How to Get Out of a Riding Slump Fast - #233
Ever felt like everything was working… and then suddenly it’s not?
In this episode, I and Lorna dive into something every rider experiences (often more than once): A slump.
When confidence drops, things that felt easy suddenly feel impossible, and you start questioning everything - your riding, your ability, even your horse.
We break down what’s actually happening during a slump, why it’s not a step backwards, and how to work your way through it without spiraling. Because this isn’t the end of your progress, it’s part of it.
What You’ll Learn:
- What a “slump” really is (in simple terms)
- Why slumps feel sudden and unexplained
- The real reason your confidence drops
- How your brain shifts into “threat mode”
- Why you’re not actually going backwards
- How to stop the negative spiral
- Practical ways to rebuild confidence quickly
- Why small wins are the key to getting back on track
