A solo trail ride? Cantering without fear? Trotting down centerline at a show with a big smile on your face? "Riding with confidence” might look slightly different for everyone in terms of your specific goals, but all riders need to grow and develop their confidence. We need confidence to be good leaders to our horses and to be able to build our skills in the saddle. The more skills you can build, the more your horses will trust you and you'll feel that confidence grow! So tell us: What are your goals right now and what does "riding with confidence" look like for you?
