Being a professional rider and/or trainer requires juggling multiple roles and mastering all of them. The demands on your time, skills and energy are endless. Pressure on you to be successful in the ring and bring out the best in your equine and human clients may be overwhelming at times. At Equestrian Minds, we have methods to help you manage these pressures, making it easier to attain riding and business goals.

As a professional rider, the expectations of owners and sponsors can get in the way of your best performance. We can help you fine-tune your mental skills to handle the most difficult circumstances. You are called on to quickly change focus, from schooling horses as the sun comes up, moving from horse to horse, training students and going from the jumper ring to the hunter ring and back. Being able to adjust to the various conditions, mounts, and personalities is crucial to your success. Mental performance techniques can help you move seamlessly between your responsibilities making you a more effective and sought after professional.

As a professional trainer, you know that successful clients are happy clients. One way to increase your clients’ success at home and at competitions is to utilize mental skills in conjunction with their physical training. Having a mental performance coach work with you and your clients to help them consistently ride their best gives you an edge over other trainers. Utilizing a mental performance coach will actually make your job easier. You will find that you won’t have to constantly repeat yourself with clients as they learn to “hear” you and assimilate your instructions more quickly. Our mental performance coach works with you to bring out the best in your clients.

Clinics and seminars conducted at your barn are a great way to get started. Contact us for a consultation.
