How Adults Can Learn to Ride Like Kids Again — with Dr. Tracey Sulak

About this episode

Lynn Reardon discusses with Dr. Tracey Sulak how adults can learn to ride like kids again by adopting a more juvenile approach to learning.

In this fun, 10-min excerpt, I talk with Dr. Tracey Sulak of Baylor University—an expert in how kids learn—about what adult riders can take from a more juvenile approach. 🤸‍♀️ This was originally recorded in September 2025 as a private session for my Ride Like a Kid Again 4-week challenge. We get into: Why kids often learn riding more easily How adults get stuck overthinking How your adult brain can actually help you get your feel back If riding used to feel easier… this will click. Want help applying this to your own horse? That’s exactly what I teach inside Horse Wise® → https://horsewisecoach.com I’ll be running another Ride Like a Kid Again challenge later in 2026.
