- 052 Rider Self-Defeating Thoughts and How to Get Rid of Them
As equestrians, we've all had self-defeating thoughts at some point or another related to our riding. "We'll never be able to get a flying lead change." "I'll never be a good enough rider to compete at that level." And some of these thoughts are not conscious. They pop up unconsciously in our mind on those days when we are feeling less than awesome.
But words, whether spoken or just thoughts in our head, can have a huge impact on what happens in our life. That is why it is so important to watch what is going on in your mind.
In this week's episode of the podcast, Katrina talks about some of the common self-defeating thoughts that riders have and how to get rid of them.

About Strong in the Saddle
From the publisher's feed
If you love horses and ranch life, then you found the right podcast. My name is Katrina and I own a ranch with my husband in central Alberta. My passion for horses and the western way of life comes from my childhood growing up on a cattle ranch with my family. I created this podcast to share my life on the ranch and with horses. In each week's episode I try to be open and transparent about horse and ranch life - both the good and the bad. I truly dedicate all of my free time to my horses and our ranch.
Remember, it's always a good day to ride!
