The Workshops are completely specific to Equestrian enthusiasts of all abilities. “From happy hackers with fears of falling off to experienced competition riders looking to improve performance” says Camilla. “It is an introduction to sports psychology and how to apply the principles to their riding, in competition and training. Over the course, we will be focusing on the core themes and issues we see in our job, such as handling competition nerves and pressure, including pressure from parents and others. Also social awareness, prioritizing for success, fear of failure and focusing on the task rather than the outcome.”
