Hi, I'm Chevy. I'm a Horsemanship Life and Confidence Coach that helps riders get gritty and develop mental skills so they can confidently go after their horse dreams. And like many riders, I've had plenty of close calls along my horsemanship journey! I have felt afraid in the saddle. I have felt nervous and anxious. I have experienced what it feels like to not be confident.
In this free online video series, you will learn what Gritty Riders do differently:
1. What to do right after a close call with your horse to wire your brain for confidence (this is essential to shifting your mindset from negative and fear based to positive and strengths based!)
2. How to retell your close call story to prevent reinforcing fear-this is where many riders make a big mistake that wrecks their confidence.
3. What to do when a previous close call comes back to haunt you so it doesn't wreck your ride.
