding the horse back from reaching her full potential as I'm going through the process of learning to become a better rider for these younger horses."  Tune in as I share the mindset shifts to make when you are seasoning a horse, as well as a few encouraging affirmations to help you maintain perspective in seasons of growth.
