Techniques that Boost Your Confidence and Calm Your Mind
In this final boot camp episode, I share three quick techniques to help equestrians feel more confident and calm while riding. These methods are perfect for managing intrusive thoughts, anticipatory nerves and negative feelings: Technique 1: The Power of "Stop" Interrupt negative thoughts and feelings by saying "stop" firmly and repeatedly. Technique 2: Instead of focusing on the start of your ride, visualise yourself 15 minutes after the ride, feeling accomplished and relaxed. This helps reduce anticipatory nerves and the fear of becoming frightened. Technique 3: Peripheral Vision (Hakalau) Start by practising looking upwards and expanding yo...

Maria helps equestrians develop mental fitness so they can enjoy their riding and make progress. She is a horse rider who has battled with negative thoughts and emotions that have hindered her own progress and enjoyment. She used to become anxious before and during lessons, worried about forgetting my course/making mistakes in competitions and even who was watching! She says that even when she looks back on her p...

Scarcity mindsets are created out of a fear of losing something - money, time, opportunities. As riders, the perception of having no money or time or that others get all the opportunities is common.

However, we do strive to multitask and this can be our undoing - it wrecks grey matter, causes anxiety and stress and is ultimately inefficient.
