How do you define success as a rider?

I used to define it by percentages on test sheets and the difficulty of dressage and jumping skills I could ride. I used to define it by how well I could stay on a horse that was trying to get me off.

Today I define it by how much my horses like me and want to look after me. I prefer not to have the conversation around how well can I stay on when a horse is trying to get me off. I want to have the conversation instead of how could this be enjoyable for the horse and how could it be so enjoyable that they would choose it.

With that can come some deep reflection work and a big journey in to emotional agility.
