You're in the arena. It's just you and your horse. No trainer. No instructor. Just the two of you - riding alone. This probably wasn't the plan, yet here you are. And if you're like most riders, it's not the riding alone that's the problem... It's what tends to creep in when you do:

You lose motivation
You skip the structure
Progress stalls (or feels non-existent!)
Boredom shows up
You start questioning everything
And before you know it, you're wondering if you're going backwards

This week's Strides Revisited episode goes back to the heart of riding alone, and how to actually keep moving forward when it's just you and your horse.

"Riding alone can work brilliantly if you know how to keep yourself inspired, accountable, and structured."

In this episode, you'll learn:

The 5 sneaky roadblocks riders face when going solo
How to create small wins that keep you showing up
Why having markers in the arena can change everything
How to start holding yourself accountable (even without a coach)
The power of timing, tracking, and planning (yes, even as a solo rider!)

Listen in and rediscover how to take ownership of your riding, and do it in a way that actually feels fun again.
