Confidence & Trust - Solving the Horse + Human Equation

Nervous rider? Feeling frustrated? 

In this book Dr Shelley Appleton helps you discover the origins and complexities of your frustrations and why the methods you may have been using haven't helped your nerves. It gives you an understanding of the barriers that impact building confidence and trust in your horse.

Dr Appleton facilitates a multilayered approach to understand where, how and why fears and frustrations come from and how to overcome them. 

Are "brave" riders really brave?

What she discovered redefines the "brave" rider as competent, trusting and above all analytical. This allowed her to identify that confidence can be expressed as an equation:

Confidence = Competence (in yourself) x Trust (in your horse) x Time

This equation allows riders to target the disconnect between human and horse, helping solve confidence issues and bringing back true enjoyment to riding.  

This book has focussed on delivering the message succinctly, making difficult concepts easy to understand and gives you a practical approach that is easily tailored to your situation.
