We’ve All Been There…
Have you ever been afraid to ride or felt a sense of dread when your foot hits the stirrup?
Started feeling queasy in your stomach just driving out to the barn?
Or felt your mind racing through a dozen different what-if scenarios, even when you know your horse is calm and you aren’t in danger?
All riders, no matter their experience level, have experienced fear at some point.
Whether you’ve had an accident that shattered your confidence, or you’re experiencing the frustration and trepidation of learning new riding skills as an adult, you are not alone.
As riders, we accept the risks of our dangerous sport.
We are working with and riding large, sensitive animals. A healthy dose of caution and respect for a horse’s strength and power is a good thing – it’s what keeps us safe and smart.
However, when fear stands in the way of joy, when tense muscles and a turning stomach replace ease when you sit in the saddle, and when you wonder, “will I ever be able to ride with confidence?” You are faced with a daunting challenge…
… and a grand opportunity.
When “Just Get Back On the Horse” Doesn’t Help
No matter how common fear is, most riders’ nerves are brushed off with “just get back on” or “show him who’s boss”.
Riding instructors and your friends may give you this unhelpful advice. But the problem with “climbing back on the horse” is that your fear can become worse.
You might push yourself through a few rides and convince yourself that everything is okay, but your stomach still churns as you place your foot in the stirrup..
Maybe you find excuses not to ride.
Shame that you aren’t better by now.
Or you think about quitting.
But fear IS our friend.
It keeps us safe.
It helps us grow.
It tells us when we are challenging ourselves.
It is to be worked with, not fought against.
When you understand fear, and change the story around it, you can be a great rider and partner for your horse.
Building or rebuilding confidence isn’t always easy but it is possible.
And you can do it.
Taking control of your fear or anxiety begins with looking squarely at your fear. Without judgment.
Learn to listen to your own body, and slow down to go faster.
Create a simple, consistent plan to build not only your riding skills, but your MINDSET skills. Manage your emotion by feeling it, not stomping down the feeling or pretending it isn’t there.
Moment by moment, you can clear negative thoughts, find connection with yourself and your horse, and truly love riding again.
Let’s do this together.
In Calm & Confident Rider, you will have a daily video and exercise to take that next step forward each and every day.
With 5 minutes a day, you will build practices to support you through a lifetime of riding.
I’m Callie King, founder of HorseClass and online instructor to 100k riders worldwide. For more than ten years, I have helped riders find their confidence and connect with their horse through holistic, evidence-based online courses and programs.
I know fear. I have had my share of accidents too.
There was a time I used to dread going to the barn. I was just so scared I would fall off my hot, sensitive Thoroughbred yet again.
Riding was far from fun back then.
But I’m stubborn and fortunately I am drawn to challenge.
If you are here, looking for a way through your own anxiety, I bet you can relate.
As I continued to ride, I gained skills and confidence. My fear made me a better riding instructor, and it made me a better trainer for my horses. Because I get it. I acknowledge the pit in my stomach and I figured out how to work with it not against it.
My path led me to sports psychologists, therapists, trauma research and through it all I had the lens of “how can this help my riders”?
What I learned is what I bring you in this course.
