The Confident Cowgirl Clinic Sign Up

March 28-30th, 2025

Empowering Clinic for the Rider trying to find their Confidence on the ground and in the Saddle! The clinic that teaches you to Ride More and Fear Less.

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.

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.
