Staging A Comeback: Finding A Way Forward After An Extended Break Or Injury The Confident Rider Podcast

    • Hobbies

So here’s the current state of play.
Over the last little while, all three of my horses have had some time off. This definitely wasn’t in the game plan- they have all for different reasons had some physical niggles from unrelated incidents that made me think a few weeks of paddock rest was a good idea- and now I am finding myself in the position where we are needing to begin again.
This transition space is one that I’m in conversation frequently with other riders. There are so many reasons why we might find ourselves in the position of having to regroup after an extended break. It can be weather or seasonally related; it can be due to injury; it could just be that turning your horse out at specific times of the year is something that you do. Whatever the reason, there are some pretty common stuck points that rise up when it comes to picking up from where you left off including:
Overwhelm (and consequently procrastination) Anxiety Confusion about where to start and what to focus on In this episode, I share the process that I have been going through and talk in more detail about what’s going on in your brain space when such happenings rise to the surface!
Happy listening!
