Remaining Winter / Spring dates with spaces –

Feb 24th - Confident Rider Dismounted Workshop.
With Becky Chapman, NLP Master Practitioner, Sports Psychologist, Biomechanics and Core Conditioning for Horses Coach.
• 10am – 4pm, Ashen Equestrian Centre Clubroom
Confidence – a precious commodity – but easily eroded.
One incident – whether real or imagined.
One comment – from a “helpful” friend or thoughtless onlooker.
One thought – “What if”, “Not again”, “Why me”.
Become the Confident Rider (& person) you would like (& deserve) to be.
Learn tools for managing –
Your Identity
Your Behaviour
Your Beliefs and Values
Your Capabilities and Skills
Your Environment
Your Thoughts
Your Fears
Your Unconscious
Your Life
YourSELF!
“The most amazing thing happened with the’ fear of what might happen’ stuff we did. When I ride now, instead of my mind going off at a million miles an hour about what may happen, it just stops, like a circuit breaker at the ‘what if? And then I focus on what I’m doing. I really wouldn’t have believed it unless I had experienced it. Thank you so much. Like I said, gaining confidence is like winning the lottery (not that I’ve ever won it sadly!) but it feels great. Just going for a hack in my lunch hour.” S.B
