“Ten Tips For Working With Fear, Around Horses”

1 – Acknowledge your strengths and accomplishments

2 – Acknowledge the fear – I Feel Fear

3 – Determine the source of the fear, is it past, or present, or perhaps the future

4 – Is it appropriate, right now?

5 – Make a Decision – can I work with it now?

6 – If the answer is a NO, what now? – Celebrate that a decision has been made, ground work (change, not stop)

7 – For a YES decision – Gather Tools – rider, change place in arena, change place position, pace, 

8 – Move closer, stay longer and retreat – advance and retreat – ‘Jeffery Method’

9 – Stay present, talk, sing, breathe – be in the moment

10 – Be kind to yourself, small steps, celebrate – pressure down and off ourselves
