How are you showing up for what you say you want in your riding?

In this quick Sunday Strides pep talk, we’re diving into the powerful (but often uncomfortable) truth: you can’t receive what you’re working toward if you’re not in alignment with it.

Many riders set goals like building confidence, improving their seat, or developing better contact. But then...
- They avoid the saddle
- Rush through rides stressed
- Or keep drilling the same old exercises and expecting a different result

In this episode, Lorna invites you to pause and check in:

• Are your actions aligned with your intentions?

• Are your habits and mindset helping, or quietly sabotaging, your goals?

• Are you creating space for the results you say you want to actually arrive?

Because real progress in your riding often starts within...

Have you ever felt like you're just a passenger when riding? Or like you've forgotten how to “feel” your horse underneath you?

In this Strides Revisited episode, we’re bringing you Week 1, Day 2 of the Original Returning to Riding Program; a guided audio ride designed to help you gently reconnect with your horse and yourself in the saddle.

Whether you’re returning to riding after a break or simply want to become more intentional with your seat and rhythm, this ride will help you:

• Tune into your horse’s natural rhythm

• Re-establish balance and posture through your seat

• Begin riding from feel, without overthinking every step

• Build quiet confidence, ride by ride

It’s a simple, supportive lesson to help you get back into your body and into the moment with your horse.

Do you ever feel like you're constantly learning new things—but your riding still isn’t improving?

You’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why so many riders get stuck in the learning loop: collecting content, planning obsessively, and overthinking every ride - without actually making progress in the saddle.

You’ll hear real stories from three riders I’ve worked with inside Restart & Reschool Private Coaching, and how they moved from stuck and frustrated to focused and confident again. The secret? It wasn’t more knowledge. It was action.

Whether you’ve been out of the saddle for a while, feel like you’ve plateaued, or just want to ride better with less stress—this episode is for you.

• The “content collecting trap” keeps riders stuck

• Why learning alone doesn’t create progress

• Real breakthroughs from 3 different riders

• How short, focused rides can change everything

• What to do when fear or perfectionism holds you back

• An invitation to take your first step with the Your Signature Ride Challenge
