“The Confident Equestrian E-Workbook”: New Approach to Mastering 101 Confidence Skills

PRLog (Press Release) - May 2, 2012 - Nationally known equestrian confidence coach Cathy Rivers, as part of her Big Horse Dreams, The Confident Equestrian Program, has designed a new e-Workbook that provides a proven learning progression for mastering confidence skills in order to improve your training, riding, competing, communication and overall enjoyment of your partnership with your horse.

‘’The Confident Equestrian e-Workbook,’’ which is organized into ten separate easy-to-understand skill areas that range from ‘’My Well-Being,’’ to ‘’In the Saddle’’ guides you towards the mastery of mindset, proven horsemanship techniques, and how to be the leader for your horse. Rivers has insightfully identified one-hundred-and-one skills needed to create and establish consistent confidence in the rider and for the benefit of the horse.

‘’In any aspect of your life,’’ says human dynamics expert Cathy Rivers, an accomplished equestrian and horse breeder also, ‘’you have more authentic confidence when you are physically, mentally, technically and emotionally equipped. The same is true for having confidence working with and riding your horse. The more you can bring all of yourself to your relationship with your horse, the more you will experience a true and lasting confidence.’’  

‘’The Confident Equestrian e-Workbook’’ presents both horse owners and equestrians a roadmap to improving horsemanship and confidence over time.

•   Confidence assessment
•   101 skills organized into 10 Skill Areas
•   Designed to create and support confidence
•   Track your progress
•   Companion questions
•   Coaching support through Big Horse Dreams programs

By utilizing a grounded holistic approach towards self-awareness and change, Rivers has designed ‘’The Confident Equestrian e-Workbook’’ as a vehicle to ask each reader questions that allow the opportunity to assess self behavior, behavior of the horse, approaches towards training, self-esteem, care, horsemanship, safety and trust.

Through this assessment each reader can begin to see strengths and weaknesses in the area of personal confidence and begin to develop skills to create authentic and lasting confidence for a better partnership between owner and horse.

‘’The Confident Equestrian e-Book’’ is also a proven tool for riders who are looking to boost competitive confidence.

‘’You can have great technique in your chosen equestrian sport,’’ says Rivers,  ‘’but not the confidence to match it; it’s the confidence key that let’s you and your horse succeed.’’
