The Goal Setting Workshop for Riders

Become Clear on Your Goals for 2020 and Create a Plan to Reach Them!
(Details below)

​Have you ever been afraid to ride?

Felt a sense of dread when your foot hits the stirrup or started feeling queasy in your stomach just driving out to the barn?

Felt a tension through your shoulders that you just couldn’t seem to let go of, or felt your mind racing through a dozen different what if scenarios, even when you know your horse is calm and you aren’t in danger?

All riders, regardless of experience level, have experienced fear at some point.

You are not alone - whether you’ve had an accident that shattered your confidence, or you’re experiencing the frustration and trepidation of trying to learn a new movement skill as an adult, or stress from other parts of life is stealing the joy out of your riding – fear and anxiety is not unusual for riders.

We’ve accepted the risks of working with and riding a large and powerful animal – the horse. But the rewards are worth it – the feeling of connection with the horse, the thrill of moving together, and the times of flow – when it all comes together.

But when you’re struggling with fear, those moments can seem very far off.

The joy begins to disappear when every ride is accompanied by anxiety, and you feel more relief after dismounting than excitement to begin the ride.

You fear that your nervous energy is affecting your horse – at the least, making you stiff and tense on his back, or at worst, putting your horse on edge too.

The unfortunate truth is that no matter how common it may be, fear for riders is often brushed off with “just get back on” or “show him who's boss”.

Who wants to admit they are afraid when everyone else seems to just be having fun and taking things in their stride?

When you ignore your fear, you put yourself at risk. Sometimes fear is very appropriate – it is our internal warning system telling us something isn’t right and we need to make a change.

Other times, your fear may simply be holding you back, preventing you from moving forward in your skills, in your relationship with your horse, and from pursuing your riding dreams.

Building or rebuilding confidence isn’t always easy, but it is possible, and you can do it.

You need to take an objective view of your feelings... begin to look at how you feel about riding with curiosity rather than shame or disappointment.

Notice your emotions and what they trigger for you – the tight shoulders, sweaty hands, racing heart – but don’t try to talk yourself out of these feelings.
​
Create a simple, consistent plan to build your skills as a rider, learn to manage your emotions, and build a sense of calm confidence that will make you a great partner for your horse!
 
I would love to help you create this plan and find your confidence! In Calm & Confident Rider, you’ll work through a simple progression of exercises that will move you forward each day – you’ll be learning more about yourself as a person and as a rider. Let me tell you more…

"Thank you for making this available. It is really helping me as I prepare to get back in the saddle after hip replacement."
"The Goal Setting Workshop was so helpful to me last year! I had to think realistically about my goals and think about how to break them down so they could be reached. At the end of 2018, I wrote a list of achieved goals. I not only surpassed the goal set in that workshop, but very quickly had more than 10 achieved goals on my list. There were many more also."
