Can Better Health Lead to Better Riding Confidence?

For years, I didn't realize how much my health was affecting my confidence in the saddle. The worse I felt physically, the less I trusted myself riding. It happened so gradually that I barely noticed it—until one day I had to sit down to put my socks on. In this episode of Turn Riding Fear Around, I explore the connection between rider health, riding confidence, mobility, flexibility, strength, and anxiety. If you've ever wondered why riding feels harder than it used to, why your confidence seems lower, or why you're struggling with things that once felt easy, your health may be part of the conversation. You'll learn:• Why declining health can quietly affect riding confidence• How to do a simple assessment using your clothes, your socks, and getting on and off your horse• Areas to start improving, including balance, flexibility, and strength Because confidence isn't just built in the mind.Sometimes it starts with feeling better in your body. And if you're ready to improve your health, mobility, flexibility, strength, energy, and riding confidence, join the Healthy Rider Reset Waitlist and be the first to hear when doors open. https://elisehittinger.com/page/healthy-rider-reset-waitlist Your horse may appreciate carrying around less of a stiff sack of potatoes too. ???????????? If you’d like to keep going, explore the Turn Riding Fear Around playlist on https://www.youtube.com/@elisehittingerCH and keep training courage into your riding.
