Your Comeback to Riding; The First 4 Rides...

So you've committed to get back into regular riding again.  And, you're taking it a step further this year by focusing on specific outcomes or goals to work towards in your riding and with your horse. But the 'goal' and the 'first ride back' are MILES apart!  In fact, very often the comeback to riding can feel a little overwhelming for many riders. How can you make those first 4 rides count for you and your horse - while still having fun, and feeling 'able'; especially after a long break from riding? In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, I will lay out a 4 day plan for you to follow so that you can stop 'pondering' and start working again with your horse.  And, obviously, you will have to apply common sense to this and tweak it for you and your horse's specific circumstances. Two of the most important factors when customizing your plan are why you stopped riding in the first place and how long have each of you been out of regular work.  Of course, there are a lot of other considerations, but these two tend to have the most impact on your overall decisions going forward. I have a blog post HERE about some of the factors to consider when bringing your horse back to work after a long break that might be helpful for you.
