One small step to most, one giant leap for Tracy!!!
Had the absolute pleasure of teaching this lovely lady for the last few weeks! Tracy had been struggling with her confidence with her lovely boy over the last few months, and she was feeling a bit of guilt that she hadn’t been enjoying him the way she felt she should’ve been…. So we have spent a bit of time finding her spark again✨
After a long chat to try and understand a bit more about her feelings, we started with groundwork to help build their relationship from the floor- in my opinion this is the most important step, as if you don’t have an understanding from the ground why would you on their back!!!
I then had the pleasure of riding her lovely pony myself, and was also able to demonstrate to Tracy how bombproof and well behaved he was by doing a lot of flapping around & laying all over him 😅 he passed the test with flying colours and was more concerned about where to sneak a snack than what I was doing 🤣
After a few sessions, Tracy was feeling confident enough to have a try herself for the first time since December- and she not only did it, but did it with a huge smile on her face!!! Seeing the transformation from how upset she was before our first session, to the beaming smile and jumping for joy that she had just ridden her pony is the most rewarded & proud I have felt for a while💜 the only goal is for her to enjoy her boy again, and this was a huge leap in the right direction!!! Tracy’s journey is far from over, this is just the beginning, but I feel so privileged to be playing a part and am super excited to see where she goes!!! Go Tracy 🥳💜gregory
