- Are you at a real confidence crisis?
- Feeling almost like giving up?
- Everything is now a struggle each day?
- Find your skills have deserted you?
- Finding it hard to do even the simple things with your horse?
- Constantly comparing yourself to others and feel depressed?
- Do you feel like you are ‘failing’ your horse?
- Feel you are not ‘good enough’ for your horse?
- Wishing you were young again when you rode carefree?
- Feeling depressed, tired, frustrated, even angry?
Enough is enough! You need a break, some time not just to sort out those crippling confidence issues, but just as importantly, to have some fun and to be around others who can help and support you!
We can end up going round and round in circles trying to find out answers to questions we don’t have. Trying to push ourselves into things we are too scared of. Trying to pretend to be brave when we are a quivering wreck inside and above all, just trying to hold it all together and get on with everything else in our lives.
We offer you two wonderful ways to help yourself:
CONFIDENCE CAMPS
You and your horse, getting quality training, having fun, establishing true connection and bond. These are lovely camps, full of activities, time to spend just grooming, having a massage, finding new friends and learning new skills.
