High Performance Values for Equestrians

she discovered that her true source of joy was not winning but the process of developing as a team with her horse and steadily growing her skill as a rider. 
We can choose the values we want to live our lives by both as individuals and as a team or group. When we are feeling lost or unsure about our next steps reconnecting with our values helps us to find and navigate the path forward. Have a look over your list of values and ask yourself how they align with equestrian sport and what they tell you about whats truly important to you. Remember once we are aware of our values we can choose new ones andor align ourselves with the ones we really need to reconnect to the joy of our sport.

Through choosing to value learning struggle challenge and constant improvement she had been able to really focus on and move through the training challenge she had been having with her horse.
