Ever feel like you’re working so hard in the saddle… but nothing’s changing?

In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians, we’re exploring the key difference between training and retraining, and why understanding this shift can unlock your next breakthrough.

Whether you're working with an OTTB, returning to riding after a break, or helping your horse transition to a new job or discipline, this concept will help you see the real reason progress feels slow (or stuck).

We’ll cover:

• How to tell if you’re training or retraining (for both you and your horse)

• Why retraining is more emotionally charged and what that means in practice

• The 5 signs you're stuck in a retraining loop

• Why unlearning is just as important as learning in your riding journey

• Practical ways to move forward, including how to use video and coaching to shorten your progress path

This episode is your invitation to pause, reassess, and choose the right strategy, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

• What makes retraining harder than training (and why that’s okay!)

• How emotional habits in horses and riders impact progress

• Why that recurring issue might be a retraining challenge, not a new training need

• Real-life rider and horse examples you’ll probably recognize

• How to use the 5-question “Training or Retraining” test to figure out your next steps
