Harnessing the power of the mind in Equestrian Sports. Helping equestrians  learn and apply specific psychological skills to enhance their performances. Helping riders cope with their reactions to accidents or injury such as anxiety, fear and loss of confidence.

Psychology is more than the application of mental and emotional skills to maximize performance. It's the exploration and understanding of the psychological factors that impact or are impacted by our participation in equestrian sport.
