Remember when your childhood riding goals were as wild as teaching your pony piaffe or jumping picnic tables? Somewhere along the way, those fearless dreams turned into adult overthinking and endless “what ifs.”

In this episode of Equine’n’Wine, sisters Emma-Jane in Ireland and Lorna in South Africa uncork a bottle and dive into the funny, frustrating, and all-too-relatable world of riding goals. From perfectionism paralysis and fear of failure, to the partnership side of setting goals with your horse, they explore why adults find it harder to commit — and how we might steal back some of that childlike confidence.

You’ll also get slightly “tipsy” goal-setting advice you can try this week (reward = wine 🍷), plus the usual banter and honesty you’ve come to expect.
