I don't come from a horse background. I'm 'first generation' I guess you could say. I have had a few rides as a teenager but horses were always a distant impossible dream.
.
Now I'm here with two horses and (just) three years of experience under my belt. I've worked with and trained Nico, and now Viva to do endurance riding. I have had to learn how to trailer horses, diet, riding skills, groundwork literally everything from scratch and by myself. I have successfully completed 1 50 mile ride and 3 25 mile Rides as well as something like 1000+ training miles - almost completely by myself.
.
The only way I've stayed safe and come as far as I have, is by living within my personal 'growth zone' - just beyond what is comfortable for me, yet barely still within my abilities and my confidence. This has allowed me to slowly but surely achieve things I couldn't even conceive to be possible just a few years ago. I literally couldn't safely ride Nico away from the paddock just 500yds, or trailer him by myself... Now such struggles are almost an afterthought.
.
Discover and find out the limits of your 'growth zone' for yourself - it's different for everyone! It is difficult, but the payoff is well worth the effort. Stay safe, be SMART, be patient, love your horse and your support system. Do hard things and reap the rewards. I'm cheering for you!
