I want to enjoy riding again Hi. I'm Anne Gage of Confident
Horsemanship and that's the most common statement I hear on client calls. It
doesn't matter what discipline you ride, how long you've been riding, or how old
you are. You started riding because you wanted to have fun. But then something
happened along the way and you lost your confidence. And with that you've
lost your joy. And instead, you feel anxious and nervous and scared. But you
also feel ashamed, discouraged, frustrated, and alone. You've tried pushing through
your fear. YTu've white-knuckled it while you've
been riding. You've tried positive thinking. But the fear doesn't go away.
And, in fact, it seems to be growing. And it's impacting you more and more. So that
you're riding less and less. And when you do ride, you're doing less and less. And
your family and friends are asking why you keep spending money to keep a horse
that you don't ride. And your friends wonder why you're never available to
join them on trail rides or even to ride in the arena. And you wonder what will
happen to your horse if you can't get past this anxiety and fear. Will you have
to sell him? Here's the truth. You don't have to ride your horse. There are loads
of people who enjoy spending time hanging out with their horses grooming
them, taking them for walks - yes, hiking with your horse is a thing. People
play games with them at liberty. And they enjoy those activities. And they have
great partnerships with their horses. So, you don't have to ride to have a great
partnership with your horse. And your horse won't care if you're not riding
him. Really! When you think about it, it's a bit crazy
that we actually get on these thousand pound flight animals. And it's a bit
crazy that those thousand pound flight animals actually let us get on their
backs and ask them to do weird and wacky things that they would never choose to
do on their own. But if you really want to ride, and as long as we're keeping the
animals overall well-being in mind - keeping them healthy physically and
mentally - so that it's enjoyable and enriching for
them, then I can help you. Because I know your pain. I've been where you are. After
I came off one of my own horses several years ago I became so fearful and
anxious that I felt nauseous and physically shook at the thought of
getting on any horse - not just the one I'd come off. And I was a riding coach
and horse trainer at the time. So I had a choice. I could give up riding. I could
give up training. I could give up teaching and go get a regular job. Or I
could figure out how to rebuild my confidence and do the work I needed to
do and carry on doing what I love doing most. So I've spent years studying how to
build confidence - first for myself and then for others. And I haven't stopped
learning or helping people. Because my mission is to help passionate horse
lovers become confident riders and build the best possible partnerships with
their horses. So it's enriching for the horses as well as for the people. Feeling
confident and enjoying the ride will remain forever out of your reach if you
aren't willing to take action and learn how to unlock the incredible potential
of your mind so that it can help you rather than holding you back. If you
don't do that, you'll remain stuck, fearful, and frustrated. And that's not
what I want for you. And if you've stuck with me this far, it's not what you want
for yourself either. Some of my one-to-one clients have been on the
verge of quitting of giving up riding when they first started working with me.
And the only thing holding them back at that point was the possibility that
they would have to sell their horses. And that was breaking their hearts. Like Liz
who came to me on the verge of quitting because of her fear of cantering. And
that had expanded into the fear of trotting ... because if the horse was
in a trot, it was very easy for him to go into a canter, wasn't it. And that
frightened her. In fact, she was on the verge of panic attacks.
But after working with me, she learned effective, proven and simple
techniques that I teach. And she was able to get back in the saddle and joy riding
again. What would riding be like if you weren't
feeling anxious all the time? How would you feel if you were able to finally get
rid of those negative thoughts that are holding you back,
not by sheer willpower because you've tried that and it doesn't work, but with
effective, proven techniques and strategies that really do work. That's
exactly what I'll be sharing with you in my new group coaching program Winning
The Confidence Game. It's for people who are sick and tired of being scared and
stuck and are ready to move forward. It's for people that know that mindset is
what's holding them back from reaching their potential as a rider. It's for

forward. I don't want you to continue to struggle with your confidence in 2019! I
