Sometimes it seems the more we try the worse we
ride. Developing mental skills along with the
physical ones allows riders to ride more effectively
without the tensions we set up by
"trying". Chartered psychologist April
Clay has written a practical how-to manual
that leads riders step-by-step through the process
of becoming "thinking riders".
She helps horse riders learn to use goal-setting,
self-talk, visualization and focus to improve their
riding whether for pleasure or competition. She
discusses how to manage butterflies and deal with
fears of various kinds.
Available in both paperback and e-book formats, Training
from the Neck Up includes clear explanations
as well as exercises for you to complete. Drawing
from her own experience riding hunter/jumpers, Clay
also gives lots of real-life examples.
The e-book version has several advantages. The most
important is that you can get it immediately. You
can download your copy right away, print it out and
put it in a binder (or read it on screen and just
print the exercise pages). To repeat exercises, for
example if you want to re-assess your goals, you
just print out a clean page.
