Life doesn't always leave space for long, luxurious rides, but that doesn't mean your riding has to slide backwards. In this episode, Lorna shares a simple, intentional 10-minute riding plan that keeps you connected, consistent, and moving forward with your horse… Even when everything else feels chaotic.

If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I don't have time for a proper ride," this episode will show you how to make the most of the time you do have, and why short, focused riding sessions often create more progress than long, unfocused ones.

In This Episode, You'll Learn…

• Why a 10-minute plan can save your riding during busy seasons

• How to set up a smaller space to improve focus and reduce overwhelm

• Why "riding" doesn't have to mean being in the saddle

• The exact structure of the 10-minute riding plan

• What not to do when you're short on time

• Why intentional short rides often lead to better results than rushed long ones

• How to create momentum over 4–6 busy weeks using time windows, weekly focuses, and tracking
