Lost my motivation for riding
I've completely lost my motivation for riding. I ride once a week at a riding school. I still love horses of course, but I just don't feel like coming to the yard is fun anymore. I don't want to feel this way but I don't know what to do. I need every tip there is, thanks.

Motivation is tricky, because it goes up and down for everyone. There are several things you can do to find inspiration, which can help you feel more motivated. Often, though, it is important to think about what you believe the reason is for your motivation being lower right now. It might be down to dreary weather or having a lot on at school, in which case the important thing is perhaps to try to stick with it and see whether you can find a bit of inspiration. Or something may have happened, such as moving to a new group where you are not happy. In that case the most important thing is probably to start there and make a change 💫
