Squash Fear, Gain Confidence!
Build Confidence in and out of the saddle!

Nothing blocks change quite the way fear does, and when its power is greater than your power to push through it, fear can be devastating.  We can see evidence of this every day in the lives of others or even our own lives.  For instance, it could be the difference between being grounded with your horse, or enjoying a careless run through open meadows.  It can also be the difference between being relaxed standing next to your horse, and fearing your horses presence on the way to the barn in your car!

Squash Fear, Build Confidence! helps the participant better understand where their fear comes from, and how to overcome this feeling of anxiety in a non-forced, safe and productive manner.  Instead of letting fear stop you one step short of your goal, Squash Fear, Build Confidence! will help you develop healthy habits and behavior patterns that benefit you mentally and emotionally and give you the support you need in a safe and secure environment.

Fear persuades you to do less than you are capable.  It triggers internal defense systems and fools you into thinking that you have perfectly good reasons not to change!  Fear, particularly fear of making mistakes, causes indecisiveness and stops you from knowing what you really want.  It warps your perception of your life and what you can do to make it better.

“After my ‘steady-eddy” passed away of old age, I opted for a sportier model horse that looked very impressive.  That glamour faded quite quickly as my hacks out in the country turned from glorious to horrifying; bucking, running away and even falling were part of the daily regime that left me feeling fearful and afraid, a once very confident rider with my Buddy.  After looking at the whole situation from an outsider’s point of view, we realized that I had “over-horsed” myself and sold my runaway to someone who was better matched to him.  However, I was left broken and fearful even when riding old schoolmasters!  By taking small bite sized steps, creating a plan that was always within my reach but just slightly outside of my comfort zone, and “under-horsing” myself, my confidence soon returned, and so did my hacking out with joy!”

“By using vision statements, I was able to overcome a lifelong fear of cantering on my horse, something no one else has been able to help me with.  There was no force, no feeling of doom, just a positive vision and then the feeling of my horse and I cantering in a relaxed rhythmical fashion…amazing!”
