Why Am I Scared to Ride When I Used to Be Fearless?
from Turn Riding Fear Around · host Elise Hittinger
You used to be the rider who just got on and RODE. No committee meeting.No 47 possible What If scenarios.Just LET'S GO!!! So what happened? In this episode of Turn Riding Fear Around, we're talking about why experienced riders can suddenly become scared to ride—even when they used to feel completely fearless on a horse. There's a whole lot of life wisdom between Fearless Kid You and the rider you are today. More experience. More knowledge. Maybe a fall or two. A different horse. And possibly a body that doesn't bounce quite like it used to. You don't need to erase everything you've learned to rebuild your riding confidence. You get to bring that wisdom with you and discover what the horsewoman you are TODAY needs to enjoy riding again. In this episode, you'll learn:• Stop asking, “How do I become fearless again?” Start Asking, “What do I need to enjoy riding NOW?”• Keep the wisdom but set the fear down• Invite Fearless Kid You back into the ride with your wisdom. You don't have to become the fearless rider you used to be.Fearless Kid You doesn't need the reins.Maybe she just needs to ride double with you. If riding fear or anxiety has changed the way you feel about getting on your horse, I'd love to help. A Calm-Ride Strategy Call gives us a chance to look at what's changed, what you need now, and create 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. ????????
