Turn Fear Around Podcast: Pre-Ride Warm-Ups for a Confident Ride

In this episode, we dive into the importance of a pre-ride warm-up to set you up for a confident, safe, and enjoyable ride. It may sound simple, but without a clear plan, the warm-up can easily be overlooked—leaving you feeling unprepared and your horse less focused. A solid warm-up not only reduces the risk of injury but also helps you build trust and connection with your horse.

Join us for bite-sized, actionable episodes (usually 5-10 minutes) that offer simple tools and techniques to help you turn your fear around. Whether you're struggling with riding anxiety, dealing with a nervous horse, or just looking to regain your confidence, these episodes will leave you with something you can do right away. Plus, you can always re-listen when you need a refresher.

 In This Episode, We’ll Discuss:

1. Mind - Warm up your thoughts for an enjoyable ride
2. Flexibility - Warm up your movement
3. Balance - Play with your Balance

I have prepared a pre-ride checklist for you and your horse!
