Wherever you are right now - with your horse, your ability, your confidence and your self esteem, your destination is to be free take part in any activity or event with a sense of fun, with excitement not fear, and ride like you intended to when you first decided to get on a horse. It's not the riding you do now - or the horse that you have - or how much you have or haven't achieved in the past. Your success is already fixed in the investment you've already made, the foundation you've already laid - the time, the money, the worry, the magazines, the books, the lessons, the articles, the knowledge you've acquired, the effort, the rain, the snow, the numb fingers, the cold, the sunburn, the lugging hay bales, the early mornings and the aching muscles - all of the obstacles that you've had to go through to get where you are right now - and this same character is begging you to allow it to take you step by step to being the rider you want and deserve to be. It's inevitable and it will happen for you, and all you have to do is allow it. Every horse deserves to be ridden to the very fullest of it's potential, and every rider deserves to ride as they've always dreamt to, and you can learn not only the steps to take, but how to take those steps ..... and just what makes the achievers different to the wishers and the dreamers. "To each there comes in their lifetime special moment when they're figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing unique to them and fitted to their talents.

Download or read book Brain Training for Riders written by Andrea Monsarrat Waldo and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know there is an area of your brain known as the “Lizard Brain” that thinks only about the immediate moment and your means of survival? Yes, in certain circumstances, your “Rational Brain” can effectively “shut down” and you are at the mercy of a reptile ... dry-mouthed, sweating, queasy, unable to think clearly—even though you know better. When does the Lizard Brain run the show? It can happen in any number of unfamiliar, uncomfortable, challenging, or “stressful” riding situations. But here’s the thing: with the right kind of training, you can learn to manage the reptile within, which leads to greater confidence with horses, better riding performance, and ultimately, happiness at the barn, at shows, and everywhere in between. Andrea Monsarrat Waldo teaches you how to: handle uncomfortable emotions, such as fear, anger, anxiety, and embarrassment; hone your mental game and focus your riding time to get the most out of your hours in the saddle; care for your emotional injuries the same way you would care for an injured horse; and produce a state of “Focused Calm” and tap into the skills you have (whether you know it or not!) to ensure an outstanding ride.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integral part of competing in equestrian sports is having to face the performance anxiety that presents itself at competitions. In this work, author Daniel Stewart explains that the pressure, stress, nerves, distraction, and anxiety come hand in hand with doing what we love to do. It also reminds us that competing in equestrian events is a real sport, and riders are forced to deal with the competitive nature of showing. Stewart explains that, while riders love to do what they do, this love is sometimes lost in the panic of showing and performing. Stewart then walks the rider through specific tools and tricks to manage and overcome the stress, fear, and anxiety, and how to embrace and enjoy every minute of performing with your equine partner. From "Plan the Ride, and Ride the Plan," to overall mental training, this must-have book is a fantastic tool for any competitor to overcome their show jitters and do their best at every competition, while feeling confident and happy throughout the experience.

Book excerpt: The very existence of stress generates more stress. The more of it that piles up, the less we're able to cope. It's time to take back control.

Pairing the science of what happens in our brains and our bodies when we become stressed, with personal accounts and patient cases, Dr Chatterjee provides easy to implement solutions for the whole spectrum of stressors we face on a daily basis. From identifying our 'Micro Stress Doses' - those individual portions of stress we encounter moment to moment, and our 'Macro Stress Doses' - those big adverse life events that can have long-lasting impact; Dr Chatterjee will take you on a journey to regain control over your stress, rather than it having control over you.
