Ride FearLess Retreat Sign Up

May 21-26th

Empowering Retreat for the Rider trying to find their Confidence on the ground and in the Saddle!

There are 2 main pieces to my Ride FearLess Program. One is a given, and that is Horsemanship. Fear is rooted in the idea of "what if my horses loses control." So one of the best ways we can possibly work through that and overcome that is learn as much as we can about communicating effectively with our horses so that they are relaxed, and willingly guided by us. However, I found with my own journey that is not enough. The second part is a strong understanding of how fear operates in our brain, and learning tangible techniques that we can use to best "unravel" it.

Michael and Julia together make an incredible team to share a life changing experience for both you and your horse. You will join us for 6 days of great instruction both on the ground and under saddle. We will be there each step of the way to help guide you, cheer for you, and keep you going. If you are looking for a coach that will just yell at you to keep moving and pushing, you are in the wrong place. But if you are looking for one who is there to allow you to move at your own pace, teach you training methods, teach you more about how your thoughts impact you and your horse, and hold you accountable, then this is the retreat is for you.

This is horsemanship based retreat. Fear comes from the thought of being out of control. So one of the best ways to tackle this, is to create all the tools in your tool belt to have the best control of your horse you can have. We will work on the exercises you need both on the ground and under saddle to get you and your horse communicating fluently, as well as talk about the thought processes and ideas that we can use to help us master our own way of thinking and handling ourselves when Fear creeps in.

This is the program I wish that I had when I was going through my own battle with fear! But now you do, so that you can conquer it too.
