Jumping With Confidence
Specifically designed to help overcome a lack of confidence and/or feelings of fear, panic or apprehension when Jumping.
Perhaps you are new to jumping, or you have had a bad experience in the past. But Jumping is all about skill, timing, technique and a 'positive' attitude.

This can increase anxiety, and reduce confidence even more - creating a vicious circle of self-doubt, anxiety, fear, tension and low self-confidence.

Today�s roads are busier than ever, and it can be a nerve racking experience using them on horse back. Even if you just ride along one for a short distance to get to and from a safer location, the dread of this can spoil the ride ahead. Many riders have no alternative but to use the roads to exercise their horses during the winter months, or to help strengthen horse�s legs for the coming season, or you may be bringing a horse back into work following an illness, whatever the reason, avoiding using the roads could mean that your horse spends long periods of time stabled or out of work.
If you find that you are putting off riding because the roads, lanes or tracks have become �no go� areas; constantly worrying about meeting large vehicles or noisy motorbikes, paper bags on the roadside, dogs barking, or kids playing on skateboards etc, then this CD is for you. It will help you look at life on the road in a more rational, logical manner, helping you stay calm, relaxed and confident. Still being an observant rider, but not letting things get out of proportion. This calmer more relaxed frame of mind will help you, to help your horse. Incorporated into this CD is a technique - a physical trigger - that you can use when riding out to reaffirm a positive state of mind and boost your self-confidence.
