Hey there!

Today, we're going to explore a common myth in the world of horse riding. It's the idea that mental toughness is solely an individual pursuit, and that riders must cultivate it on their own. But the truth is, mental toughness is a shared journey, and it's deeply connected to the support network riders have.

We'll start by delving into the reasons behind this myth and why it's so ingrained in equestrian culture. From iconic figures in Western films to the nature of solo competition in horse riding, we'll uncover how this myth has taken hold.

We'll also discuss the importance of mental toughness in riding and how it impacts our experiences. Riding can often feel like a personal journey of self-discovery and improvement, but it's crucial to recognize that mental toughness can be developed with the support of others.

In the podcast, we'll explore the different sources of support that contribute to a rider's mental toughness. 

Throughout the episode, we'll share inspiring stories, practical advice, and fresh perspectives to challenge the myth of solitary mental toughness in the horse world. So saddle up, and let's dive into this myth-busting adventure that will change the way you think about mental toughness in horse riding.
