As an accomplished equestrian, my passion lies in guiding fellow riders to surmount barriers that impede their performance, enabling them to navigate the challenges within the arena and in their broader lives. I, too, grappled with the paralyzing uncertainties inherent in the competitive horse show environment. The looming "what-if" scenarios plagued me – fears of losing control of my horse concerns about external judgment, and doubts about the value of my efforts at the show. This fear of failure significantly hampered my performance, leaving me powerless in critical moments, despite possessing the skills to ride competently.
