What If I Don't Want to Ride Anymore?

What if “I don't want to ride anymore” isn't actually the whole story? What if what you really mean is...“I don't want to feel like THIS when I ride anymore.” In this episode of Turn Riding Fear Around, we're talking about what happens when riding fear, riding anxiety, or a loss of confidence leaves you wondering whether you even want to ride your horse anymore. You love your horse. You WANT to want to ride. But when riding has become filled with fear, tension, What Ifs, or anxiety, it's easy to start wondering whether maybe you're just done. There's a BIG difference between: “I don't want to ride anymore.”and...“I don't want to feel like THIS when I ride anymore.” Before you decide you're finished with horseback riding, give yourself a chance to figure out which one is really true for you—and what you would love riding to feel like instead. In this episode, you'll learn:• Ask, “If fear wasn't part of riding, would I still want to ride?”• Take some time to DREAM about what you would love riding to look like.• What's the biggest thing getting in the way of enjoying that dream? And what is one step to overcome. Maybe you're not done riding. If fear or anxiety is getting between you and the riding you want, a Calm-Ride Strategy Call gives us a chance to figure out what's getting in the way and find your next step toward enjoying riding again.  https://elisehittinger.com/scheduler/calm-ride-strategy 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. ????????
