So, this week I brainstormed a few ideas to banish my winter riding slump. I\u2019ll share them with you here in the hopes that you\u2019ll share some of your own ideas with our blog followers. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-33699\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Anna-and-Donkeys-2-557-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Anna-and-Donkeys-2-557-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Anna-and-Donkeys-2-557-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Anna-and-Donkeys-2-557-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Anna-and-Donkeys-2-557-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Anna-and-Donkeys-2-557-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Anna-and-Donkeys-2-557-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Let Your Inner Child Out<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was a kid I thought nothing of jumping on my horse bareback and galloping across our open field. As an adult I\u2019ve grown a bit stodgy when it comes to my riding. Now, I\u2019m not saying I\u2019m going to hop on my horse bareback and gallop away, but I did think of some creative ways to let my inner child out. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of the same old arena exercises, my barn buddies and I are getting together to play mounted games. Pole bending, flag races, don\u2019t spill the water, and even a low-key barrel race are great ways to banish boredom. They also help to improve my seat naturally. One of the girls has even suggested we have a mock polo match with a beach ball and sticks. Of course, we\u2019ll be sure to desensitize our horses to flying beach balls and waving sticks before that first match!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step Outside of \u00a0Your Comfort Zone<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I saw a bumper sticker the other day; \u201cLife Begins at the Edge of Your Comfort Zone.\u201d How true! There\u2019s nothing like the adrenalin rush from trying something new and exciting. It doesn\u2019t have to be scary; just slightly outside of \u00a0your comfort zone will do. A winter trail ride on your dressage horse or a barrel race on your hunter jumper horse can put a little life back in your ride. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>If You Don\u2019t Have an Arena, Create One<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t \u00a0have an arena to ride in, build your own imitation \u2018arena\u2019. One of the best lessons I ever had was in the middle of a tough winter. My instructor\u2019s husband plowed paths through a snowy field to create a real-life maze. Riding through that maze was a ton of fun and super challenging. I couldn\u2019t stop smiling and my lesson horse enjoyed himself as well! <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wear Bright Colors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equestrian show attire can be a little dull. Why not add a shot of color if you\u2019re not showing this winter? Invest in a colorful new saddle pad or add a little bling to your horse\u2019s bridle. Every time you reach for his new colorful tack, you\u2019ll smile. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Teach Your Horse Something New<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not the only ones to feel bored in the winter. Our horses get bored, too. I recently taught my horse to touch objects with his nose. Target training is fairly easy and helps your horse focus on your intention. Try this from the ground at first and then from in the saddle. I like to put little flags around the arena to help my horse find the \u2018target\u2019. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-33489\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Qualities2-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Qualities2-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Qualities2-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Qualities2-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Qualities2-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Qualities2-560x375.jpg 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Qualities2-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Qualities2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Take Lessons in Another Discipline <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m a trail rider, but I\u2019ve taken several dressage lessons as well. I\u2019ve also taken a sprinkling of hunter jumper lessons, even though I ride western. If you have trouble finding an instructor to come to you, consider auditing lessons in barrel racing, polo, western dressage, and even horse-packing. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Lighten Up!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don\u2019t suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SADD), but I have friends who do. It\u2019s a well-known fact that adding good lighting helps combat this problem. Riding in daylight quality indoor light in the barn and in the arena can help. Step out of the dark ages by installing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rammfence.com\/barn\/horse-barn-and-arena-lighting\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High Bay LED Arena Lights<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or to the barn aisle. LED lighting will save you money in the long run and will help chase away those winter barn blues. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tidy-Up!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a well-known fact that clutter is bad for our delicate psyches. Clutter is distracting and time consuming. I sometimes feel I spend half my life just searching for misplaced tack. Tackle your de-cluttering in stages or set aside an afternoon to get organized. Get rid of all those empty bottles, broken combs, and gloves with no match. If you don\u2019t use it- sell it, give it away, or toss it. Create designated spaces for all those things you need to have in easy reach and pack away seasonal items you\u2019re not using. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Cash in Your Frequent Flyer Miles <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been putting off a vacation to a sunnier locale, now is the time to cash in your frequent flyer miles. There\u2019s nothing more inspiring than watching a few winter shows in Florida or taking a horse trip to jumpstart your own riding routine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019d love to hear \u00a0how our readers chase their winter horse doldrums away.
