I don’t know about you, but I’m SUPER excited for the new year ahead! I’m looking forward to an awesome year of riding and teaching all of my amazing students! We had a great start to the new year with one of my favorite events, my yearly Goal Setting Webinar. It was truly heartwarming to see so many riders there wanting to set goals and take action to improve their riding and relationship with their horses. Since then, it has been so fun to see all your posts inside Amelia’s Dressage Club about your goals for the new year and how things are going as you take steps towards reaching them!
Dressage is hard, and I’m so thankful that we have such an amazing and supportive community of riders. Seeing all your posts and the smiles on all your faces as you learn and grow with your horses makes all the hard work that goes into making my YouTube videos, free mini-courses, webinars, and paid content worthwhile. As you probably know, my mission is Dressage for All, and I’m all about bringing quality riding education to any rider who wants to Learn to Love Their Ride.
Hopefully, you have set some goals for 2024, and are on your way to reaching them already! Remember, small steps make a big difference. It’s all about the journey and enjoying the process! That said, we all have ups and downs along the way, but that’s why I do what I do! Everyone needs education, community, and support to help them progress. Make sure that you join us in Amelia’s Dressage Club for support and community along your journey, and if you’re ever feeling stuck, don’t hesitate to explore the vast video library and many free mini-courses available on my website, or even pop me a quick message or question in the comments of one of my posts or videos! And stay tuned – there are more awesome YouTube videos coming soon as well as many educational events that are scheduled in the upcoming months! Check out several we already have in the schedule below!
You’re making me blush, thank you Marlene.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank Marlene for taking the time to leave a Google review. It’s wonderful to hear how all the YouTube videos, free mini-courses, and workshops have helped you make progress with your horse! I love hearing from all my students, whether you are enjoying the YouTube videos, free mini-courses, or one of my paid programs. Hearing how the educational resources have helped you and your horse really brings joy to my heart. As I’ve mentioned before, my mission is Dressage for All – I’m all about making quality Dressage training education accessible to all riders. If you’ve been enjoying any of the YouTube videos, free mini-courses, webinars, or paid programs, I’d love to hear from you in a Google review. Reviews really help me out by giving me credibility and helping other riders just like you find my content and know that the training tips actually work! Leave a review here.
