Work on your mental game with Andrea Waldo, event rider, trainer, and author of the best-selling book, “Brain Training for Riders!” 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 unmounted workshop will leave you feeling confident, energized, and ready to tackle the upcoming season!

Did you know there is an area of your brain known as the “Lizard Brain” that thinks only about the immediate moment and your means of survival? Yes, in certain circumstances, your “Rational Brain” can effectively “shut down” and you are at the mercy of a reptile…dry-mouthed, sweating, queasy, unable to think clearly—even though you know better. When does the Lizard Brain run the show? It can happen in any number of unfamiliar, uncomfortable, challenging, or “stressful” riding situations. But here’s the thing: with the right kind of training, you can learn to manage the reptile within, which leads to greater confidence with horses, better riding performance, and ultimately, happiness at the barn, at shows, and everywhere in between.
