You are not alone!

In Overcoming the Fear of Riding, sports psychologists Theresa J. Jordan, Ph.D. and Peter E. De Michele, M.Ed, talk with some of the most successful equestrians about overcoming their fears.

The experts discuss fear of injury, embarrassment, failure and performance anxiety. These interviews and the authors' professional approach provide the insight you need to deal effectively with many different manifestations of fear that relate to your horseback riding activities.

You will learn to:

1.) Understand and apply REBT - Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy - a proven psychological tool for counteracting negative thinking, anxiety and fear.
2.) Discover the very important differences between good risks and bad risks in equestrian sports; between rational and irrational thoughts and fears.
3.) Understand your nervous feelings and channel them into being "pumped up" - not "freaked out."
4.) Use the book's unique appendix to find your situation and work through it.
