Cold mornings, cold nights

𝙒𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧 ❄️...

So I’d be lying if I’d say we’ve all had an amazing summer competing, going to clinics, fun rides and enjoying everything horsey we the unfortunate events with covid-19 it has put us into a unmotivated, uncertain state. So how are we going to stay upbeat and motivated ready for the darker nights, rainy days and frozen hands 🙌🏻?

1. Instead of getting your horse the latest collection of rugs (I’m guilty of this), 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙛𝙨 there’s nothing worse then getting soaking wet right through to your underwear 😬

2. Go watch your favourite elite equestrian on Horse & Country TV this is a good way to feel 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙 and 𝙪𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙙.

3. Winter gives us more quality time with our horses, with them staying in for longer and not wanting to go out as much. Take advantage of this and 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩 with your horse this winter.

4. Get out of bed early, bare with me. Sounds crazy, but there’s nothing more 𝙪𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 then watching the sun come up whilst your riding your horse.

5. If this current climate lets us, go to a lecture demo. Brain storm some new schooling exercises to make you 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 to ride, 𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣 or 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚. Or go and have a look at Paul Cornish Equestrian Online Training. For some motivating exercises!

6. Start a new discipline, this is always exciting. Me and blue have focused a lot on 𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙚 this summer which is obviously will always be our thing. But we’re tying some jumping this winter! Take the pressure off yourself and have 𝙛𝙪𝙣.

7. Do some online competitions! These are always so fun, inspiring and educational. E-Riders if your still wanting to compete this is a 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚, at the comfort at your own yard! Win, win.

8. Don’t back off your riding, this makes us miserable and makes us feel like all we do is clean poop all day long. Make sure you 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚, come summer you’ll look like Charlotte dujardin whilst feeling your riding 𝙗𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮. You won’t regret it.
