When Excuses Are Allowed!

In this 20 minute podcast I wanted to share with you some methods of setting goals to help you improve your riding and or relationship with your horse.  I include 7 reasons why setting goals is a good thing to do, and some rules to follow to get the most from the process.  I'm not wed to any one method of goal setting and use this opportunity to share with you different approaches I have used and continue to do so in my riding, my businesses and my life in general.   I hope you find something that resonates with you and that you'll give me a review or recommend this podcast to someone you think could benefit from it.   With thanks for listening in.  Debbie 

In this 10 minute podcast I will introduce some of the reasons why on line learning works for horse riders.  If you are seeking motivation, inspiration or help with confidence on line communities provide solutions.  In addition, I feature the Lucinda Green Cross Country on line Academy as an on line resource delivering great results for on line learning.  In short, if you are determined to be a good student find an on line course that offers both a community and a curriculum to follow at your own speed.    Why not have fun learning from the warmth of your lounge or snuggled up in bed this winter!  For more information about the Lucinda Green Academy go to her facebook page Lucinda Green XC Community.
