Your challenge for the month of June relates to a new equine discipline. There are so many facets of the equine industry; I doubt anyone has dabbled in them all! So choose a discipline that you know very little (or nothing) about and set your goals for June around this discipline.
Consider different industries – horse breeding, horse racing, performance are all examples.
Consider different breeds of horses – ponies, light horses, heavy horses (you can be more specific, say, wanting to focus on the Falabella, Akhal Teke or Percheron)
Perhaps you’d like to consider a different sport – polo, polocrosse, eventing, novelties or even the Ride and Tie (link).
Once you’ve decided what area you want to learn about, then set yourself some goals:
- Find out what is involved in the industry / makes a horse a specific breed / the rules of the particular sport
- Search for local avenues to meet people who take part in your chosen discipline
- Find forums or groups online where you can be introduced to others who are passionate about this area of horses
- Create five questions you’d like an answer to about this discipline and write them down and a date by which you’d like to have answers
- If you’re able to find someone locally (or willing to travel) and feel confident about approaching people, consider sourcing places where you can go to get some hands on in this new area, or take up lessons
As per usual, now that you have pen to paper (or words on a computer screen) make sure you set deadlines, tell someone about your goals for the month and get started 🙂
