StressLess Riding Workshop: Train Your Brain for a Confident Ride! Sunday, Nov. 6, 2016

Do you struggle with confidence when you ride at home, in lessons, or at shows? Come learn how to tame your Lizard Brain–the “Fight or Flight” part of your mind–and ride effectively and confidently. You’ll identify ways to reassure your “inner lizard, ” escape from negative Brain Traps, and “own” your abilities. This is an unmounted workshop, appropriate for all levels and riding disciplines.

Hosted by Winchester Stables, 336 River Rd., Newfane, VT. $65 per person. To register, contact Bevin Dugan at winchester.vt@gmail.com.
