    Episode 4: Managing life’s transitions and competition anxiety with Kaitlin Martin

    Welcome to another exciting episode of "The Riders Circle" – your go-to podcast for all things equestrian! I'm your host, Alycia Targa, and today, we have a special guest who has truly left her hoofprints in the equestrian world. Let me introduce you to the incredible Kaitlin Martin.

    Kaitlin's journey through the equestrian world is nothing short of inspiring. From her early days as a show rider, her passion for horses led her to dive headfirst into the world of dressage. But, as life often does, it presented her with choices and challenges.

    Kaitlin's story takes an exciting turn as she finishes high school and decides to pursue a double degree, opening doors to a career outside of horses. But her love for these majestic creatures never wavered. Balancing her studies with her equestrian pursuits became a high-wire act, and Kaitlin had to master the art of time management.

    However, as if that wasn't enough, Caitlin found herself facing yet another hurdle – the transition from competing at high-level events to refocusing on young homebred horses. It was a humbling experience, but one that brought her closer to the essence of horsemanship.

    Throughout her incredible journey, Kaitlin also recognised the importance of mental fortitude. To manage her anxiety during competitions, she sought the guidance of a sports psychologist, learning valuable techniques that helped her overcome obstacles both on and off the saddle.

    So, join us as we delve into Kaitlin Martin's equestrian adventures – the triumphs, the challenges, and the lessons she's learned along the way. We'll explore the delicate balance between pursuing a career outside of horses while keeping her passion alive, and how she manages to fit everything in while running her own business.

    Whether you're a seasoned equestrian seeking inspiration or a young rider just starting out, Kaitlin's story is sure to captivate your heart and ignite your own equestrian dreams. So, grab your riding boots, saddle up, and join us in "The Riders Circle."
