Grit 101 (Get Gritty Boot Camp)
What exactly is Grit?
Grit is defined by leading positive psychologist and grit researcher Dr. Angela Duckworth as "passion and perseverance for long term goals."
And that is what our horsemanship journey is, isn't it? To be successful and happy along this wild ride, we need a passion for horses, and the perseverance to get back in the saddle.
It takes more than just a love for horses. For those of us that want to be the best riders that we can possibly be, it becomes part of our life's purpose, because we just can't imagine a life without horses in it. It takes dedication to practice, always seeking to improve our skills and abilities to communicate with our equine partners.
Gritty Riders go after those big dreams. They believe in themselves and their horse. Gritty Riders do not take the easy road and stay in their comfort zone. Gritty Riders reach for greatness, striving to learn more every day, and embrace their unique horsemanship journey.
Getting Gritty doesn't happen overnight. Developing the Grit necessary to be confident both in and out of the saddle, to be calm under pressure, and to be focused to achieve your dreams is a lifelong journey. We are all works in progress. We all have the ability to improve our horsemanship, to learn and grow and strengthen our bond with our equine partners.
