https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailystridespodcastRight now, it’s tempting to turn to AI for everything, even in the saddle! Ask a question, get an instant answer. But when it comes to training horses and improving your riding, is that really helping you grow?

In this episode of Sunday Strides, Lorna shares a straight-talking perspective on how more riders are using AI as a shortcut, and how that shortcut can quietly take you off course.

If you’ve found yourself relying on AI-generated plans or “quick fixes” to solve riding problems, this is your reminder: riding isn’t about perfect answers - it’s about awareness, feel, and growth.

Lorna also shares 3 smart and intentional ways you can start using AI this week to support your riding journey, and why it’s all about asking better questions, not getting the perfect answers.

• How AI is showing up in riders’ daily routines, and where it’s quietly becoming a shortcut
