StressLess Showing: Have Your Best Season Ever!

Sunday, April 17, 2016 at the Jericho Community Center, Jericho, VT

You’ll return to your riding with an understanding of why your brain does what it does in a competition situation,  and with practical tools for maintaining Focused Calm under pressure.
