Goal setting is all about clarifying your destination and having fun with the journey. Read more about it on my post

People who know me well, will know that I love setting goals for my horses and for myself. I would like to talk a little about why I like having goals.

Sometimes after a holiday I feel fill of excitement to be back horse riding again. And other times I am despondent. Read more about this in my blog www.confidencecreators.com/blog

Conventional wisdom states that if we work hard and train hard we will be more successful. And if we are more successful, we will be happier. If we can find that great horse, win that next competition, happiness will follow. But I challenge you : happiness fuels success, not the other way around. Be happier, enjoy life more, ride happier and success becomes a bi-product

Great day at the office today. Heloise Tolo won the mini Prix with her amazing jumper Pierre and meanwhile at Wairarapa Horse Trials at Clareville Rebecca Wilson and the sublime Soren won the 1.05 while Kate Fleming’s talented pair Goldie and Louie oozed talent in the Two star. I use to try and keep up with those I coach but now I am happy to mainly watch - although I enjoyed the win in the 150th Wanganui Derby Championship
Here is Heloise and Pierre.

Recently I had the privilege to work with Andrea Thomson, who at 75 years old, is a passionate carriage driver. Andrea was challenged to remember her course around the hazards that they meet in their Combined Driving competitions. Indeed she had been eliminated 4 times in her previous 6 starts before coming to visit me, Andrea and I discussed a range of tactics and strategies, and here are her words on the outcome ...." As you saw I won my class at the carriage driving champs!!! I have a lot to thank you for, as if you had not helped me I would not have achieved that. Staying focused and positive and saying only positive messages to myself all the time........" Congratulations Andrea! If you would like to improve your competitive outcomes, regardless of your discipline, email me at [email protected].

Take this exciting opportunity to talk online with me at Confidence Creators in a FREE one-on-one 20 minute session.!

Hi Sarah Milne here from Confidence Creators. Do you feel nervous, or anxious, or worried when you are with your horse? Maybe it is concern about your safety? Maybe it is fear about the outcome of your ride?

Do you find this nervousness invades your sense of well-being and also the outcomes you strive to achieve. Sometimes do you have a dry mouth, or a racing heart, or a stomach that is in turmoil, or a pervading sense of doom? Perhaps you are too afraid to ride out with others, or to hack to the beach or the forest?

Whatever it is, if you would like to learn more about quelling your anxiety, or your intimidation with your horse,

Simply press the message button and we can arrange a time that is suitable for you and for me.

I look forward to talking with you soon.

In Confidence
Sarah

Really enjoyed being part of a beautifully run Horse Trials on the weekend. Such fun to participate amongst a group of supportive caring people. I am sure it is one reason why equestrian sports remain strong.

Horse riding parents are so important to young riders. Most usually they are a young rider’s first sponsor - funding the whole, or most of, the sport. Good parents provide encouragement and support. Sometimes I see young riders being positive and supportive back but too often I see unappreciative riders. This is a message to all young riders out there : Love your parents! Heap praise and appreciation on them! Be kind and patient! Enjoy and jest with them! Keep a smiling face and have fun 🦄🦄🥕🥕❤️

I would like to share a story with you. When I returned to New Zealand from the United States I inherited one horse and bought another. Both horses needed to be started. Unfortunately the first one turned out to be a rodeo number and I needed help to get him rideable and never trusted him after being bucked off twice combined with several other good strong attempts. The other horse turned out to be a superstar-in-the-making with a huge jump and an awesome temperament. Yet as I cantered down to metre fences and he leapt over them in two metre bounds I had to ask myself what I was doing. I am In my 60th year and the days of hurtling over huge fences have gone. I started to procrastinate about riding
and when I did ride I stuck to safe, dismal activities. Where was the fun in my life? I finally decided to quit and I sold each horse. But the desire to ride was still there. I wanted a horse whom I could enjoy and the horse, in turn, would have fun too. I wrote a brief for a horse that was 16 hh, jumped kindly and capably, did some dressage, hacked out alone and in company and was an absolute pleasure to handle. Then I just had to go and find it! After a focused search and with some advice from a good friend Kate Fleming I found a lovely horse called Magnum owned by Olivia Waddy and prepare by Charlotte Campion. Magnum was everything I dreamed about. And, importantly, I think Magnum enjoys living with me and having fun together

The moral of the story is: if your horse isn’t right for you, ask yourself honestly if you are better to sell him and find a horse that suits your desires more. If the horse matches your dreams you will have so much more fun together.

Confidence is absolutely key to achieving your riding goals. With Confidence comes the ability to really enjoy your sport, your horse will also enjoy the new “You” free from anxiety, apprehension or fear.

Horses sense a lack of confidence. They feel tense muscles, quick jerky movement, shallow breathing, fearful posture etc. Horses can smell fear, see fear, hear fear and feel fear. Then they will mirror the fear they sense around them.

Confidence means so much when you are with your horse.

Confidence means different things to different people. For one person, confidence may mean being able to saddle their horse and ride it down the road feeling happy. For another person, confidence may mean riding a dressage test in front of a crowd of spectators. For another person, confidence may mean clearing a show jumping course.

What ever confidence means for you, if you would like to experience more of it, join Confidence Creators for Horse Riders online course. It will be out very soon.
