The Mounting Block Test: Are You Really Ready Today?

The mounting block used to feel like a brick wall. Today, it gives me knowledge. In this episode of Turn Riding Fear Around, I share how the mounting block became one of the most valuable places to check in with myself and my horse before every ride. If you've ever struggled with riding anxiety, lost confidence at the mounting block, or wondered why some days feel easy while others don't, this episode will help you see the mounting block in a completely different way. Sometimes it isn't about courage at all—it's about listening to what your body, your mind, and your horse are trying to tell you. In this episode, you'll learn:• How to check in with your body before you get on• How to check in with your mind before you get on• How to check in with your horse before you get on Because some days your body says no.Some days your brain says no.Some days your horse has an opinion. The mounting block doesn't have to be a brick wall. It can become a doorway to better decisions, safer rides, and more joyful riding. If you're ready to feel healthier, stronger, and more confident in the saddle, join the Healthy Rider Reset Waitlist and take the next step toward riding with greater ease and confidence. https://elisehittinger.com/page/healthy-rider-reset-waitlist And if you'd like to keep going, explore the Turn Riding Fear Around playlist on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@elisehittingerCH )—and keep training courage into your riding. ????????
