Overtraining: When More Work Starts Making You Worse

<p>In the horse world, hard work is often celebrated. More rides. More drills. More exhibitions. More miles. More competitions.But what happens when more work actually starts making you worse? In this episode, we&#39;re talking about overtraining, what it is, why it happens, and how it affects both horses and riders. We&#39;ll discuss the difference between fitness and fatigue, the warning signs of overtraining, why recovery is a critical part of every training program, and how pushing harder isn&#39;t always the answer. Because fitness isn&#39;t built by how much work you can survive. It&#39;s built by how much work you can recover from.</p><p>Links &amp; Resources:</p><ul><li><p>Follow me on Instagram and TikTok at Rfr_rodeo for behind-the-scenes content</p></li><li><p>also visit our sponsors Tacktical and Ranch Dress’n using code Rfr_rodeo, Rocket Donkey and BuckedUp using code RachelF10, and Swingn9t using code RachelFenske14</p></li></ul><p>If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your rodeo friends!
