There is a power in 'failure'. Find the power that comes with admitting you ‘can’t do something. This leaves you to focus on other things that you can improve and do better.

We are not all meant to be able to do all things, so give yourself permission to let things go in order to focus on the things you can do and improve.

Cantering is a big one that fits in this category. There is so much pressure on people to canter, and sometimes due to age or injury its not something they can do well, and it can even put them at risk.

So what?

There are many disciplines where cantering is not a requirement, so focus on all the maneuvers that you can do without cantering, and become great at those!
