Caroline Andrews, Horse Rider Confidence Specialist, can help you enjoy competing again.....

Typically you are over 25 and a competent rider where:

You are fine with riding in familiar surroundings with no one watching but are filled with dread at the thought of taking your horse to a competition where there will be other people and your horse may behave differently.

You are going to competitions but your nerves just get the better of you, you upset your horse, you forget the test or course and come home feeling disappointed and beating yourself up for being so stupid.

Either way you are sure to be suffering from the ‘what ifs?’ Does any of the following apply to you?

Your stomach churns at the thought of competing.
You lie awake the night before a competition worrying about not being able to remember the test or course.
The thought of having other people watch you compete makes you want to run and hide.
Your behaviour changes at competitions and not for the better!
Your horse is upset by your emotions which makes competing difficult.
You rush around in a complete stress on the day of the competition, arriving feeling harassed and upset.
You long to feel calm and float through the day effortlessly, taking whatever happens in your stride but just don’t know how.
You spend your time thinking ‘if only I had more confidence I could be good at this’.
You find it difficult to focus on what you are doing during the competition, being easily distracted by the announcements, people and dogs milling about, the other competitors.
You simply freeze both mentally and physically.

If any or all of these things apply to you then you will benefit from Caroline’s 'Riding with Confidence Success Program'©. This program, which includes private, horseless sessions with Caroline, will help you re-build your riding confidence, including:

Hannah from Wilts grew up with horses and had competed in the past, an unfortunate incident caused her to lose her confidence and seek Caroline's help to get her back on track. Here's what she says about her experience:

'We have been really brave and booked onto training days away from home, before attempting our first competition with British Dressage.

I would highly recommend Caroline to help with any rider confidence issue. She is a powerful font of knowledge with a complete understanding of how you feel, allowing you to be at ease and to truly focus on becoming the confident rider you want to be.'
