DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Veteran and novice riders alike fear the sport they love. Fear takes many forms -- fear of injury; fear of failure; fear of performance. The authors, Dr. Jordan and Mr. De Michele, address all these fears as well as other horse related phobias with proven, psychologically based techniques.Overcoming the Fear of Riding is founded on the psychological principles of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), which counselors and psychologists have used successfully for three decades to help people reduce emotional distress.REBT shows how the rider can reduce anxiety, channel positive energy, and use inner thoughts to the best advantage. It helps riders end nervousness and negative thoughts that sabotage their riding experience. The book also helps post-trauma riders, whose fears may prevent them from resuming riding after an accident; competitive riders whose fears may interfere with show performance; and casual riders, who would like to derive more pleasure from leisure riding. The authors use many case studies and interviews with well-known Western and English riders.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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.
