FREE Podcast 31 - On how to get the best from your teacher, and mental rehearsal - https://dressagetraining.tv/mary-wanless-podcast/

When pupils are ‘going through the motions’ of getting the horse to go, teachers tend to ‘go through the motions’ as well - or to get really impatient. Staying patient requires the coach to maintain and identity/behaviour separation for the rider, realising that she might have good skills in other fields. Ideally, the coach ‘tunes’ herself, getting centred and present, to help her tune the rider who then tunes the horse. The coach is a role model for the rider. The story of the day I heard myself say ‘Don’t panic!”, and realised that I had let the horse and rider lead me astray! On TT courses we have lots of fun role playing our most challenging pupils, and finding strategies to get them in a learning mode - learning how to learn is the biggest gift we have to give.

MR helps you discover how much your brain knows, and primes your brain, which cannot tell the difference between real and imagined performance.

Just for the folk that may be wondering why I have changed my name on my Fb page, Is due to the increase in riders booking lessons and being a little surprised that its more about the rider and biomechanics (my main focus)
i will partner with you on your journey to becoming the best rider you can be, helping you find the tools that work for you to be more mindful, stronger, fitter and mentally focused and more in tune with your horse. You will learn strategies to overcome your roadblocks whether you ride for pleasure or competitively, the Performance coaching is for all disciplines and ages! Mental Mastery is a skill that you cannot ignore. 💚💙💜 !

A few snaps from Another successful clinic in Leeds at the weekend with riders making some amazing changes 👏🏻

24/03/2019

THE “comfort zone”: the zone where your actions and behaviours fit well into a routine and pattern that minimises stress and risk. It’s a comfortable place where we don’t feel threatened, everything always stays relatively the same, and that offers mental security..
Psychologists Robert Yerkes and John Dodson showed that a state of comfort created a steady level of performance. They also highlighted that if you want to increase your performance, a state of relative anxiety is needed—a place where stress levels are slightly higher than normal. This is called Optimal Anxiety and it’s beyond your comfort zone.
Now I think we all can say we have been there at some point and it’s not the nicest of feelings 😬 BUT finding the right balance for you in your riding is key to improve.
If your struggling with fear work to stay in the moment and do things slowly and purposefully. A committed plan with reasonable milestones will give you the confidence to get to a new place.

Who’s ready for their Franklin ball lesson?!! They will help you communicate with your horse’s movements, improve your seat and body awareness.

In my lessons the rider’s alignment and balance is crucial, physically adjusting your position is necessary in learning to feel. Initially any changes may feel strange, however by using visualisation techniques and trigger words to help the rider, new feelings become new habits. This is followed by work to strengthen the riders’ deep core muscles helping to tone the correct muscle chains that we need, improving stability, strength and precision.
