Why We Delay Our Riding Dreams—And What to Do About It

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “One day, I’d love to…”—and then quietly moved on with your day?

Maybe it was about learning to ride again.
Or taking the next step in your schooling.
Or just spending more time with your horse, doing the things you actually enjoy.

That moment of hesitation?
It’s not laziness. It’s not lack of commitment.
It’s something I call the dream gap.

It shows up when we feel the pull of something we’d love to do—but we can’t quite see how to make it real.
Sometimes it’s life.
Sometimes it’s confidence.
Sometimes it’s that old, familiar “not yet.”

What Is the Dream Gap?

For riders, it can look like:

• Wanting to return after a long break

• Wishing you had a horse of your own

• Imagining yourself cantering again—or for the first time

• Thinking about competing at a level that feels exciting but safe

But the dream gap makes those things feel distant.
And when we don’t know how to begin, it’s easy to put the dream away for “another day.”

Vision Isn’t Enough (But It’s a Start)

You need vision. That’s where it begins.
But what bridges the gap is structure, clarity, and a sense of support that feels doable—not pressurised.

That’s why I created Achieve Your Equestrian Dreams.

Not as a challenge. Not as a checklist.
But as a quiet, rider-friendly space to explore what you want—and what’s been standing in the way.

What You’ll Find Inside

It’s a short guide with simple but purposeful exercises.
You’ll find:

• Space to name your dream and reconnect with what matters

• Gentle prompts to explore what’s holding you back

• A way to move from idea to action—at a pace that suits you

No declarations. No rigid timelines. Just space to think, reflect, and ride forward on your terms.
