"Advancing the mind body relationship between horse and rider"
Confidence Clinics
Unmounted Nervous Rider Clinic
Confidence Clinics - 2 days
"Empathy is imperative in teaching confidence clinics. I don't believe someone can really understand what riders who have lose their nerve go through. The only way to understand is to have gone through it yourself. I have ridden that roller coaster ride of highs and lows following accidents but it's the desire to keep riding that keeps us going through the lows and nothing beats that feeling of riding or even just sitting comfortably and confidently on the back of a horse again!" Lisa Venables
This clinic is designed for you the owner rider to 'get away' from it all, take a deep breath and develop your inner relationship with yourself and your horse.
The course is generally structured as follows over the two days; however the course is flexible so you can bring your own wish list to the course allowing you to choose to do more off horse work if you wish.
The ridden sessions will be tailored to your needs - they could include meditation and relaxation, energy exchange between horse and rider in the halt and walk, flatwork, more advance dressage techniques, poles, grids, jumping, race riding, hacking, riding past a scary vehicle, or problem solving.
Please advise on application your wish list so we can maximise
your learning.
This course is also suitable for dismounted participants.
