Are you confused about how to make your dream into a goal? If you are, you are not alone. This is especially common with riders who have relationship type goals. _To form the bond I have always dreamed of. _I dream of having a connection with him…. _To do anything on my horse with more confidence, and just have fun_ Relationship isn’t WHAT you do…its how you handle the questions or challenge that come up. SO LET’S THINK OF THIS BACKWARDS FOR A MOMENT. If you desire to: “To form the bond I have always dreamed of.” What would you DO…if you had that bond? Would you go gallop down a trail? Haul to the mountains and go camping? If you: “dream of having a connection with him…._” What would you go DO…if you had that connection? Would ride through the countryside to visit a friend?
Would you go on a cattle drive? If you could snap your fingers…and instantly know that you could: “do anything on my horse with more confidence, and just have fun.” _ What would you go DO? Would you enter a show? Maybe try reining or dressage or jumping? If you had a better connection WITH your horse…what would you go do? What if you have it backward?  What if the goal is what helps you develop the relationship?
