The Relationship Between Self-Trust, Leadership, and Rider Confidence

What if rider confidence has less to do with your horse... and more to do with your relationship with yourself? In this episode of Turn Riding Fear Around, I explore the connection between self-trust, leadership, and rider confidence. Many riders spend years focusing on their relationship with their horse, while rarely stopping to consider the relationship they have with themselves. If you've ever struggled with riding confidence, leadership, self-doubt, anxiety around your horse, or feeling uncertain in the saddle, this episode may help you look at confidence from a completely different perspective. In this episode, you'll learn:• Take stock of your energy. Timid, confident, or somewhere in between.• Do one thing each day to move 1% toward confident.• Let your horse participate. Play with your energy around your horse. Because horses often respond to far more than our cues. They respond to our energy, our leadership, and the confidence we bring into the relationship. In this episode, I share how one horse in particular, Binky, taught me a powerful lesson about leadership. I had to take a hard look in the mirror and realize that being timid, overwhelmed, and chaotic wasn't serving either of us. Once I stepped into leadership, everything began to change. If you're ready to improve your health, energy, confidence, and leadership both in and out of the saddle, join the Healthy Rider Reset Waitlist and be the first to hear when doors open.Your horse may be waiting for you to step into the leader they already know you can be. ???????? https://elisehittinger.com/page/healthy-rider-reset-waitlist 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.
