Fearful and Anxious Horseback Riders

This cartoon is what many horseback riders experience irrelevant of the discipline or years of riding. 

 After decades of helping Fearful and Anxious Riders here are the top 4 contributors: 

 *Lack of understanding in the horse’s behavior- this causes an increase of anticipation in the rider as the horse's behavior often feels unexpected 

 *Lack of Balance- folks can ride for years without truly knowing how to be centered in the saddle, the trickle down affect influences the lack of clear communication, exhaustion from their body trying to compensate, mental fixation on the unwanted 

 *Lack of consistent Breathing- this influences the rider’s balance, energy in communication with the horse, mental clarity, and perception of time 

 *Mind-Set Mayhem- these are the trigger thoughts influencing unwanted physical human behaviors leading to passive, reactive, after-the-fact critique of the horse creating insecurity in both the horse and human 

 Have you ever experienced any of these scenarios? What has/is the outcome?
