Ever caught yourself pressured  to reach your goals or to win a competition or to learn a riding technique? 

Does the pressure seem too much at times? 

Here's the thing, WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE & IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL! 

Sometimes we'll find ourselves in the middle of an amazing canter or an early morning ride, setting goals that seem too big, too grand, too out-of-reach. And when such moments of doubt cloud your mind, it's important to remember a few empowering thoughts:

• BIG GOALS ARE GOOD
  Don't shy away from setting big goals, even if they seem too far away right now. Big goals make us push ourselves and grow. If your goals don't make you a little nervous, they're not big enough!
  
  
• DON'T WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING AT ONCE
  Life, like riding, can be unpredictable. You don't need to have all the answers right now. Just focus on the next step and trust that when you get to your goal, you'll be ready for it.
  
  
• DREAM, BELIEVE & RELAX
  Have clear goals and trust in your ability to reach them. But don't get too hung up on the 'when' and 'how.' Focus on what you can do right now, and the rest will follow.
  
  
• Bonus Tip! 🏇🏻 IF OTHER'S CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU!
  Everyone experiences pressure. Many have learned to ride better under it, and you can too! This is not just a feel-good line but the very essence of what makes a great rider. After all, what's an equestrian without a little courage, a dash of resilience, and a heart full of dreams? 🌟

May these empowering thoughts guide you and make your riding journey more rewarding.
