Every rider has one thing in common—no matter the horse they ride, discipline, or skill level—the universal experience of setbacks. In Julie Goodnight’s latest episode of the popular podcast, Ride On with Julie Goodnight, she talks about how riders have far more to gain from their training setbacks than they lose—if they have the right plan (JulieGoodnight.com/Podcast).
“Even with well-trained horses and experienced riders, eventually you will encounter a situation with horses where the unexpected happens,” says Goodnight.
In this episode, titled, Training Setbacks: How to Deal & Move Forward, Goodnight gives a wide array of examples of what can cause training setbacks to occur. These can range from having a negative experience at a competition, meltdowns due to separation anxiety, getting overwhelmed on the trail, refusals due to gradually increasing disobedience, a frightening experience, and even setbacks caused by physical pain.
“In my whole career with horses, I know of very few training setbacks that were permanent or insurmountable,” says Goodnight. “When you approach setbacks comprehensively, and with understanding and dedication, you will get past them.”
