I apologise that I didn’t get around to posting an April challenge – it was a hectic month for me! Because I have missed it, I’ll post the April challenge for you of improving skills, as the challenge for the month of May!
In every job that we carry out, there are skills to be learnt and skills to be improved. Even if you’re not currently working, you can work towards your dream career and improve your skills by:
- Finding out what skills would be required of you in this job
- Learning as much about your desired work area as you can
- Practicing any skills that you may be able to, outside of the job
- Finding different ways to achieve the same thing – seek the advice of others already in this role or who have carried it out previously.
There are many, many skills to be learnt with horses. Don’t believe that there is only one way to approach a task with a horse as it won’t always work for every horse! Be patient and open minded – that’ll get you far.
If you’d like to set yourself a challenge with a deadline, list skills you feel that you can achieve over the short term:
- Write down beside each one a definition of what you’d like to achieve – e.g., to do something faster, to do something more neatly, safely, or to learn 3 different ways to do something (for example, put a halter on a horse).
- Beside this, put down a date that gives you a pending deadline to work towards – enjoy!
“His is a power enhanced by pride, A courage heightened by challenge, His is a swiftness intensified by strength, A majesty magnified by grace, His is a timeless beauty touched with gentleness, A spirit that calls our hearts to dream.” – Author unknown
